>You are Daiyousei, a unique fairy living at Misty Lake.
>You used to be regarded as, if anything, a regular fairy a few years ago. But your life changed when you encountered Reimu and Marisa during the unusual Red Mist. Since then, because of how well you defended Misty Lake against them, you have been looked up to and respected by the fairies of the area, as if you were their leader. You begun to make a comfortable amount of friends thanks to the incident, and you've become much better than your old shy and reclusive self.
>For a while now, you've noticed that the amount of fairies at Misty Lake has been dropping steadily. You don't really know the cause, and you haven't asked for help yet either. It's up to you to find and deal with the problem since unfortunately, no one else really cares a lot about fairies.
>You are outside of your house at Misty Lake. It's early morning; pretty warm. The menacing red mansion looms in the distance, opposite of the rest of the area. Aside from worrying about the population, today seems like another fine day.

O.o New quest, fresh in the morning.
>Do we have any clues to start at ?
>The most likely causes would be Reimu and Marisa, or the red mansion across from here. But that's just speculating, as there is no evidence to where they go, when they go, or even how. One minute, they're fighting or talking, and the next, they're gone without a trace.
>Inventory
>You have only your clothes with you, consisting of your usual blue dress. It's nothing special.
>The other few possessions you have rest in your treehouse, currently behind you.
>Search for Cirno or Lily.
>You look around for Cirno first. She's sitting with her feet in the lake, next to her igloo. Her house is a bit away from the rest of the trees as well as your house.
>You don't know where Lily lives, but she's usually seen flying about. You check the skies and spot her approaching the area.
>Ponder our relation with Cirno and other friends.
>Friends and Enemies?
>After the incident, you made friends with Cirno. She, in turn, later introduced you to her new friends. Mystia Lorelei, Wriggle Nightbug, and Rumia. They're all youkai, not fairies, so it was a bit hard to open up to them at first. Mystia, the night sparrow, is undoubtedly the smartest of them, while also the busiest. Wriggle has more time on her hands, but has a thing about insects. Rumia isn't the brightest, and often follows Cirno blindly. You all make up Team 9, named by Cirno. Your usual meeting point has been decided as your house, being the most convenient of the four.
>Ah, Cirno. You and her had some fantastic times together. Both good and bad. You stuck with her when odds were huge, like that one time she was almost eaten by the giant toad in the lake. Sadly, those times didn't last, as during one of your usual games of hide and seek, Cirno disappeared without telling you. You checked her house for her, but it was trashed. Things just got worse from there, as the fairies started fighting each other relentlessly. Many called it the Fairy Wars. After beating you way through lots of fairies, you found Cirno and tried to talk to her, but she acted like she never knew who you were! You fought to try and get her to remember, but ended up losing. Later that same day, you saw her fighting with 3 other fairies, and enlisted the help of Lily White to challenge her again afterwards. The attempt ended in a failure as well, and you left home after the war begun to die down. You decided to talk with her again, thinking she was just having a rough day, but instead saw her playing games and pranking with the same 3 fairies she fought earlier. The fact that she forgot about you and befriended her apparent enemies had devastated you. You've rarely hung out with her since then, especially since she's changed so much, power-wise as well...
>You are good friends with Lily White as well. She's nice, and it's a wonder why no one has taken the time to befriend her.
>Letty could be considered a friend as well. She's really mature. You think she enjoys your presence, while she clearly only barely tolerates Cirno's.
>Your current enemies include Reimu and Marisa, and maybe those 3 fairies Cirno seems to have abandoned you for. Are they really the ones at fault for that though?
>Have we ever come close to the Mansion or in ?
>You've gone close to it whenever Cirno decides to enter it, but you've never dared to venture inside. That place is scary. Every time Cirno tried to go inside, she reappeared right next to you, instantly. The guard at the gate is also a strong youkai. Thankfully, she's friendly, and doesn't mind it when fairies gather to watch her in her pass times. The only people you've seen in the mansion were a maid, Reimu and Marisa, and Cirno. There was also a red haired devil who left the mansion for a few minutes a while back. It happened when Cirno and a bunch of fairies, as well as figures from the mansion left to various places in Gensokyo. Something about fights and 'really-gen'.
>"Yawn.... such a nice day, time to get things done !"
>Fly around.
>You stretch and take to the air. Lily sees you and flies up to you.
"Daiyousei, It's Spring again!"
>How likely is that the gap lady is responsible for this ? :V
>The what? You've never heard of such a person.
>What kind of current events have gone down lately that we know of?
>There were "incidents", but you've only really witnessed a couple. They include the Red Mist incident, and the Fairy Wars. You heard Cirno talk about a daidarabotchi before too. You heard about fights for popularity and that everyone would be going around Gensokyo to watch them, but you decided to stay at Misty Lake during that time.
>More current however, is the new status of Rumia. After the meeting that was held yesterday, you learned that she apparently lives in the mansion across the lake now. It was too late to ask more about it, but next time you see her, you should consider it.
Quest Added: Hotel Rumia; Rumia mentioned that she lives in that menacing mansion now. You should ask her more about it when you get the chance, and maybe request a tour.
>Skills?
>Aside from flight and being immortal because you're a fairy, you have the ability to WARP decent distances. Like Cirno's cold and Lily White's spring...ness, you consider this to be your specialty, if anything. Your skilled enough to warp mid battle, no sweat.
>You and a bunch of other fairies have started using a fireball type of danmaku, in order to counter Cirno during the fairy wars, as she was clearly the biggest target, dominating everyone else. The fire danmaku can't be frozen by her.
>You are smarter than almost every fairy you know, and even a few youkai. You can even read and write! (It definitely isn't the result of you and Cirno sometimes stealing from humans) Though it takes a long while and it's much better to just look at pictures and draw them. You believe that you're retaining your knowledge well by avoiding situations where you could die; like the ones all the other fairies idiotically get into. People may mean this when they say you're shy. Because you tend to stray from dangerous situations however, you haven't been able to get much stronger than normal.
>You have no spell cards, which is embarrassing, considering that Rumia and Cirno both have some.
>Cast Haste on Miniking
Miniking is afflicted with Haste and starts to write the replies immediately after he see's them. This turns the game into a 1:1 since no one has time to post anything.
-
>Do we know about any interesting people or things living in the lake itself?
>Can we warp through or around solid objects, or just empty air?
-
>Do we know about any interesting people or things living in the lake itself?
>The first thing that comes to mind is the giant frog. It dislikes Cirno because she's freezing other frogs who are helpless against her. It's attacked her from time to time, but the attacks seemingly stopped ever since the fairy wars. It either left or doesn't come out anymore.
>There's also the mermaid who lives in the lake. You don't know much about her, other than how she is sometimes visited by a black haired lady with long nails and animal ears, and a youkai who could detach her head and move it around on its own.
>Can we warp through or around solid objects, or just empty air?
>You can. You can even warp into solid objects, but this is the worst idea ever, as if it isn't hollow, you'll be crushed by the object in an instant, feeling incredible pain all in one second. Fights have never been as painful as that...
-
>Let's go to the lake and try to find that mermaid.
>And also take stock of the faeries around there, it'd be a problem if we lost more.
-
> When Lily isn't looking, check chest for usual growths. Gotta make sure we're in condition to retain our title of Big Fairy should a challenger appear!
-
> When Lily isn't looking, check chest for usual growths. Gotta make sure we're in condition to retain our title of Big Fairy should a challenger appear!
> Making sure that Lily isn't paying attention, you grasp your breasts and feel them for any unnatural changes, and any changes in general. You don't feel anything different. You're just as you have been yesterday and the day before. Your chest in question is larger than most, even those who have a bit more than a flat chest. Of all your friends, your's are the largest (except Letty. You still haven't reached her.) They're still smaller than those of the guard of the mansion, but she's a Youkai.
>Let's go to the lake and try to find that mermaid.
> You fly over the lake and look for the mermaid. She's leaning over the edge of the lake, opposite of where Cirno is, and is splashing the water with her tail.
>And also take stock of the faeries around there, it'd be a problem if we lost more.
> There's about 20 or so fairies around right now, but that's because most others are probably still asleep. Last time you really checked, there were about 130 or so fairies Give or take.
>_
-
>You can have one hundred thirties? Holy crap!
>Wave to Lily, and head toward the Mermaid.
-
>You can have one hundred thirties? Holy crap!
> It's really amazing. First you learned about the -teens, then twenties and thirties. It was really hard. Hundreds weren't as hard though, because most of them were pronounced similarly. But there's this one that's like one hundred zero, or ten ten or something. The actual word is 'sand something'...maybe.
>Wave to Lily, and head toward the Mermaid.
> You wave to Lily as she continues along her path. She waves back before she begins to shoot danmaku and shout: "SPRING IS HERE!!" A few fairies get nailed by the danmaku, while others fly away from Lily in annoyance. There's the usual few that try to fight her in vain.
> You fly down to the mermaid. Surprisingly, she hasn't dove back underwater yet. That's her usual response when fairies try to approach her. She has stopped splashing in the water though.
-
>Wait so how did Team
Oddball (9) end up then, since Cirno doesn't remember us ?
>Do we know the names of the 3 fairies that Cirno started hanging out with ?
>Do we know why is Rumia living there ? Is she a maid now ?
>"Um, hi there, what is your name ? I am Daiyousei and this is Lily"
-
>Gesture toward wherever Lily is at the moment.
-
>Wait so how did Team Oddball ⑨ end up then, since Cirno doesn't remember us ?
> Cirno introduced you to Mystia, Wriggle and Rumia a while after the Red Mist incident. She also came up with the name some time before the Fairy Wars started, which is when she forgot about you.
>Do we know the names of the 3 fairies that Cirno started hanging out with ?
> You do not. You however have asked around for a trio of fairies, and found out that they were apparently the most notorious pranksters. They make up a group called the Three fairies of Light. You could ask Cirno about them, but that would be awkward...maybe another time.
>Do we know why is Rumia living there ? Is she a maid now ?
> You didn't get the chance to ask, and you haven't seen her in an outfit other than her usual one.
>"Um, hi there, what is your name ? I am Daiyousei and this is Lily"
> As you finish your sentence, you point to Lily in the distance, still spreading spring.
>"Wakasagihime. I think everyone knows that fairy though. So um, you aren't here to fight, right? I've always seen you with Cirno, and you don't seem to fight as much as everyone else. Why?"
-
>"That's not important! What's important is this: Are you kidnapping faeries? It's kind of a big deal."
-
>"That's not important! What's important is this: Are you kidnapping faeries? It's kind of a big deal."
>Wakasagihime practically jumps in response to your question.
>"Kidnapping fairies? That's stupid." A shock seemingly runs through her as she realizes what she just said, or rather, who she just said it to.
>"I-I mean, sorry, it's not stupid. It's just that no one really has a use for fairies. No offense. Well, except for those at the Scarlet Devil mansion, but I don't think that's kidn..."
>The mermaid's voice fades out as soon as you hear that the mansion's residents are responsible for this. Of course it had to be that dreadful place. How in the world are you going to save them from there?
>Quest Added: The Scarlet Devil Mansion. The mermaid; Wakasagihime, has told you that the Scarlet Devil Mansion is the only place with a use for fairies. If she's right, then the residents must be the ones responsible for the declining population.
>"...not really a big deal. There are still a lot of fairies everywhere else in Gensokyo anyways. They also still outnumber the amount of Youkai at Misty Lake too." Wakasagihime finishes.
>_
-
>"That's pretty mean of you to say that. But i'll forgive you, however i dunno about Lily here."
>"Also, who is that girl with the weird ears and long nails and that youkai that can take her head off ?"
>"Well, thanks for the info anyways, miss !"
>Let's finish 2 quests with one stone !
>"Okay, cmon Lily, let's go see Rumia !"
>Fly to Mansion.

>"Sure...?" Wakasakakarot Wakasagihime replies.

Player 2: Press Start to play as Lily White!
>The mermaid returns to playfully splashing the water with her tail when the two of you are far enough from her.
>You and Lily arrive above the gate of the "Scarlet Devil Mansion" The gate guard youkai is down at the gate, doing her exercises.

>Go to the gate guard lady.
>"Excuse me Miss, sorry for interrupting, but we would like to visit our friend Rumia, she said that she was living here now, so could you let us in ? We promise not to cause trouble."

>Go to the gate guard lady.

>Await answer anxiously.
>"Oh, you're friends of Rumia? Sure, I can take you to her. Come on." The gate guard says and leads your duo towards the mansion doors.
> As she opens the doors, you're treated to the sight of massive hallways with subtle decorations. They not too distracting, but they still manage to make the halls look better.
>The gate guard motions for you to follow.
-
>Follow the Chinawoman
>How often have we been to the mansion in the past? Is this our first time here?
>Look around.
>How smart are we compared to other fairies?
-
>How often have we been to the mansion in the past? Is this our first time here?
It is the first time that you have came inside, you never sneaked in with Cirno because you were afraid (and with some reason).
>How smart are we compared to other fairies?
You are considerably more smart than most fairies, being able to even read and write with some effort, although you still prefer images, you think this is a result of not doing too many dangerous action like other fairies do.
What do you mean by why am i the parser ? I'm not, i am the helper, not only do i participate, but i also help clarify info.
>Examine Guard Lady.
>"Oh right, i haven't introduced ourselves, i am Daiyousei and my friend here is Lily, and what about your name, miss ?"
-
>Follow the Chinawoman
> You follow the Youkai strange clothing into the mansion. She starts to lead you down one of the halls.
>How often have we been to the mansion in the past? Is this our first time here?
> This is the first time you've ever been inside the mansion. It's not as scary as you previously perceived it to be, but maybe that's because the phenomenon that happens whenever Cirno or another fairy tries to enter didn't happened to you.
//Eh, Raf was pretty accurate.
>Look around.
> You let your eyes roam the mansion's interior. Aside from the decorations, there are the rare few windows here and there. There is also a multitude of rooms and other hallways, as if the mansion was larger on the inside than the outside.
> As the gate guard leads you around a turn, you see fairies flying through the halls and fixing the occasional decoration off to the side of the hall. They're wearing maid outfits. Are your companions being forced to do chores!?
>How smart are we compared to other fairies?
> You are much smarter than the lesser average fairy. You are also capable of reading and writing well, but not without considerable difficulty. If you were to take a sort of intelligence test, you would surprise onlookers with the comparison of your intelligence to other fairies. This is probably due to dying much less than a fairy normally does, possibly retaining more knowledge. If this is right, then that would mean Lily is a bit smarter than others, since other fairies don't want to fight her as much.
>Examine Guard Lady.
>"Oh right, i haven't introduced ourselves, i am Daiyousei and my friend here is Lily, and what about your name, miss ?"
> The youkai is wearing a strange outfit. It's a green dress, but the bottom is made like it's split or cut into three strips. Shouldn't she be embarrassed about the possibility of someone seeing her panties!? She has long red hair with two braids tied near the shoulders by ribbons. She has a green cap on with a star on it.
> "Ah, I forgot to introduce myself as well. My name is Hong-"
> "China!"
> The youkai is interrupted by the sound of someone behind you. It's the maid you've seen before near the mansion. Even so, you haven't seen her this close.
> "But Sakuya, you can't call me that when I'm not doing anything bad. It's Hong Meiling." The youkai complains.
> The maid points towards you and Lily.
> "Well, they're friends of Rumia, and they wanted to see her."
> "Yes, and I'm sure Marisa is a friend of Patchouli's." The maid; Sakuya, says sarcastically.
> "But they are. They promised not to do any harm too. I'm doing my job well Sakuya-san, honest!" Meiling pleads.
> "Alright, they can visit Rumia, as long as they don't cause any trouble."

You are much smarter than the lesser average fairy.
>Dai-yogi Bear
>Examine Chore-doers. Do we recognize any of them?
-
>Dai-yogi Bear
>Examine Chore-doers. Do we recognize any of them?
> You do, somewhat. They're part of the group of fairies that started to sleep in the middle of the day, everyday, so they could be up all night and all day. You suppose it explains why they're up so early in the morning. You don't know them personally though.
> "Hey!" Lily shouts at Sakuya. "You're the human that kidnapped me before!"
> "Oh would you look at the time." Sakuya says, as she pulls out a watch.
> "I still want my apolo-CLICK"gy!"
> As Lily finishes her sentence, you and her are suddenly standing in a dimly lit room. It's not too dark to see, nor too bright. Rumia is on a bed, directly in front of you. She's sleeping, and looks just as adorable as she always does when asleep.
>_
-
>Turn to Lily.
>"She kidnapped you!?"
-
>Turn to Lily.
>"She kidnapped you!?"
> Your outburst startles something in the room, and you can hear flapping for a few seconds, before it stops.
>"Yeah. They tried to make me restore spring for them. I bet she knew it wouldn't work and just wanted to capture me for fun." Lily pouts.
> Rumia is still asleep.
-
>Hmm, should we wake her up ? I guess.
>Check the stuff we can see at the room.
>"Rumia ? Can you hear me ? Wake up."
>Examine Cute and not-so-smart Darkness Youkai Rumia.
>Did the fairy maids look sad or something while working ?
>How does the fairy respawn system work ?
-
>Check the stuff we can see at the room.
> There's the bed, the door, a few decorations that were present in the other rooms, a small, rectangular object, and a few dressers near the bed.
> You swear you just saw something move by one of the dressers.
>Hmm, should we wake her up ? I guess.
>"Rumia ? Can you hear me ? Wake up."
> You contemplate waking Rumia up, and decide for it.
> Rumia stirs in her sleep.
> "A little longer plea..." She utters.
>Examine Cute and not-so-smart Darkness Youkai Rumia.
> Rumia is the shortest member of your group. Just a tiny bit shorter than Cirno. She wears a black dress with a white shirt underneath. She has short, blonde hair. She also has a red amulet on one side of her hair. It looks like a ribbon, but she claims that it's an amulet that she can't take off. Of all 5 of you, Rumia looks the most adorable, especially when asleep.
>Did the fairy maids look sad or something while working ?
> They didn't. They actually looked happy. But their expressions changed when Sakuya came. They looked really focused then.
>How does the fairy respawn system work ?
> Re-spawning occurs automatically when a fairy dies. For you, you wake up back at home. You believe that Cirno does so too. Though, recently, she's been able to re-spawn near the same place she died. You thankfully keep your clothes when you re-spawn.
>_
-
>Remove the amulet.
>Nudge Rumia.
-
>Remove the amulet.
>Nudge Rumia.
>You remove Rumia's amulet and both you and Lily are blasted back to the wall with immense force. As your vision fades, You see a tall and mature-looking Rumia standing over you. Oh no, no, nononono! She's bustier than you!!!
Game Over
Press R to Respawn
>You nudge Rumia. She opens her eyes and looks at you.
>"Daiyousei? Yawn~, what are you doing here?"
>She sits up and starts to rub her eyes.
-
>Smile
>"Visiting you of course ! I was curious about what you told me and my affairs led me here, so here we are."
>Wait for Rumia to get up.
>Now that Nazgul mentioned, is that what would really happen if we removed the amulet ? If not what would ?
>"So why are you living here and what do you do here ?"
-
>Smile
>"Visiting you of course ! I was curious about what you told me and my affairs led me here, so here we are."
>Wait for Rumia to get up.
> "Oh, okay." Rumia says as she gets off the bed. She then begins to put the blanket back in place. "Welcome to my room." She says with her arms outstretched.
>Now that Nazgul mentioned, is that what would really happen if we removed the amulet ? If not what would ?
> You imagine what the purpose of that amulet in Rumia's hair is for. It can't be for decoration if she can't touch or remove it... Is it sealing something? Does it protect her? You have no clue.
>"So why are you living here and what do you do here ?"
> "They said I'm not supposed to talk about what I do here...Sorry."
> Rumia starts to gaze around the room. She then gets down to check under her bed for something.
-
>"Watchya lookin' for?"
-
>"Watchya lookin' for?"
> "Flandre." Rumia replies. "She's always in here when I wake up, but sometimes she hides."
> "Flan? Like, the dessert?" Lily questions.
> "Oh, I really want some. Do you have any?" Rumia asks.
> "No, I thought you just said you did."
> "Aw, I don't have any either... Hey, what were we doing again?"
-
>"I think we were going to visit the other parts of the mansion, if that scary maid doesn't complain about it."
>"Rumia, and what about those fairies working here ? Why are they helping with the tasks here ? They're not...... slaves are they.... *shiver* ?"
-
>"Have they been kidnapping anyone? This is super important!"
-
>"I think we were going to visit the other parts of the mansion, if that scary maid doesn't complain about it."
> "It's okay, I can take you anywhere. Except the mister sis's room. Sakuya says no one can go there unless the mister sis says so."
>"Rumia, and what about those fairies working here ? Why are they helping with the tasks here ? They're not...... slaves are they.... *shiver* ?"
>"Have they been kidnapping anyone? This is super important!"
> "They're not slaves, they work here as maids. Oh! Daiyousei, you should ask to become a maid!" Rumia says enthusiastically. "You get a place to stay and Sakuya teaches you stuff. She even gives you free food! Ah, now I'm hungry."
-
>"That sounds like a pretty sweet deal..."
-
>"That sounds like a pretty sweet deal..."
> "It is!"
> "I can't be a maid, I have to tell everyone that it's Spring." Lily says.
> Rumia walks over to the door and opens it.
> "I'm going to go get something to eat. You guys should come too."
> Lily starts to follow Rumia out the door.
-
>Follow as well. Food is always good.
>"What's the catch, though?"
Edit: Are we interested in maiding it up? Given Dainoji here is a faerie, it's pretty easily to rationalize getting in or getting out. In fact, we ought probably keep our intentions on our sleeves, given faerieness. In my case, I can go either way; though what I imagine would happen is that she would probably just wander off after a little while.
-
>Follow as well. Food is always good.
>"What's the catch, though?"
> You follow Rumia out the door, and your trio walk down one of the halls.
> "What's the catch? Uh...that means...that means the bad thing right? There's no bad things. I don't have to worry about getting beat up or the bright sunlight outside."
> "I think Daiyousei means the bad things for fairies, Rumia." Lily corrects her.
> "Oh, uh...they say that chief maid is scary sometimes, and she sorta is. Oh! They said that she's really scary when the mister sis is with her."
-
>"Food, but scary things... I dunno... That's a hard one."
>Follow along.
-
>"Food, but scary things... I dunno... That's a hard one."
>Follow along.
> "We can't die though, so why wouldn't anyone go for it?" Lily chimes in.
> "Well, they also say Flandre is way scarier than Sakuya, but that's a lie, because she's nice and fun."
> Rumia leads the three of you to a dead end. There's a moment of silence before she turns around and starts heading another way. The two of you continue to follow her.
> You hear noises coming from a corner a bit further ahead.
>_
-
>"What's that noise?"
-
>"What's that noise?"
> Lily flies to the corner and peers around it.
> "It's fairies. They're running. Hey why aren't you guys flying?" Lily shouts around the corner.
> "Is that so?" Rumia starts walking to Lily.
> The sound sounds like screams and shouting now.
-
>Hurry ahead! Those could be kidnapping noises!
-
>Hurry ahead! Those could be kidnapping noises!
> You quickly fly to the intersection in the hallway and are passed by the fairy maids from before, running away from a small group of bats. Doors are opening on the sides of the hall as other fairies wake up to look out from their rooms at the scene. The bats ignore your trio as they pass.
> "She says we can't!" One of them shouts back in response to Lily's question.
>_
-
>"Silly bats! You're not supposed to be indoors!"
>Wave arms to ward them away.
>"You're supposed to be outside eating bugs and fruits and fruit bugs! And be asleep because it's light out!"
-
>"Silly bats! You're not supposed to be indoors!"
>Wave arms to ward them away.
> You catch up and try to ward the bats away. Your attempts are ignored, and they continue chasing the fairies.
>"You're supposed to be outside eating bugs and fruits and fruit bugs! And be asleep because it's light out!"
> As you finish, the bats stop all at once and vanish when they converge at a spot. In their place stands a little girl with light-blue hair and a pink dress and matching cap. She has bat-like wings, as well as red eyes accompanying the most offended face you've seen since Rumia told Wriggle that she looked like a boy.
>"What!?" She questions from afar.
>The group of fairies escaped, turning a corner while the bats were distracted.
-
>"Oh, hello there Missus Bats."
>Frown. Then look at Lily. "Is it okay for bat people to be indoors...?"
-
>"Oh, hello there Missus Bats."
>Frown. Then look at Lily. "Is it okay for bat people to be indoors...?"
> You greet the bat girl and frown before addressing your uncertainty to Lily.
> "I guess so. There's no rules against it or anything, is there?" Lily answers.
> "I do NOT eat bugs!" The girl snaps. "And I can be awake at any time I- wait, you aren't even a maid, are you? Saku-CLICK"
> "Milady," Sakuya begins, as she appears out of nowhere. "Reimu is here."
> "Oh! Is she here for me!?" The bat girl asks excitedly.
> "Yes, but for work. It's about the population of humans in the human village."
> "Hmm, I thought we were being subtle enough. Perhaps we should have been more serious at the possibility of her finding out... Does she know about Rumia?"
> "She still only knows that the darkness youkai lives here." Sakuya pours the bat girl a cup of tea.
> "Then we're fine. Let's go Sakuya."
> The maid and the bat girl start to walk away.
>Rumia's stomach rumbles.
>_
-
>Huh, well that was weird.
>"What is that all about ? Are they kidnapping humans ?!? And what did they mean about you Rumia ?"
>Look at her confused.
>Continue heading towards the kitchen for food.
>Do we know what Rumia eats?
-
>Huh, well that was weird.
>"What is that all about ? Are they kidnapping humans ?!? And what did they mean about you Rumia ?"
>Look at her confused.
> "That was the mistress." A nearby fairy whispers to you from her room. "Chief maid says we shouldn't disrespect her and that we have to do everything she says or we'll be kicked out."
> "Unless you all want to start early, I suggest you stop gossiping and go back to bed." Sakuya says over her shoulder.
> "Sakuya, you should make them fight Reimu without flying. They are much less competent when they can't fly!" The bat girl insists.
> "As you wish... All of you, go fight Reimu at the entrance. Flying is forbidden, so if I catch one of you flying, that fairy will be sent to entertain the young mistress for the day."
> All of the fairies immediately barge out of their rooms, running down the halls.
> "How are we gonna not shoot each other?" Fairies ask each other as they run.
> "Can we still jump?
> "It doesn't matter, the red-white's going to beat us up anyways." another says less than happily.
> You ask Rumia your second and third question as Sakuya and the bat girl walk out of sight.
> "Your my friend, so maybe Sakuya would let me to tell you." Rumia thinks. "Sakuya said I can live here if I bring them humans. She told me to only go for someone alone and act like I was being beat up if Reimu or Marisa saw me. She also lets me hang out with Flandre because I can make it dark, and Flandre really doesn't like the light."
>Continue heading towards the kitchen for food.
>Do we know what Rumia eats?
> You remind Rumia that the three of you were in the middle of getting something to eat, and she starts to lead you somewhere again.
> Rumia is a youkai, so she eats humans. However, Rumia mentioned being beat up by Reimu multiple times because she's apparently not allowed to. It's likely that she just eats other meat instead. She really likes Mystia's lamprey, but then again, who doesn't?
> After a while of walking, Lily asks if Rumia knows where she's going.
> "Uh, not really. This mansion is really big and confusing. Sakuya usually brings me and Flandre our food together."
>_
-
>"We're lost, aren't we..."
-
>"We're lost, aren't we..."
> "Maybe it's this way." Rumia says.
> The three of you walk through the infinite halls for what feels like forever, hitting dead end after dead end.
> "I should get going soon..." Lily murmurs.
> "Yea, we're lost..." Rumia admits.
> _
-
>"Okay, okay! I know how to deal with this. If we check every door, sooner or later we have to find someplace we know! Or a window we can get out of."
-
>"Okay, okay! I know how to deal with this. If we check every door, sooner or later we have to find someplace we know! Or a window we can get out of."
>"But I'll get in trouble if Sakuya finds out I broke a window." Rumia says.
> "Wait, do you smell that?" Lily asks.
> The three of you stop to sniff the air for anything. You smell desserts, likely cake, as well as meat, around the corner.
> "We've gotta be close then!" Rumia cheers.
>_
-
>Follow dat smell!
-
>Follow dat smell!
Hey ! That was my line !
>What kind of dessert does it smell like ?
-
>Follow dat smell!
>What kind of dessert does it smell like ?
> It smells like strawberry cake and pudding and there's the smell of chocolate; probably cookies, as well as ice cream. This place must hold parties or something!
> You dash for the scent, turning a couple of corners and winding up at double doors, where the smell is definitely coming from. And it smells very good too. Rumia goes to open them, but-
> "They won't open..." Rumia slumps.
> "Well, we don't really need to eat. We can survive without food." Lily says.
> "But I can't. And I'm really hungry too. I haven't eaten all day."
> "We can try jumping out a window then. And we can blame it on one of the fairy maids if Sakuya finds out."
> "I guess so..." Rumia says.

> The door cracks open ever so slightly, and Meiling pokes her head out. She breathes a sigh of relief.
> "It's just Rumia and her friends" She says.
> "Hm... What do they want?" Someone's voice asks from inside the room.
> "I don't know." Meiling answers, before turning to you. "Hey, what do you three want?"
>_
-
>"Oh hi Miss Meiling ! We want food ! Rumia is also hungry !"
-
>"Oh hi Miss Meiling ! We want food ! Rumia is also hungry !"
> "I haven't eaten all day!" Rumia adds.
> The other door opens and Sakuya steps to the side of Meiling. Meiling goes back into the room and closes the doors.
> "I had brought you and the young mistress both food earlier. I left it in your room."
> "It wasn't there when we started to go around the mansion" Rumia complains
> Sakuya sighs as she reaches into her pocket and pulls out the watch again. "Wait here."

> "Huh, where'd she go!?" Lily questions.
>_
-
>Go wide-eyed.
>"...Maybe she was never here at all..."
-
>Go wide-eyed.
>"...Maybe she was never here at all..."
> "Ooh..." Rumia and Lily both say in wonder.
> "Wait, then why did the gate guard just leave us out here?" Lily questions.
> "I'm still starving!" Rumia begins to knock on the door again.
> CLICK "You three are annoyingly impatient." Sakuya says as she reappears with a tray. There's a few fairly big pieces of meat on it, along with a small cup of tea and a tiny slice of cake. "Rumia, the young mistress is awake and is looking for you. Please return to your room."
> "Flandre? Okay, but I don't know how to get back to my room."
> "Alright, I will deal with that. Are the two of you still accompanying Rumia?" Sakuya asks you and Lily
> "I have to go. It's spring you know!" Lily cheers. "It only comes once a year, but it's worth the wait!"
> Sakuya awaits your answer.
>_
-
>Stare at the cake for a moment.
>"Do maids get to eat that all the time? I wanna be a maid then."
-
>Stare at the cake for a moment.
>"Do maids get to eat that all the time? I wanna be a maid then."
> You stare at the small slice of cake as Rumia grabs the tray. It's tiny, but it looks like it can be split between the three of you fairly well. You haven't had cake in a long while too... It looks so good!
> "Fairy maids are allowed three meals a day, a bed, a room to share with others, and are given a maid outfit, provided they follow the rules and expectations." Sakuya begins. "Meals are held within this room behind me in the morning, evening, and night, and consist of various choices of meat, fruit, and vegetables as well as rice, curry, and ramen, among others. Exceptional performance is rewarded with snacks and desserts, as well as special privileges, while poor performance and misbehaving is punished...sometimes severely. If you would like to learn more and are considering enlistment, please head to the library located in the basement." Sakuya finishes.
> "Ahem." Sakuya coughs. "Now, are you still accompan-"
> "Chief Maid!" A fairy maid shouts from across the hallway. "It's terrible. Reimu left and came back with Marisa and Cirno and the other shrine maiden and this bunny girl and the school teacher! We don't stand a chance!"
> Sakuya opens the door to the good smelling room again. "Mistress, have you finished eating?"
> "Yes. I heard the fairy as well. We should clear this up as soon as possible."
> "Meiling, escort the fairies to wherever the wish to go. Make sure you pick up the young mistress some time along the way."
> The bat girl and Sakuya start to fly to where the fairy maid came from. Meiling walks out of the doors with a sigh.
> "I didn't even get to finish all of my food..."
>_
-
>"Hey, you could finish your food! Sounds like there's so many people that they wouldn't miss you!"
>Is that cake still around, nab it, then go follow the others toward the hubbub. If Rumia has escaped with the cake, just head for the brawl.

>"Hey, you could finish your food! Sounds like there's so many people that they wouldn't miss you!"

> You steal the cake off of Rumia's tray.
> "Hey Daiyousei, That's mine!" Rumia complains as you start following Sakuya and the bat girl.
> Rumia and Lily follow you for a few minutes until you all reach a massive corridor, connecting at least 5 hallways. You spot Cirno taking on a huge amount of grounded fairies by herself as Reimu and the others are pointing at various hallways, telling each other stuff. They haven't noticed Sakuya and the bat girl approaching yet, and those two in turn, haven't noticed your group.
> Rumia begins eating the meat on her tray, seemingly forgetting about the cake.
>_
-
>Nom on the cake. We'll take the front half and give Rumia the back half.
>"Hey miss Bat lady! The door's over there!"
-
>Nom on the cake. We'll take the front half and give Rumia the back half.
> You break the front half of the cake off and eat it, giving the rest to Rumia. She devours it quickly.
>"Hey miss Bat lady! The door's over there!"
> The bat girl turns around with a surprised look on her face.
> "S-Sakuya, I thought you told Meiling to escort them elsewhere!"
> "As did I..." Sakuya says.
> "Remilia, I know you've been kidnapping humans! The poor excuse for a defense force you sent here proves it!" Reimu shouts from the other side of the corridor as she tosses a large field of needles towards Sakuya and the bat girl, who dodge and weave through the center of it like child's play. Unfortunately, your trio is in the path of the needles as well. They're going really fast and it's a pretty dense spread.
>_
-
>Left now! Get around them!
>Then get out of the way in general!
-
>"Hey ! Not us ! We have nothing to do with this ! At least me and Lily..."
>Why would Cirno help Reimu ? Is it to test her strength ?
-
>Daiyousei's specialty is to warp through space or something, right? Are we capable of warping our whole group and the tray with the food (even without any cake left, it's still important!) away from the needles before we're hit (naturally, without stuffing us in a wall or something)?
>If yes, let's try that; if not or unsure, stick to the "get around them" plan.
>What do we know of relations between Cirno and Reimu (pre-Fairy Wars, at least)?
>While we're on the topic of Cirno's relations, did that memory wipe thing also affect her relations with the rest of the Team 9 or are we the only unlucky ones?
-
>"Hey ! Not us ! We have nothing to do with this ! At least me and Lily..."
>Why would Cirno help Reimu ? Is it to test her strength ?
> You shout in panic as the needles close in.
> You ponder why Cirno is helping Reimu. You doubt it's to help the humans. Maybe she's testing her strength.
>Daiyousei's specialty is to warp through space or something, right? Are we capable of warping our whole group and the tray with the food (even without any cake left, it's still important!) away from the needles before we're hit (naturally, without stuffing us in a wall or something)?
>If yes, let's try that; if not or unsure, stick to the "get around them" plan.
>Grabbing hold of Rumia and Lily, the three of you start to fade out just before the needles reach you, and they pass through harmlessly. Your trio begin to re-appear only a tiny bit further to the left than you were before. The food tray is still safe, as Rumia managed to hold onto it. That was still too close. You need to do something like that before they get so close.
>What do we know of relations between Cirno and Reimu (pre-Fairy Wars, at least)?
>While we're on the topic of Cirno's relations, did that memory wipe thing also affect her relations with the rest of the Team 9 or are we the only unlucky ones?
> Reimu fought Cirno barely a minute after beating you back when Misty Lake was covered in a red mist. Ever since then, Cirno has mostly had bad encounters with her, even at parties. These were usually because either Cirno played a prank on her, Reimu wanted to use Cirno for her chilling abilities, or because Reimu found Cirno annoying in general.
> You don't think so. Cirno still remembers Mystia, Rumia and Wriggle, but when it comes to you, she just treats you like a regular fairy.
> "Now Reimu," The bat girl starts, "Me and my sister do eat humans, but we do not kidnap them from the village. We know it goes against the rules."
> "Chief Maid! We need to fly to beat her!" A fairy maid yells from below.
> "And as you can see, these fairies are just here to welcome you, hence why they aren't flying. You all may fly now." The bat girl says.
> The fairy maids take to the air and begin bombarding Cirno with danmaku from all angles. It all closes in tightly on Cirno until there is suddenly a huge amount of blue. The danmaku starts to freeze, rapidly chaining to the next bullet, then the next one, until almost all of the bullets and the fairies who shot them are frozen solid. They shatter a couple of seconds later.
> "Then why have I seen someone going near the village and back to this mansion? It's been happening rarely, but for a few days now." Keine says.
> "Although true, doesn't explain why you would suspect us of kidnapping humans. And I don't believe it was ever wrong for us to ever go near the village." Sakuya mentions.
>_
-
>"Hey, that's not what they're having you do, is it Rumia?"
-
>"Hey, that's not what they're having you do, is it Rumia?"
> "Yea it is, but it's only the ones outside the village, so it's okay." Rumia says
> "Also, why do you even have Rumia living here? It's suspicious." Marisa speaks up.
> "Too suspicious!" Reimu adds.
> "She is here in case Flandre happens to get caught in the sunlight. She would be more useful if she could see in her own darkness however." The bat girl explains.
> "The young mistress has also taken a liking to her. Speaking of which, she is probably awake by now. If you would ex-"
> "No one's going anywhere until we get an explanation for the missing humans!" Reimu interrupts Sakuya.
> "Hey, you two, fight me!" Cirno shouts at the maid and the bat girl. "If I win, I get all your food and stuffs."
> "And what do we get if we win?" Sakuya asks.
> "Uhh..." Cirno stops to wonder.
> "Are you sure it's not the gap youkai?" The bat girl asks. "She can go to the outside world, can she not?"
>_
-
>"Hey! We should have some tea while talking about this!"
-
>
Grab popcorn and have a seat.
>Was Meiling's plate very big ? Will it take a while for her to come ?
>"Rumia, do you have any clues why Cirno doesn't remember me ?
>To Nazgulsei and Purvisei from Daiyoulight: Should we challenge Cirno again ? I mean, i don't know, it's an option, and now we have Plot Armor i guess.
>Why don't we have a spellcard ? Can't we make one ?
-
>To Nazgulsei and Purvisei from Daiyoulight: Should we challenge Cirno again ? I mean, i don't know, it's an option, and now we have Plot Armor i guess.
I'd say not right now. We don't really have a reason nor motivation to attack her. Well, aside from her not remembering us, but still, challenging or attacking her out of the blue seems a little extreme, perhaps a little bit out of character as well... IMO, Dai-chan would probably approach Cirno at some point (At an appropriate time.) and ask why she doesn't remember her, and only attack if Cirno attacks first...
Please remember that Purvis may have a different opinion than mine, too.
-
>Grab popcorn and have a seat.
>Was Meiling's plate very big ? Will it take a while for her to come ?
> You never got to see the inside of where they apparently ate, so you have no clue.
>"Rumia, do you have any clues why Cirno doesn't remember me ?
> "Huh? Cirno doesn't remember you? Why?"
>To Nazgulsei and Purvisei from Daiyoulight: Should we challenge Cirno again ? I mean, i don't know, it's an option, and now we have Plot Armor i guess.
> You ponder challenging Cirno. She did just defeat a large force of fairy maids. Though, they haven't utilized fire bullets to ensure that Cirno doesn't freeze them and catch them off guard.
> Then again, the last time you challenged Cirno, even with help, didn't go well in your favor...Lily probably remembers it too.
>Why don't we have a spellcard ? Can't we make one ?
> The first time you heard of the spell card rules, you thought of making one. However, you eventually gave up on the idea a while before the Red Mist swept over Misty Lake. It's not like you could create a beautiful a pattern and a fitting name for it like Cirno and Lily do...right?
>"Hey! We should have some tea while talking about this!"
> "There's not enough tea for all of us Daiyousei." Rumia tells you with a mouth full of meat.
> "The fairy wants to talk it over while enjoying tea and the human wants to fight over it... Maybe that Hakurei intuition of yours is wrong for once." The bat girl muses.
> "It seems she's getting desperate to solve an incident that humans would donate to her shrine for." Sakuya says.
> "...Fine!" Reimu says angrily. "But I'm watching you all. And if there happens to be no kidnappings while I'm here, then that proves it!"
> "We'll tell you if we here of any while you are here, Reimu." Keine says. The bunny girl nods as well, and they both leave the mansion.
> "I'll help too. I'll go watch Patchy, ~ze!" Marisa hops onto her broom and speeds down one of the hallways.
> The bat girl begins to fly past the three of you, and Reimu follows her closely. Sakuya approaches your trio.
> "Now then, are you still interested in becoming a fairy maid?" She addresses you. "If so, then please follow me to the Library. Otherwise, you may want to leave. The young mistress is definitely looking for Rumia at this time, and she-"
> "I still wanted to show them around the place though." Rumia says.
>_
-
Let's hold off in Cirno fighting right now, more interesting things are happening.
>Let's go to the library, that sounds like an interesting place.

>Let's go to the library, that sounds like an interesting place.
> Your trio follow Sakuya through the same hall Marisa flew through. After a minute of flying, you reach another pair of doors. These are wide open however, and you can see massive amounts of books and bookshelves. There's a lot of open space too, and you haven't even stepped inside to see more.
> "This way." Sakuya says, and heads into the library, making a turn.
> You can see two figures in the distance seemingly chatting at the center of the library.
>_
-
>Approach these figures!
-
>And what about becoming a Fairy Maid ?
>"Rumia, what is that ribbon thing on your head for ? What happens if we remove it ?"
>Also, how are fairies born ?
-
>Take a good look a them, too. Is either of them Marisa or otherwise familiar to us?
>Once we're inside, look around as well. Is there anything other than books and bookshelves in sight?
>Wait, is Lily still following us? Didn't she wanted to go because "It's spring, you know!"?
>Have we ever seen a fairy maid from this mansion outside of it? Because if they can't leave, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to become one while we're searching for fairy kidnappers...
-
>Approach these figures!
>Take a good look a them, too. Is either of them Marisa or otherwise familiar to us?
> You try and see who the figures are, but you just can't tell what they are from this far.
> You decide to approach in order to get a better view. You can now identify the two figures as a woman wearing purple pajamas, and Marisa. You still aren't close enough to hear them though.
>Once we're inside, look around as well. Is there anything other than books and bookshelves in sight?
> This place is huuuge. There's no way it can fit inside the mansion. The bookshelves look like they stretch upwards for a while. Marisa and the pajama woman are sitting at a table; well, Marisa is sitting on the table. You can see Sakuya walking away from the entrance to a corner of the library. You can't see what's there because there's bookshelves in the way. There doesn't seem to be much at all besides books in fact.
>Wait, is Lily still following us? Didn't she wanted to go because "It's spring, you know!"?
> She is. It's not the sweets, or she would've called Rumia and you out on eating it without her, so she must be waiting until Rumia's tour is over.
>Have we ever seen a fairy maid from this mansion outside of it? Because if they can't leave, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to become one while we're searching for fairy kidnappers...
> You've heard of fairy maids being seen outside of this mansion, but rarely at Misty Lake itself.
>"Rumia, what is that ribbon thing on your head for ? What happens if we remove it ?"
> "It's an amulet, but I can't touch it, so I don't know. I still wanna take it off sometimes though." Rumia complains.
>Also, how are fairies born ?
> That's a silly question. Fairies are born from nature! Just like how Lily was probably born from the season of spring.
> Though you still don't know how it actually happens and what it looks like, or the requirements...
>_
-
>"Hi."
-
>"Hi."
> "Hey! It's the fairy who's always with Cirno." Marisa says as she notices you. "You two are always together! Did you come here because Cirno's here?"
> "This is a library. If you cannot control your volume, then leave before it becomes a problem." the pajama lady says to your group. "That goes for you too, Marisa."
>_
-
>Whipser: "Oh, sorry. Hi."
>"Uh, actually I was wondering about why all the faeries are going missing. Are you both witches?"
-
>Try to remember if we've seen Cirno freeze bullets before.
-
>Try to remember if we've seen Cirno freeze bullets before.
>You recall seeing her freezing abilities in action during the Fairy Wars event, due to this power of hers, you and other fairies switched to Fire-Type bullets to avoid being vulnerable, like what happened at the great hall with the Fairy Maids.
>"And about Cirno... it's complicated, miss Black-white, she doesn't seem to remember me anymore ever since the Fairy Wars......"

>Whipser: "Oh, sorry. Hi."
> The pajama girl mutters something to herself.
> "Isn't Star a bit like that too Patchy?" Marisa asks her.
>"Uh, actually I was wondering about why all the faeries are going missing. Are you both witches?"
> "I suppose you could say so." The purple lady says. "And it's been decided that more fairies will be recruited as maids here at the mansion. It's better to make use of them since they're right outside, at least, that's what Sakuya believes in."
> "You guys trina start an army or somethin'?"
>Try to remember if we've seen Cirno freeze bullets before.
>Around the time the Fairy Wars began, Cirno displayed this ability against a couple of fairies who tried to fight her. Many fairies started using enflamed danmaku in order to get past this. Though, the fairy maids don't seem to be capable of this, or at least didn't try it against Cirno if they did know.
>"And about Cirno... it's complicated, miss Black-white, she doesn't seem to remember me anymore ever since the Fairy Wars......"
//I never asked for your help...but sure, it's usually accurate. Remember who's runnin the game though! Shakes cane*

Helping is what makes me happy, so i don`t really mind if people ask me or not for help, i just mind if it`s being good for them or not, besides, i need the EXP to grow my Parsertech Skill Tree so i can become a good parser and make FlandreTale a nice story. :3
And get that cane away from me ! Else i`ll have to bring my own !

>To Otherseis`: What do you think ? Should we become a Fairy Maid ? I`ve been pondering for while now.
-
I'm neutral on the idea. The fact that Patchy is involved makes me wonder what strings are attached.
Right now, I'm mostly here to see if we can bum any cool free things off Patchy.
-
>"Could you do a magic for me?!"
> Patchouli creates a small snowstorm around the table. Lily starts to shoot danmaku at her.

> Patchouli blocks the shots with a gray looking wheel.

>"I dunno, Miss Black-white, Mareesa is it ? Or is it Marisa ? I mean, she is stronger than me and and my friend Lily here combined, and i don`t even have a spellcard."

>You know Marisa. She's Reimu's friend, and someone who Cirno talks about a lot. Usually about how cool she is, especially concerning the master spark.
> You try to keep your voice down as you recall how you've been Cirno's best friend one minute, then the next, a nobody. It's too hard to keep your voice to a whisper though, because you're getting a bit upset.

This way i can get stronger and maybe be able to beat her, i heard Cirno talk about how cool and strong and how you can use this Giant Strong Laser Beam Spellcard before she forgot me, she really looks to you as a rolemodel, can you help me pleaseeeeeeee ? The Purple Lady can also help if she likes...... oh ! I forgot to introduce myself ! I am Daiyousei and this is Lily White, what about your name, Miss Purple ?"
-
>Sniffle.
>"Could you do another magic? Especially if you don't know what happened?"
> "That's enough magic, bother someone else." Pajama girl says.
>Wait..... Daiyouraf is having a idea..... *Insert a Gears spinning inside a Head sound here* bingo !

> "I was the first to use a spell card in battle you know!" Rumia proudly states.
> "Is that so?" Lily questions
> "She's Patchy Knowledge." Marisa says.
> "It's Patchouli, and I didn't even want to give out my name to a fairy..."
> "Lily and Rumia have some, but they're stronger than fairies like you. No offense, but I don't think you can pull it off." Marisa says.
> You can see Sakuya standing in the distance, apparently waiting.
>_
-
>"Oh, right. How do maids work?"
-
>"Aw, but why ? I mean, i think i`m smart enough to think of something, i can even read doing some good effort. It`s ok if you don`t want to help, or if i`m too weak to use one, but if Cirno and Lily are able, then i can get stronger and make one myself !"
>Look towards Sakuya.
>"Miss Maid ! Come here, it`s about the Maid duties !"
>Once we are done here, make mental note for TRAINING ! And think of the stuff we like to have ideas for spellcard design.
-
>"Umm, Miss Marisa, why did you and Reimu take Cirno along with you?"
-
>"Aw, but why ? I mean, i think i`m smart enough to think of something, i can even read doing some good effort. It`s ok if you don`t want to help, or if i`m too weak to use one, but if Cirno and Lily are able, then i can get stronger and make one myself !"
> "It's not really about how smart you are, I mean, Cirno of all people have some. So does Rumia, and she can't even count to ten. You would also still need to make a beautiful and strong pattern." Marisa explains.
> "Hey!"
> "Well," Lily starts, "Daiyousei and I did a few patterns like spell cards together before, but we didn't name them..."
>"Umm, Miss Marisa, why did you and Reimu take Cirno along with you?"
> "Oh, Reimu says that Cirno was playing in the lake, then suddenly tried to fight her when she made it to the mansion. Reimu managed to trick her into dealing with the small fries by convincing her that we were the ones who were going to help her take over the mansion."
>Look towards Sakuya.
>"Miss Maid ! Come here, it`s about the Maid duties !"
>"Oh, right. How do maids work?"
> "I was waiting for you to finish speaking to these two." Sakuya says to you. "If you're ready, we can go and talk to Koakuma and she will explain things. I would prefer if you speak with her soon though, as I still have work to do."
>_
-
>"If that`s it then, i actually have a small area to start at, Cirno has a spellcard where she just pops ice bullets out of nowhere randomly after all."
>"Okay ! Wait.... who`s Koa-pu-ma ?"
>Do we have some paper/parchment/canvas and ink/pencils/pens at home ?
-
//I should've just responded immediately, but I'm busy trying to get good scores in Amplitude. So fun... .-.
>"If that`s it then, i actually have a small area to start at, Cirno has a spellcard where she just pops ice bullets out of nowhere randomly after all."
>"Well, it's a start."
>"Okay ! Wait.... who`s Koa-pu-ma ?"
> "I think she said co-co ma?" Rumia says.
> "No, she's talking about Kourindou!" Lily confidently states.
> "You guys are the only loud ones in here! Be quiet!" Patchy shouts.
> "She's in charge of recruiting fairies. After her, they go to me, and if they meet the requirements, they're hired.
>Do we have some paper/parchment/canvas and ink/pencils/pens at home ?
> You have a few writing utensils at home, as well as stuff to write on. They weren't stolen though! You've asked the school teacher, Keine, for some before.
>_
-
>"What's the catch?"
-
>"What's the catch?"
> "Catch? Hm, they're usually sold when we mention meals and sweets... Well, you may be occasionally tasked with distracting intruders, but fairies are immortal anyways...You aren't allowed to leave past the mansion's gates without permission unless you're one of the high ranking maids. Even then, you may be punished for being out after curfew. Those are the few that come to mind. If you do not like the work, you're allowed to turn in your outfit and I will escort you out." Sakuya says the last part with a smile. It's a bit unsettling... "If you ever wish to return to work though, you must go through the basic process again."
>_
-
>"That is nice and all, but with the lack of freedom, it gets a bit tricky, i`ll have to ponder even more with that at stake. I told you i wasn`t that dumb."
>"One more thing, Miss Patchouli, how can the inside be this much bigger than the outside ? Isn`t this not supposed to happen ?"
-
>"That is nice and all, but with the lack of freedom, it gets a bit tricky, i`ll have to ponder even more with that at stake. I told you i wasn`t that dumb."
> "Very well."
>"One more thing, Miss Patchouli, how can the inside be this much bigger than the outside ? Isn`t this not supposed to happen ?"
> "There is someone here who likes to play with time and space." Patchouli says cryptically.
> "She's right there though..." You hear Marisa say under her breath.
>_
-
>Thinking: Welp, I doubt Rumia or Lily have those abilities.
And the Marisa isn't part of the mansion anyway.
So that cuts out those three, leaving either Patchouli or Sakuya.
Look at Patchouli and Sakuya until either divulges more information.

> After taking a while to eliminate the wrong choices like some sort of test, you deduce that Sakuya must be the timespace wizard haxor person.
> "What would you know about the dangers of time and space?" Sakuya questions.
>"Hold on, so it was you who kept transporting Cirno outside when she attempted to sneak in !"
> "Of course. She has no interest in being a fairy maid, and she is also of no use to me or my mistresses. Actually, the same could be said about you two... Ahem, You are welcome to return when Rumia has free time or when you've reconsidered the offer. For now, we really must be getting back to work."
> Sakuya reaches into her pocket.
>_
-
>Make a gesture to stop her."Wait ! You only need to ask you know. C`mon Lily, let`s go."
>"Bye MIss Marisa, Bye Rumia, Bye Miss Patchouli, Bye Miss Sakuya !"
>Leave the library, go to great hall, exit through door.
>Fly to our house.
-
>
Get hopelessly lost on the way.
-
>Make a gesture to stop her."Wait ! You only need to ask you know. C`mon Lily, let`s go."
>"Bye MIss Marisa, Bye Rumia, Bye Miss Patchouli, Bye Miss Sakuya !"
> You throw your hands out and shout for her to wait. She pauses to listen to what you have to say. After you tell everyone bye, Sakuya takes out her watch.
> "Alright, now, don't you believe we've kept Flandre waiting for too long Rumia?"
> "Yea..." Click Sakuya and Rumia vanish in front of your eyes.
>Leave the library, go to great hall, exit through door.
> You leave with Lily the way you came, making it to the great hall. Cirno is now sitting on the ground, apparently counting something with her fingers.
> "Yeah! 9 rocks. If they win I'll give them 9 rocks. Wait, rocks didn't work last time. Even fairies don't want them..." Cirno says, before going back to thinking.
>Get hopelessly lost on the way.
> You get terribly lost, coming across two lunatics throwing knives and shooting fireballs while shouting nonsense. They bump into Sakuya and Patchouli respectively and are killed violently.
>Fly to our house.
> You and Lily leave the mansion and part ways. The sun is still in the sky, but it's almost sunset. There's more fairies around here now than there were in the morning.
> You fly to your treehouse.
>_
-
>Okay, time to make a breakthrough and design our spellcard.
>Enter and examine treehouse.
>What kind of fairy exactly are we ?
>Acquire the paper and the drawing materials.
>Daiyouraf: Request that others give their ideas for spellcards.
>Examine this weird camera that says "ParserEyes" then remove it.
-
>Okay, time to make a breakthrough and design our spellcard.
>Enter and examine treehouse.
> You fly up to the entrance and head into your treehouse.
> It's your home, as well as the usual place Team ⑨ meets up at. There are 4 blankets on the ground from a few days ago; yours, Rumia's, Wriggle's, and Mystia's. Cirno's blanket is folded up in the corner... There are three drawings on the walls. One drawing is a very bad drawing of you and Cirno, while there is a better looking, but still child-like one of the same kind next to it. The last is a large painting with pictures of your team's various members over the original characters' heads. It's awesome, as all of you have agreed. There are also miscellaneous object's the team has found or stolen. You still may need beds.
>What kind of fairy exactly are we ?
> You are a...greater fairy? You aren't really sure. You don't think other fairies can warp, so maybe your a warping fairy. Is that a thing?
> You have an identity crisis as you try to find out what you exist as. WHO IS DAIYOUSEI!?!?
>Acquire the paper and the drawing materials.
> You rummage through the stuff lying around and find a pencil. It takes you a bit to find a clean sheet of paper.
>Examine this weird camera that says "ParserEyes" then remove it.
> You try to remove the Parser's vision, but it's always just out of reach...

>Brainstorm Mode Activate !
>Which kinds of danmaku are we able to use, other than Kunais and Fireballs ?
-
>Given our specialty is teleporting, could we perhaps make a card that is heavy on teleporting to initiate some Zwee-fighting and thus make fairly intricate patterns out of very simple danmaku?
-
>Are we capable of teleporting danmaku? If so, how far, and how much at a time? If it's viable, we could possibly use this as an idea as well...
-
>Brainstorm Mode Activate !
>Which kinds of danmaku are we able to use, other than Kunais and Fireballs ?
> You don't have much else... Besides the basic danmaku concepts like streaming bullets and spirals and lasers. Wait, you don't even have lasers! This is going to be harder than you thought. Asking others how they use danmaku may help this.
>Given our specialty is teleporting, could we perhaps make a card that is heavy on teleporting to initiate some Zwee-fighting and thus make fairly intricate patterns out of very simple danmaku?
> You ponder utilizing teleportation while firing in order to make patterns with what you've got. You can't fire for a short while after warping, but spell cards increase your defensive and offensive capabilities, so it wouldn't be too much a problem.
>Are we capable of teleporting danmaku? If so, how far, and how much at a time? If it's viable, we could possibly use this as an idea as well...
> Teleporting danmaku!? You've never wondered such a thing before. Could such a thing even be possible?
> Well... you've warped Rumia and Lily with you before, and nothing bad happened like you three getting fused or something horrible. It's worth a shot. Pun unintentional.
>_
-
>Hmm, Let`s try Purvisei`s idea, fire a small danmaku pellet outside and use our Warp powers to try and get it to change places and directions.
-
>Hmm, Let`s try Purvisei`s idea, fire a small danmaku pellet outside and use our Warp powers to try and get it to change places and directions.
> You fly outside, but still near your house, and survey the area. Okay, shoot a shot at one tree, then warp it to hit a different one. You fire a small shot towards one of the trees. You turn to face another tree, and warp near it. Darn, you're supposed to warp the shot, not yourself!
> You try again, this time focusing on the bullet instead of how you normally do it. When you try to warp it, it fades out, then back in near the other tree. Yes! It worked! The bullet stops for a second in midair, completely still, before it starts to move towards the tree. The whole delay thing still applies to it too, but at least you've figured it out now. You're gonna be the first one to teleport danmaku. A reverend loose-a-, er... a rev-e... Rev-o-lu-shun-ary. Right, a revolutionary!
>_
-
>"Crush the bourgeoisie!"
>Let's work into making this a good solid pattern now. Probably entirely static. Hmm...maybe make it look like...blooming flowers, yeah! We'll let 1000 flowers bloom! Well, maybe not 1000, but like a couple, overlapping. The truck to get through it will be to keep to the sides, and move side to side as the flowers are formed.

Well, maybe not 1000, but like a couple, overlapping. The truck to get through it will be to keep to the sides, and move side to side as the flowers are formed.
> You plan out how the spell card will go already, imagining lots of blooming flowers and a mysterious unknown object going through them. The flower part could probably be done with practice, but that- wait, what was that other thing? You've never learned about it or even heard or i5 or something like that before. You stop imagining. Things would probably start getting weird if you kept that up.
>_
-
>*trick to get through it. After all, spellcards aren't supposed to be unbeatable, just tricky.
>Either way, put some work in on this idea.
-
>Now for the bullets to compose the spellcard, we have access to pellets, lemons, tiny spheres, Kunais, fireballs, regular spheres, and 1 or 2 more that i can`t remember. How shall we structure it ? The spellcard will behave with us warping a great number of bullets that will stay still for a while until moving again, so maybe place the "flower blooms" in different locations every time, this should make it harder.
-
>Wait. Can we even warp more than one bullet at a time? I mean, just because it works with one or two doesn't mean it would work with, let's say, 30 or more...
>How much energy does warping take out of us. Will warping a large amount of danmaku, assuming we are able to do so, tucker us out quickly?
-
>In theory the spellcard should let us get away with pouring in more than we normally could, since it's setting up stuff ahead of time.

> You ponder how many danmaku you've ever fired in your life. Wait, how could you forget the ones that redirect themselves once. They're really easy to stream, but it could help add pressure, keep them moving. This along with filling the area with blooming flowers, and it should be enough for a spell card. Now, to name it and practice it for perfectness. Though, you've only succeeded in warping a single bullet. You haven't tried multiple at once yet.
//Sigh...ninja'd by Nazgul...
>Wait. Can we even warp more than one bullet at a time? I mean, just because it works with one or two doesn't mean it would work with, let's say, 30 or more...
> You haven't tried multiple yet, but if you just have to focus on said bullet you want to warp, it should be possible to focus on a few and do the same thing. Warping even a couple to different spots seems impossible though. You would need to be even smarter than someone like Keine to figure out how to focus on groups of shots at different places, then move them all to other places.
>How much energy does warping take out of us. Will warping a large amount of danmaku, assuming we are able to do so, tucker us out quickly?
> Warping is trivial, and doesn't take much energy at all. It's only downsides are the blatantly obvious sign that you're warping, and whatever was warped, not being able to do anything for a second. Now with the problem of warping multiple things...
>In theory the spellcard should let us get away with pouring in more than we normally could, since it's setting up stuff ahead of time.
> The spell card alone should be able to solve it, since you should get stronger when using it. Cirno definitely does. That's probably how she lasted long against Reimu and Marisa.
>_
-
>What if we make some kind of Core Danmaku that explodes and releases the bullets ? It would make it way easier to warp it that focusing on all the different bullets at once. Maybe we should ask someone that knows how to do one like that later.
>We will also need a name for the Spellcard, Flower Sign/Plant Sign/Nature Sign: *Insert Idea here*
-
>What if we make some kind of Core Danmaku that explodes and releases the bullets ? It would make it way easier to warp it that focusing on all the different bullets at once. Maybe we should ask someone that knows how to do one like that later.
>We will also need a name for the Spellcard, Flower Sign/Plant Sign/Nature Sign: *Insert Idea here*
> Danmaku that shoots danmaku. You're new to the idea. Cirno doesn't do that, but if she does, you've never seen it. The other memebers of team (9) could possibly know how to do it since you haven't really seen them fight often.
>_
-
>First let`s try the what Purvisei thought of, try shooting multiple danmaku and focusing on warping them.
>Once we finish designing our spellcard, how do we create it exactly, or do we just think of it and it activates ?
>Oh yea, right, swipe the Parser`s Yukkiri Reimu and Marisa.
-
>First let`s try the what Purvisei thought of, try shooting multiple danmaku and focusing on warping them.
> You shoot off a small burst of kunai into the distance, than focus on the shots. You manage to warp 3 of them. Focusing on so many if harder than you thought. It's not that tiring though.
>Once we finish designing our spellcard, how do we create it exactly, or do we just think of it and it activates ?
> As far as you know, you just need the details of your spell card on a piece of paper. After that, you just have to hold it up and say that you're using it. Everything else should fall into place afterwards.
>Oh yea, right, swipe the Parser`s Yukkiri Reimu and Marisa.
>You steal the GM's Yukkuri. He is no longer taking it easy.
>_
-
>
Yes ! Now i can pet and hug and take care of these adorable beings.Still want a Yukkuri Ran tho
>Keep trying, see if we can get more to warp and become the Blink Maid.
>Note details of Spellcard in paper, but don`t put anything about the name yet.
>Let`s try to find Mystia ! Maybe she has some ideas.
-
>Keep trying, see if we can get more to warp and become the Blink Maid.
> You keep trying to move more at once. After many, many tries, you get the hang of it, sort of. 10 shots at a time should be enough to start off with.
> You've taken a while doing all of this. It's already sunset.
>Note details of Spellcard in paper, but don`t put anything about the name yet.
> You return to your treehouse and start writing down the information on your spell card, on paper. Warping danmaku...blooming flower patterns... danmaku that shoots danmaku...
>Let`s try to find Mystia ! Maybe she has some ideas.
> You pocket the pencil and paper for later use, and take to the skies for Mystia.
> Looking around Misty Lake, she doesn't seem to be here. There are fairies fighting each other, and others playing hide and seek, as well as tag.
>_
-
>Where does she usually hangout then ?
>Do we recognize any of those fairies ? Is the Three Fairies of Light there too ?
-
>Where does she usually hangout then ?
> Mystia is usually around the human village in her stand at nighttime. It'll be night soon, so there's a chance she's there.
> During the day however, there is no particular place she frequents.
>Do we recognize any of those fairies ? Is the Three Fairies of Light there too ?
> They're just nameless fairies. With your only lead being their apparent friendship with Cirno, their group name, and the fact that there are three of them, it's hard to tell if the Three Fairies of Light are here or not. There are groups of fairies playing, but no trios in particular.
>_
-
>Can we go to the Human Village without causing some commotion ? I mean, we`re a fairy, soo......
>Head to the outskirts of the Human Village, while having fun with our new warping bullets technique.
-
>Can we go to the Human Village without causing some commotion ? I mean, we`re a fairy, soo......
> You've been there before a lot, attending the school there. It was really awkward though, as you were one of the only few fairies going there, so you've stopped doing so. You are tolerated at the human village due to not having a history of causing trouble (tolerated instead of welcome because of Team (9)'s history...)
>Head to the outskirts of the Human Village, while having fun with our new warping bullets technique.
> You begin flying to the area around the Human Village, toying with your new trick.
> You reach the road and spot Mystia's stand on the side of it. From the looks of it, no one's there. Then again, you are flying above it.
>_
-
>Land in front of the stand.
>What does her stand look like?
>See if we can spot Mystia from this angle.
>Look around.
-
>Land in front of the stand.
>What does her stand look like?
> You land in front of Mystia's stand.
> The stand is like a small wooden house on wheels. It has these paper thingies attached to the roof, covering most of the top half of the inside. Moving past the paper would have you between the paper thingies and the table Mystia serves the food on. Last time you checked, behind the table seemed to be enough space to be considered a room. There was also a door back there.
> There are signs on the front and sides of the stand that say "Closed".
>See if we can spot Mystia from this angle.
>Look around.
> You try to see through the small gaps the paper leaves. You can make out Mystia placing her hat on the ground. Her back is facing you.
> You look around. The sun is almost completely down now. The road you are on is completely empty, save for you and Mystia's stand. The Human Village doesn't look too far from here.
>_
-
>"Hi Mystia!"
-
>"Hi Mystia!"
> Mystia jumps like she's been hit by electricity.
> "! W-When did-" She turns around to see you. "D-Daiyousei? You can't just sneak in here, especially when it's closed."
>_
-
>"Oops, sorry!"
-
>"Oops, sorry!"
> "It's alright. Could you wait outside for a few seconds? I need to change into my uniform. And uh, keep an eye out for anyone else too, please?"
>_
-
>"Sure thing !"
>Proceed to take the Lookout role.
-
>"Sure thing !"
>Proceed to take the Lookout role.
> "Okay." You hear Mystia say as you turn around and survey the area.
> Near the Human Village, you spot the rabbit girl from Reimu's group in the mansion. She's just walking around the edge of the village though, so she probably won't come here. Aside from her, there's no one else remotely nearby.
>_
-
>What do we know of the rabbits ?
>Have we tried to pet one or mofumofuing their ears ?
>Keep looking, then follow Mystia to the town.
-
>What do we know of the rabbits ?
>Back at the mansion was the first time you saw one, and she is that same woman. Keine talked about Eientei and that there are rabbits there in one of her lessons. You know that the rabbits pound mocha most of the time and are apparently really, really soft and comfortable.
>Have we tried to pet one or mofumofuing their ears ?
> You've never gotten close enough to one to do so.
>Keep looking, then follow Mystia to the town.
> You keep a look out. Mystia doesn't seem to be going anywhere yet.
> "Almost done." Mystia says from inside the stand.
> You hear a sound. As if something fell next to you, but you don't see anything new around.
>_
-
>Take a quick glance at were we heard the sound.
>"Strange, i think i heard something fall, but i can't find anything."
-
>Take a quick glance at were we heard the sound.
>"Strange, i think i heard something fall, but i can't find anything."
> You glance at the ground to your side. Nothing except the occasional falling leaves, twigs, and the road itself.
> "No one's out there right Daiyousei?" Mystia asks.
> A falling leaf stops in midair at the spot next to you. The world practically stands still as you stare at the leaf. Mystia's quiet too. The only sounds you hear now is the sound of wind...
>_
-
>Huh ?!? What happened ? Is this the Miss Maid's doing ?
>"Huh ?!? Miss Sakuya ! Is that you ? Please stop this !"
>Beware of preemptive strikes.
-
>Huh ?!? What happened ? Is this the Miss Maid's doing ?
>"Huh ?!? Miss Sakuya ! Is that you ? Please stop this !"
>There is no response.
> "T-...The leaf...?" Mystia says quietly.
>Beware of preemptive strikes.
> You brace for possible attacks, but instead, see the leaf start to move backwards; away from you and the stand and towards the bushes on the other side of the road.
>_
-
>Huh... Maybe this is some kind of weird wind trick? Or is there something there...? Hmm...
>Toss a random rock at the leaf! That's the best way to check if something is there, or if it's just a trick of the wind, right?
-
>Huh... Maybe this is some kind of weird wind trick? Or is there something there...? Hmm...
>Toss a random rock at the leaf! That's the best way to check if something is there, or if it's just a trick of the wind, right?
> Suspicious of the leaf, you swiftly grab a rock and chuck it at it.
> THUNK* The rock recoils off of nothing and the leaf falls down to the ground. An orange haired fairy wearing a dress of similar color comes into view on the ground. You must've hit her head with that rock, because she is out cold. She's surprisingly not dead.
>_
-
>"Oh whoops!"
>Go check on her!
-
>Does this fairy look familiar to us?
>After checking on her, let's check out those bushes. Maybe there's someone else hiding there?
>..."surprisingly"? What kind of abuse can fairies usually take without dying?
-
>"Oh whoops!"
>Go check on her!
> "Whoops indeed. At least it wasn't one of the kappa..." Mystia says.
> You turn around and enter the stand. Mystia is currently putting on the last pieces of her uniform, The blue apron and hat thing.
> "You came early because you were hungry right?" She asks.
>Does this fairy look familiar to us?
> Yea. There's no mistaking that much orange on a fairy. She's one of the three you saw Cirno fighting during the Fairy Wars.
>..."surprisingly"? What kind of abuse can fairies usually take without dying?
> A small rock to the head with enough force is usually enough to kill a normal fairy. Even humans could do it if they tried.
>After checking on her, let's check out those bushes. Maybe there's someone else hiding there?
> You head over to the bushes and rummage through them. You're met with a pair of blue eyes and black hair, before you're hit with a small burst of danmaku, knocking you off your feet.
> "Now!" she yells, flying next to you to lift the orange fairy.
> A third, blonde haired fairy in white clothing flies to help carry the orange fairy, and the duo start flying away.
> "What was that all about?" Mystia questions as you get to your feet.
>_
-
>"Bluuuh..."
>Gather self.
>"They were up to something..."
-
>"Bluuuh..."
>Gather self.
> You regain your composition.
>"They were up to something..."
> "Yea...perverts"
-
>"But I whacked one with a rock!"

As far a rescheduling goes, I am not planning to duel at all right now. I have other ideas if words can't tell us anything.

I'm also curious.

I don't think this is a great idea. Frankly, fighting Cirno is not likely to go anywhere. She has more battle experience, numerous spellcards, more power. I mean, even Marisa told us she was almost beaten by her. We're simply outclassed, even when teaming together with Lily White, and some spellcards cobbled together in, like, a week with no prior experience aren't going to get us far.
As for Purvis' ideas... well, I guess we'll see? :P
-

rock orange fairy before going after Cirno? I mean, sure, she was sneaking around and, if Cirno's right, intending to steal food, but that probably didn't warrant knocking her out with a rock.

> You gasp, and a look of worry overtakes your face.
>Have we ever been on Reimu's bad side before? Have we ever seen what Reimu does to people on her bad side?
> The worst you've ever gotten was the first time you saw her, and she killed you to get through. You've tried greatly to stay away from her bad side, seeing the things she does to Cirno. So far, it's been working. You know that Reimu won't usually attack for no reason, unless they're in her way or they're annoying her. The punishment ranges from a smack with her stick to needles thrown faster than you could blink. Though there was one time Cirno became the cause of the shrine collapsing. She was tied up and presumably tortured. You ran away before you could see anything. In short, she's scary.
>Try to visualize how much trouble the two of us will be in if Reimu ever finds out we were involved.
>Hope Cirno didn't make too big of a mess...
> You look at what Cirno's done to the place. The table in the middle of the room is broken into pieces, while the cabinets in the other room are open, like a thief went by. There's a few fallen down.
> "Stealing from my shrine and destroying it in the process!?" Reimu yells as she enters the shrine. Oh crap! "Alright then. Since you fairies don't learn anything from being killed, I'll try something else..." Cirno is knocked out by Reimu, and before you could call her name, you're knocked out as well.
> You awaken in a dark room. Your hands and feet hurt. Y-You're tied up! You look forward, and see Cirno being boiled in a large pot, watched by Marisa. She tries to call out your name through the tape covering her mouth. You look to the sides and panic as you see Reimu approaching with-
> "Dai-chan?" Cirno asks, waving her hand in front of your face. "Hey, what's wrong?"
Screw it.
>"Aww, i can't leave a mess like this... it's wrong to do this, let me put them back."
>Unmess the mess we've done.
> Cirno steps outside as you clean the shrine. The lighting isn't that great, but you do the best you can. The shrine is restored to what it looked like when you got here, except for that broken table. You should do something about it.

>Hmmmm, uhhh, guys help please. I`m out of ideas.
>"So what do we do about the broken table ?"
-
//Hmmmm, uhhh, guys help please. I`m out of ideas.
>"So what do we do about the broken table ?"
> Cirno is outside, so you end up peeking out and asking her. You stop yourself as you see Reimu herself talking to Cirno.
> "Hm?" She looks over to you. "So you are."
> "Y-Yeah. Do you know where they are?" Cirno asks Reimu.

-
>Reimu's gonna shoot us when she sees that table, isn't she?
-
>Oh, um, i guess we gotta tell her the truth.
>"Um, Miss Reimu, ehh, please don`t get mad, but while we were searching for the fairies here, we, um, broke your table...... I`m sorry ! Please don`t strap me us on pillars to punish us ! I promise we will get you a new one !"

>Wait, Reimu's table was old, right? Do we know of any places where we can just take an old table, like a junkyard or something?

Hmm... choices choices...
Perhaps if we got a really good axe, we could knock down a tree and take a large slice...
The Scarlet Devil Mansion might have some to spare (or perhaps a tree that they want removed...)
Or we could apprentice ourselves to a carpenter...
Marisa might have stolen one, we could swap if for some odds and ends...
Myouren's not too far from here, perhaps they have a table they can give up?...

> "Wait, so she's not here?" Kogasa slumps.
>What time is it ?
> You don't have a clock or anything like that with you, but judging from the sky, it's still nighttime. If you get the table to Reimu soon and go home immediately afterwards, you could probably still get some sleep. Otherwise, you'll be tired come the next day.

> SUPRISE! (dogpile her this instant I say!)
> You leap towards the woman and only manage to move her back a bit, before being bounced back yourself. She's way to tall to go down from just you. Not to mention her chest is probably bigger than Meiling's, so the impact was miniscule. At least you woke her up a bit more.

Wait, will our chest size stay like this for eternity ? Can't we at least reach Letty or Meiling Size ?

-
>"Where does she usually go then ?"
> "Geez. I get why Kogasa's here everyday, but why do you two suddenly care for where Sanae is? You aren't trying to pull a prank on her are you?" The woman glares at you and Cirno.

> You didn't see if she left the mansion or not.
>Wait, will our chest size stay like this for eternity ? Can't we at least reach Letty or Meiling Size ?
> You should take pride in your size. The only fairy who rivals you is Lily... a little bigger wouldn't hurt though...right?

> "Faith!" she answers confidently.

>"You see, we need a table, because the red shrine maiden, that's Reimu, had one get broke. And since she's missing a table, you guys must have a spare one."

>Ponder what we can do.
> You could carry the table with just Cirno's help, though this would be slow. You could ask for help, but who would help, and could they be trusted? You could warp the table all the way there. A hugely risky tactic would be for Cirno to freeze the table in a block of ice so you could just roll it, but then it could break. Even so, it would take a while to unthaw, especially since the sun won't be out for a while. So many choices, but what would work most efficiently?
>Make sure Cirno isn't breaking the table by sitting on it.
> You make sure that Cirno isn't breaking the table. She's pretty small and light, so the table isn't being pressured much, even for the table's size. It seems to be able to support Cirno's weight fine.

> If you knew where Wriggle is. Unfortunately, Wriggle's home is a mystery, and even worse, you haven't seen her for a while now.
> She goes by...forests, if anything. Although rare, you've found her in her own time around places like the forest of magic, the sunflower place, and even the bamboo forest. She does seem to often visit Mystia along the path near the Human Village.
>Wait. Who will watch the table if we leave?
> You don't even have someone to watch the table for you. This is a difficult situation.
Finding Buggzy's not a bad idea if we do need to leave. I wanna see where this goes before we do, though.
> "Can't you lend me your big-ness or something? Pleeeease?"
> "What?" The tall woman looks at you strangely. "No. It doesn't work like that. I don't know how to help you anymore. Just, wear some geta or something and let me be."

> "I'm not good with helping fairies. That's more Sanae's expertise. Go ask her if you need help." She says with an annoyed tone in her voice.

> You can hear a conversation going, as well as someone walking up the steps where the three of you are.
>Hey, does a fairy keep growing during it's whole life or are we stuck like this forever ?
> Fairies don't grow like humans, so you presume that you may be stuck like this if nothing can be done. Then again, you are pretty tall in the first place...

>So how will we ever get onto Letty standards ? Hmm....

> "Yes." You hear the shrine maiden say. "At least, not with danmaku all the time."
> "Okay." Lily responds, before she sees you. "Hey Daiyousei!" She waves.

> You wave back to Lily as the two get to the top of the steps.
> "You're back already?" The tall lady says. "Good, these fairies wanted help with something and I'm too exhausted for this."
> She closes the shrine door again.
> "Marisa's watching them, so I got to come home, but I guess I have time to help. What do you need?" The girl asks, crouching down with a smile on her face. She's not as intimidating as Reimu, but she's still a shrine maiden...

> The girl is suddenly tackled and knocked down by someone at a high speed, and both of them start tumbling down the stairs. When they stop rolling and sit up, you identify the assailant as Kogasa.
> Lily is examining the table's stickers.

-
> "Yeah, but she's super big!"
-
> "Yeah, but she's super big!"
> You shout to the shrine maiden at the bottom of the steps.
> She whacks Kogasa on the head hard with her stick and flies back up the steps to you, leaving the poor umbrella girl to cry and hold her head.
> "Ahem. That's just how lady Kanako is. You're made of magic while she's made of faith, to put it simply." The shrine maiden rubs her head. "I guess you would need a lot of magic to change how you look. I mean, Kanako and Suwako share faith somewhat, but they're completely different sizes."
> "Actually, I wanted to try something. Hey, promise you won't go away or anything for a bit okay?" The girl requests.
>_
-
> "If you promise to make me big! The super big purple lady said we could take this table to the angry shrine maiden's house, and that'll make it easier."
-
> "If you promise to make me big! The super big purple lady said we could take this table to the angry shrine maiden's house, and that'll make it easier."
> "N-Nevermind, I guess I'll try it on someone else later. Not to mention I'd get in trouble if it got out of hand... So, you're taking this table to Reimu? I can help." The shrine maiden walks over to the table, smiling a bit more when she see's the stickers.
> "So can I!" Lily adds.
>_
-
> "Huh? Wait, what were you going to do?"
-
> "Huh? Wait, what were you going to do?"
> "Just a miracle." She says, lifting the table. Lily gets on the opposite side and lifts as well, while Cirno stays sitting atop the table. "I was going to try and make you big with a miracle like you want, but it would've taken really long to prepare. And there would be a lot of destruction if it actually worked. Not to mention I wouldn't know how to reverse it... Anyways, I'm Kochiya Sanae, the wind priestess of this shrine. Sorry for not introducing myself earlier."

> "I'm not really sure if it would work or not though... I usually focus on changing the weather with my miracles, but other things have been possible. And thanks, that's really nice to hear~"
> Kogasa floats up the steps.
> "Hey, that hurt a lot, Sanae." She whines, still rubbing her head.
> "Serves you right for tackling me out of nowhere. You're annoying."
> "But you were surprised right?" Kogasa beams.
> Sanae hesitates, before focusing back on the table.
> "Are we taking this to Reimu or not?"

> "Sure, sure, yeah! But please, you gotta do the miracle thing!"
-
> "Sure, sure, yeah! But please, you gotta do the miracle thing!"

-
> "I triple double promise I'll behave. That's, like, eight promises!"
> "Okay. Er..." Sanae sets the table down and points her stick at you.
> You feel something from within, like, near your chest. It's really small and barely noticeable.
> The ground moves away a tiny bit.

> You get the same feeling as before, but it's really "there" this time. The ground starts moving away, and it continues to do so for a while.
> When it stops going away, you realize that you've gotten big. You're bigger than the big lady, and as big as the shrine too. Though you aren't larger than tall trees, you could probably still pick them up.
> "T-That's enough. There's no way I'm making you any bigger." Sanae hesitates. N-Now, we're delivering the table to Reimu, then y-you'll go back to normal, okay?" Sanae looks worried.

> Thanks to the mermaid; Whattheduckahime Wakasagihime, you've found out that the Scarlet Devil Mansion is probably the only place with a use for fairies. That, along with the massive amount of fairy maids, has brought on the thought that they're responsible for the declining amount of fairies at Misty Lake. Conversations with the mansion's residents have only further hardened this thought.

> "Reimu's just trying to treat everyone the same." Sanae says. "We're friends, but you saw how she just was to me and you..."
> Stick our tongue out at her after she leaves.
> You hesitantly stick your turn out towards Reimu, and Cirno and Lily join in.
> Thankfully, she doesn't turn around one last time to see you...
>Turn to Kogasa.
>"Hey, it's the umbrella lady."
> "Why are you still here anyways?" Sanae asks.
> "It's okay to tag along, right?" Kogasa says.
> Sanae doesn't answer.
>Examine Umbrella Lady.
> You examine Kogasa. She has a lot of blue on. Her hair is teal, her clothes are teal, even one of her eyes is teal. She has heterowhatsitia, you forgot the word, but it means two different colored eyes. Her other eye is red, the same color as the eye her umbrella has.
> Right now, she's sitting next to Sanae on a bench. She's holding her umbrella still.
>Steal her bigness.
> You steal Kogasa's bigness, making her as small as Cirno, while making you tall enough to reach the red-blue mismatching lady's height.
>Wait, why isn't Wriggle here? I mean, if the rest of Team ⑨ heard about what happened to us, then surely Wriggle must've heard about this as well... right?
> You haven't heard from Wriggle for a while actually, since the last time the four of you, minus Cirno, met up.
>Do we feel any different from normal since waking up?
> You still have that feeling in your chest from when Sanae used a miracle on you, but it doesn't hurt.
> You're also well rested.
> You would like some sweets soon, especially because Cirno kept talking about them earlier.

Whoops, fixed.

>"You seemed a little down when you talked about Reimu and Miss Marisa..."
> "Really? I wasn't upset at all. Reimu and Marisa are great friends. It's funny seeing how Marisa annoys her most of the time, only to get away free."
> "Yea, there's a lot of people who annoy Reimu, haha."

> "Now that I think about it, Suika can grow large too, but Reimu doesn't forbid it, since it's sorta her ability. If you can find a way to grow by yourself, then maybe Reimu would be okay with it. She said that giving powers to fairies would be bad, but no ones really giving it to you if you're doing it yourself, right?"

FEI I think it's a reasonable bet we can just wish ourselves big now whenever we want, if what Sanny says about the chest feeling is true. Not about to test this indoors, though.

> You've grown again! You absolutely cannot contain your excitement, and squeal with delight. This is too good to be true. You must still be asleep!

>If we don't know, now seems like a good time as ever to test it.
>Warp (Or at least try to warp.) out of harm's way if we can't dodge by ducking.

>Duck!
> You duck, and the amulets fly over you, crashing into the bamboo trees behind you.
> The rest of the amulets fly towards the rest of your group. Sanae manages to dodge a couple before Cirno freezes almost all of them. The trail of freezing Danmaku almost reaches Reimu, but she moves out of the way in time.
> "You're trying to start another incident, aren't you!" Reimu shouts, closing in on Sanae.

Oh shit, what have i done ? Now i must solve this somehow.

> You shout for Reimu to hear you and focus on your chest again, hoping to be...not big now.
> You shrink to your regular size.

Remember, fairies aren't very smart.
I don't know a whole lot of fanon about Daiyousei specifically, but I think doing/saying stupid things is in character for a fairy.
Just saying.

Just saying.
But in this game's canon, Dai-chan is still smarter than the average fairy.
Besides, if we get on her bad side, that whole table-fetch would've been for nothing.
Remember the visual of us being tied up and Cirno being boiled alive?
-
Remember, fairies aren't very smart.

She`s smarter than the average fairy. :D
-
She`s smarter than the average fairy. :D
Precisely what I mean when I say "I don't know a whole lot of fanon about Daiyousei specifically."
All right, I'm voting against calling out/insulting/patronizing Reimu.
-
My thoughts are smart doesn't mean immune to passion or short attention span or wandering thoughts and the like. That is, she has a better memory and more processing power than the average faerie, but is still ultimately a faerie. And right now she's in a charged situation so forethought may not be the first thing to come to mind. Right now, she (I presume, given our reactions), wants Reimu to stop beating up Sanae, and the easiest and fastest way to do this is to try to shout some sense into her and distract her attention in general.
I mean, if yalls don't wanna roll with that, that's cool. Just I don't think it's out of character or improper at all.
-
I'm good for shouting or not or whatever as long as we behave with our physical actions. We triple double promised we would behave, so we have to behave. That's the law.
-
I`m favoring shouting, as said we are a fairy and we`re smart as a fairy, and we are as Cirno stated before "Nice and doesn`t want to fight anyone.", but backing down wouldn`t be right, even Stupidly OP Shrine Maidens that maintain order need to have their actions straightened up sometimes.

>"Well, I just focus on the weird feeling in my chest and... It makes me bigger or... un-bigger..."

>Why...
>Are we saying this...
>To the one person...
>That we don't want to get on her bad side...?
> You start to shout words at Reimu but realize who you're actually shouting to and stop yourself. She would've killed you in a flash already if she was going for you...
> Reimu raises her stick towards Sanae, but before she can do anything, she is socked in the face by the big purple lady, and launched into the air. She seriously came out of nowhere...
> "You're being far too serious, Reimu." The purple lady starts. "Sanae just made a mistake. And it's not like this fairy's going to cause an incident. She's still just a fairy, who anyone could likely defeat easily."
> That was, harsh...
> Reimu stops in midair and wipes her face. She glares at you for a minute.
> "Then keep Sanae from using her powers wildly or the punishment won't be as lenient." Reimu says, turning back towards the forest. "I swear I have to put up with way too much..."
>Aid Sanae.
>"You okay ?"
> You and the purple lady help Sanae out of the dirt. She rubs her eyes and sniffles, before holding her chest.
> "Y-Yea, I'm okay. Just a little bit sore... I'm sorry for calling you lady Kanako." Sanae says.
> "Don't be. At least you weren't hurt badly. Reimu's been too hard on everyone every time something happens." The purple woman says, rubbing her own fist.
> As Reimu walks away, a weird looking hole appears next to her, and a woman with a fan emerges. She starts floating next to Reimu, seemingly talking to her.
>_
-
>"Thank you, Miss Purple."
-
>"Thank you, Miss Purple."

-
>Nod attentively.
-
>Nod attentively.
> "We've told Sanae not to do anything that seems like it would cause an incident. So, my question is, can a fairy like you even be trusted with something like this and not go power crazy?"
> Sanae gulps.
> "Of course! Dai-chan doesn't like fighting, but she's good at it. Not as good as me, but okay!" Cirno says proudly.
>_
-
>"I promised I'd be good! And I was, wasn't I? I think I was...I didn't even try to fight back!"
-
>"I promised I'd be good! And I was, wasn't I? I think I was...I didn't even try to fight back!"
> The purple lady looks at you for a while.
> "I-It's true." Mystia adds. "She's gotten us out of danger more times than Cirno has gotten us in danger."
> "Hey!" Cirno shouts.
> "Yeah." Lily says. "Daiyousei's really kind too."
> "And she might be a maid at the mansion as well." Rumia mentions.
> "Well, you do seem to have witnesses. I guess you won't be punished."
> Sanae breathes a sigh of relief.
> Kogasa jumps out from a bush and regroups with the rest of you. Was she hiding the whole time?

-
>"It's important to have responsitability for things like this. It's how math works."

>"It's important to have responsitability for things like this. It's how math works."
>Sage nod.
>"And I promised!"
> "That's not how math works..." Sanae says to herself.
> The purple haired lady waves goodbye, and disappears.
> "How does she do that?" Rumia asks.
> "It's a bit too complicated for you." Sanae replies.
>_
-
> "Bye, Miss Purple!"
-
>"She's just done being here. I do that all the time."
>Sage nod.
-
> "Bye, Miss Purple!"
>"She's just done being here. I do that all the time."
>Sage nod.
> "Sure..." Sanae half-heartedly agrees.
> You give your goodbyes.
> Reimu's still talking to the woman at the entrance of the forest. It's going to be awkward passing by her when you leave...
>_
-
>Let's get a better look at who she's talking to before proceeding.
>"Hey, you guys all ready to go?"
-
>Let's get a better look at who she's talking to before proceeding.
> It's a lady with a white dress, but there's purple with it too. She has long blonde hair and a she's wearing a white cap.
> She's holding an umbrella in one hand, and a fan in her other.
>"Hey, you guys all ready to go?"
> "Yeah." Mystia says. "We came here to see if you were alright, so since you are, we don't have anything else to do here."

-
>Quietly: "Once we get away from that shrine maiden, I'll give you all a ride back to the lake!"

-
>Quietly: "Once we get away from that shrine maiden, I'll give you all a ride back to the lake!"

>Examine Blonde Umbrella Lady`s Chest, how does it compare with the people we know ? :V
>Sneaky Peaky leave without drawing too much attention.
> You sneakily leave through the bamboo forest, except not really because Reimu and the other umbrella lady were on the path.
> "-Fairly innocent." The woman chuckles as your group passes by. Reimu sighs. "Maybe you need a vacation..." The woman and Reimu continue to talk. Or at least, the woman continues to talk to Reimu.
> You don't like this forest a lot. It's too easy to get lost, and you think that you are now...
>_
-
>Continue forward for a little ways, until we put some good distance away from Reimu.
-
>Continue forward for a little ways, until we put some good distance away from Reimu.

-
>Let Sanae take the lead.
> Use our Warp Shots on Reimu and the other Lady just for fun.
>Advance !
-
>Let Sanae take the lead.
> Sanae starts looking around for a path to follow.
> Use our Warp Shots on Reimu and the other Lady just for fun.
> You fall into a weird hole... There's eyes everywhere. You're scared out of your mind. GAP END
>Advance !
> Sanae eventually finds the road and your group starts to follow it.
> You arrive back at the clearing..? Reimu and the lady are gone though.
> "What? Were we going the wrong way?" Sanae says in surprise.
>_
-
> "Wait, I know!"
> Focus on getting big again. If it's possible, try to be even bigger than the last time, so we have an even-better view over the top of the bamboo. If that isn't possible, though, then regular big height is still good enough.

>"Well, I guess I can do two things, now!"
> "Yea, that is pretty neat."
> "Do you think you could make the danmaku really big too?" Rumia asks.
>_
-

-

>Hmm... They have a point...
>"Huh, I never really thought of it like that..."
>Hang on, maybe the bigness works both ways? Maybe we can make ourselves smaller and harder to hit too?
> You think about making yourself smaller instead. Sanae used a miracle to make you big, then another to make you small. If you can get big on your own, then you should be able to get small too!
> You nod instinctively.
>Not that we'd do this. It'd totally be cheating.
> But being too small to hit would be against the rules...wait, is it? Just to be safe, you wouldn't do such a thing in battle until you know.
>And if we're smaller, then Cirno-chan can give us a ride!
> You fantasize about such a possibility. Being carried by Cirno-chan! That would be soo amazing. This has to work. It HAS to!
>"Hmm... Let me try something."
>Try focusing on that feeling on our chest, but think about getting smaller, not bigger.

> "Well, I'm for it. There's nothing bad with an extra person that's good." Cirno says.
> "Yea, more is better." Rumia chimes.
>_
-
>"I think we need Wriggle's vote to seal the deal, but we can let her in this once, don't you think?"
-
>"I think we need Wriggle's vote to seal the deal, but we can let her in this once, don't you think?"
> "Yes. But I'm sure Wriggle would be fine with another member." Mystia says.
> "So what is it Cirno?" Rumia asks.
> "Yea, she can join. But we need to do another one when we find Wriggle." Cirno states.
> The four of you break the huddle.
>_
-
>"So all we need to do is find her, get her vote, and we're all set!"
>We last saw her at the last team 9 meeting, right?
>Do we know where Wriggle usually hangs out?
-
>"So all we need to do is find her, get her vote, and we're all set!"
> "Mhm."
>We last saw her at the last team 9 meeting, right?
> Yes, a couple of days ago.
>Do we know where Wriggle usually hangs out?
> The only places that come to mind are Misty Lake and the road Mystia's sets her stand up at near the Human Village, since that's where the rest of the group can be found most of the time.
> Otherwise, you don't know where she usually goes.

-
> Gesture to Cirno.
> "Okay, go ahead and tell her."
-
> Gesture to Cirno.
> "Okay, go ahead and tell her."
> "Me? Okay."
> Cirno walks up to Lily. "So, we thought about it for a while, and we'll let you join our team."
> "Thank yo-"
> "If you can pass the test..." Cirno sports an evil grin.
> "There isn't actually a test." Mystia says. "But we do have to ask our last member if you can join, since she isn't here right now. I'm sure she'll agree though, so welcome to team (9)." Mystia smiles.
> "But I wanted her to do a test."
-
> "You could still give her a test. Maybe about places?"
-
>"Do you want a test, Lily ? I bet it will be fun !"
-
> "You could still give her a test. Maybe about places?"
> "I was going to tell her to prank Reimu!" Cirno says.
>"Do you want a test, Lily ? I bet it will be fun !"
> "Uh, I don't want to prank Reimu. After what she did to Sanae..." Lily says.
> "She could do something else." Rumia recommends.
>_
-
>"Okay. I got it."
>"Lily! This is your test! Go find us something good for lunch."
-
>"Okay. I got it."
>"Lily! This is your test! Go find us something good for lunch."
> "Eh?" Lily questions.
> "Yea, I', hungry too." Rumia says.
> "Okay!" Lily flies into the air, then looks around for a while, before deciding on going to the Human Village.
> "So which one of us gets to hold you next Daiyousei?" Mystia asks.
>_
-
>Hmm... we could save the best Cirno-chan for last, but then again she might complain why she's last, because she's not only the leader, but our best friend as well...
>Then again, if we had Cirno-chan hold us first, then she'll give us a shorter ride then she would if we saved her for last...
>Who to choose...? Who to choose...?
-
>Hmm... we could save the best Cirno-chan for last, but then again she might complain why she's last, because she's not only the leader, but our best friend as well...
>Then again, if we had Cirno-chan hold us first, then she'll give us a shorter ride then she would if we saved her for last...
>Who to choose...? Who to choose...?
> Having Cirno hold you last would probably last longer and being the last one, the others would build up to it. But Cirno might not like having to go last...
> On the other hand, if Cirno holds you first, it would probably be shorter, and not as enjoyable, considering the others would be anxious for their turn.
>_
-
>"Mmmm...eeny, meeny, miney, Mystia!"
>Descend toward her.
-
>"Mmmm...eeny, meeny, miney, Mystia!"
> Cirno looks towards the ground. "Aw man."
> "I'll just wait my turn then..." Rumia says.
> "Yay!" Mystia cheers.
>Descend toward her.
> You fly down into Mystia's hands.
> "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." Mystia smiles.
> Mystia starts singing softly to you.
>_
-
>Is this singing making us drowsy?
>If so, do not allow ourselves to fall asleep! We need to be awake for when Cirno-chan gives us a ride!
-
>Is this singing making us drowsy?
>If so, do not allow ourselves to fall asleep! We need to be awake for when Cirno-chan gives us a ride!
> It's a really soothing voice. Man, Mystia's good. It makes you just want to lie down and
> No, you're not going to fall asleep! Not while Cirno still needs her turn.
> "Where do we start searching?" Rumia asks.
> Mystia starts to rock you back and forth slowly...
>_
-
>Resist sleepytime! I mean, It's broad daylight still, we can't go to sleep now!
>We also still need to be awake for Cirno's turn.
>Think of mental images that will keep us awake.
-
>Resist sleepytime! I mean, It's broad daylight still, we can't go to sleep now!
>We also still need to be awake for Cirno's turn.
> You must not go to sleep. Not while it's still around morning! Not while Cirno hasn't taken her turn yet!
>Think of mental images that will keep us awake.
> You need something to keep you awake.......
> You visualize Wriggle. Oh, you have a few things to tell her. Like what happened to you and how you can be big or small. And the thing between Kogasa and Sanae. And Lily...
> It's taking your mind off from falling asleep.
> Rumia is looking really sleepy.
>_
-
> What about Cirno? Is she looking sleepy?
-
> What about Cirno? Is she looking sleepy?
> Cirno looks only a little bit tired, yawning occasionally.
>_
-
> "That's a good question. Maybe where she lives?"
-
> "That's a good question. Maybe where she lives?"
> Mystia stops singing.
> "Oh, that would be a great start, but I don't know where she lives..."
> "Me neither." Rumia murmurs.
> "She's a bug, so she lives in the forest right?" Cirno questions.
> "Hey, don't just assume things based on who someone is. Like me, I don't live in a nest!" Mystia says.
>_
-
> "Aww, you didn't need to stop, Mystia."
-
> "Aww, you didn't need to stop, Mystia."
> "Oh, I'm sorry Daiyousei." Mystia says, before continuing her soothing tunes.
> In seconds, you notice that Rumia's already asleep on the ground.
> "When do I get my turn?" Cirno asks.
>_
-
>"Um...in a bit! Let's go to the forest and find Wriggle."
-
>"Um...in a bit! Let's go to the forest and find Wriggle."
> "You agree with her?" Mystia questions. "Oh, my bad." Mystia continues singing."
> "Hey Rumia, wake up." Cirno tries shaking Rumia awake.
> "Mm, I'm awake..." Rumia yawns.
>_
-
> Is Rumia actually waking up, or is she just trying to shoo Cirno away?
-
> Is Rumia actually waking up, or is she just trying to shoo Cirno away?
> She's awake and standing, but she probably won't last long with Mystia singing. Especially if she's not doing anything.
>_
-
> "I'm not sure. But I'm not sure where else to start looking."
-
> "I'm not sure. But I'm not sure where else to start looking."
> "Let's get going then." Cirno says.
> Your group flies towards the Forest of Magic. By the time you get there, Mystia has stopped singing. Remarkably, no one fell asleep again.
> "Oi, it's the ice fairy and her friends ze~" You hear a familiar voice call from behind.
>_
-
> Oh, crap! Quick, shrink even further so she won't see us!
-
> Oh, crap! Quick, shrink even further so she won't see us!
> You try to shrink down more, but it doesn't work.
> "Hi Marisa!" Cirno says.
> "What are you guys doing?" She asks.
> "We're looking for Wriggle. Have you seen her?"
> "No, not yet. I just got back from Reimu's place."
> It doesn't look like she noticed you yet.
>_
-
> Are we still enclosed in Mystia's hands?
-
> Are we still enclosed in Mystia's hands?
> You are sitting in Mystia's hands, but you are easily visible to Marisa.
>Thankfully, she is turned to the side, talking to Cirno.
>_
-
> Jump off of Mystia's hand toward Marisa and return to normal size.
> "Surprise!"
-
> Jump off of Mystia's hand toward Marisa and return to normal size.
> "Surprise!"
> You jump towards Marisa and grow in midair, crashing into her and sending her to the ground, as You did to Sanae before.
> "Eh?" Marisa says. "Where did you come from?"
> "Is it my turn yet?" Cirno asks.
>_
-
> Flop to the ground on top of Marisa.
> "I was here all the time!"
-
> Flop to the ground on top of Marisa.
> "I was here all the time!"
> You fall flat onto Marisa with a thud.
> "Ah. Well, you sure fooled me, ze~. But you fairies shouldn't pull pranks... Without being prepared to be pranked yourself!" Marisa suddenly moves her hands and starts to tickle you.
> "Now who's laughin'?" Marisa says triumphantly.
> "Still Daiyousei!" Cirno says.
>_
-
>Quickly tickle Marisa back !
>Huh, late but, examine Marisa and all.
>After tickles, warp behind her.
>"Hey, Miss Bla- i mean Miss Marisa, check this out ! I learned something new !"
>Do the warping danmaku trick.
-
>Quickly tickle Marisa back !
> You muster up enough energy to resist the tickling long enough to return the assault back to Marisa. Now the tables have turned!
> "I-I give, I give!" Marisa says between laughter.
>Huh, late but, examine Marisa and all.
> Marisa Kirisame, the black-white magician. She's wearing a black dress with white at few areas, most notably, a section of the front, appearing as if she had an apron on. She has blonde hair with a single tied braid at her side, covered by the black hat she almost always wears, which makes her resemble a witch.
> Is Marisa really an enemy? Sure she beat you up alongside Reimu when you first "met", but most of your encounters with her and the details Cirno gives about her were nice...
> You are currently atop Marisa, tickling her.
>After tickles, warp behind her.
> You stop tickling Marisa and warp behind her, barely avoiding warping into Cirno.
> "Oh yea, forgot you could do that." Marisa says as she stands up.
>"Hey, Miss Bla- i mean Miss Marisa, check this out ! I learned something new !"
>Do the warping danmaku trick.
> As usual, you shoot danmaku towards Marisa.
> You warp it before it reaches her, but Marisa also dodges the shot prematurely, crashing right into it as it returns a few feet to the side.
> Mystia, Rumia, and Cirno start laughing.
> "H-Hey, what the heck?"
> "You were supposed to stand still Marisa." Cirno says.
>_
-
>"Oh no ! I didn't mean to hit you, i'm sorry !"
>Bow while saying that.
>"But you got to admit, that is pretty cool right ? That's what i'll use for my spellcard !"
-
>"Oh no ! I didn't mean to hit you, i'm sorry !"
>Bow while saying that.
>"But you got to admit, that is pretty cool right ? That's what i'll use for my spellcard !"
> "Uh, yeah, it's pretty cool. You don't see teleporting attacks very often..."
> "Is it my turn Daiyousei?" Rumia asks. "Mystia had you during the fly here, so it should be my turn while we're searching for Wriggle."
> "Hey, it's going to be my turn next. I'm the one that suggested we start looking here!" Cirno argues.
>_
-
>"Guys, stop arguing ! Everyone will have their turn !"
>Turn to Marisa.
>"And i can also do this now !"
>Shrink to become Miniking Mini-Daiyousei.
-
>"Guys, stop arguing ! Everyone will have their turn !"
>Turn to Marisa.
>"And i can also do this now !"
>Shrink to become Miniking Mini-Daiyousei.
> You shrink to the size of a doll.
> Marisa immedietly picks you up and starts inspecting your hair and clothes.
> "Huh, what are you doing?" Cirno asks.
> "Don't you get it? This is obviously Suika in disguise. She can move around like that and shrink, so it has to be her. Or it could be that inchling... Anyways, didn't Reimu tell you to watch the shrine?" Marisa asks you, dangling you upside down by the leg.
> "That's Daiyousei. The oni girl wears bloomers, doesn't she? And where are her horns?"
> "Huh.....It must all be part of the disguise then ze~!"
>_
-
>"But I'm not Suika! I'm 100% Daiyousei! The only reason I can do this is because Green-Haired Reim- Er... I mean Sanae gave me bigness!"
-
>Oh, and smallness too!
-
>"But I'm not Suika! I'm 100% Daiyousei! The only reason I can do this is because Green-Haired Reim- Er... I mean Sanae gave me bigness!"
>Oh, and smallness too!
> "That doesn't sound very convincing..." Marisa says.
> "You can ask Sanae! She'll tell you what happened."
> "Okay then, let's go ask her. I'm not doing anything else right now. If I'm right and you are Suika, because I know you are, then I'll take your sake gourd for a week. If you're right, then I'll let you go."
> "And give us snacks!" Cirno adds
> "Sure."
> "But we have to look for Wriggle!" Mystia interjects.
> "Don't worry, I'll be quick."
>_
-
>"W-Wait! Why do I have to come with you!?! Can't you just ask her yourself and find me later?"
>If she threatens to, or begins to fly off with us, threaten to enter max bigness become giant in her arms if she doesn't put us down.
>Of course, we can probably just warp out of her grasp whenever we want... BUT WHERE'S THE FUN IN THAT!?!
-
> On the other hand, if we see Sanae again, maybe she can make us even bigger and even smaller...
-
>"W-Wait! Why do I have to come with you!?! Can't you just ask her yourself and find me later?"
> "Nu uh, you'll just run and hide if I let you go now."
> "But we really need to find Wriggle." Mystia pleads.
> "I said it'll only take a minute." Marisa says, hopping onto her broom.
>If she threatens to, or begins to fly off with us, threaten to enter max bigness become giant in her arms if she doesn't put us down.
> "I'm calling your bluff right there Suika. You could kill me, and Reimu won't be happy with you at all, so there's no way you'd go through with it."
> On the other hand, if we see Sanae again, maybe she can make us even bigger and even smaller...
> You think about visiting Sanae again for more bigness and smallness. Based on last time hurting much more than you could even stand however, you'll want to do this as little as possible, if she even agrees to it. It's still the chance to get even larger and smaller though, maybe fit in someone's pockets and carry houses...
>Of course, we can probably just warp out of her grasp whenever we want... BUT WHERE'S THE FUN IN THAT!?!
> You don't always need to use your power. Just like how Sakuya only stops time when she actually wants to.
>_
-
>"Wait! I can't be an oni! I got no horns! The numbers don't lie!"
-
>"This is your last warning, stop, or you won't like it!"
>If she doesn't listen, warp her broom out from under her and somewhere nearby. Try our best not to get it stuck in a solid object.
>If that doesn't work, start growing to our normal size, but try to do it as slow as possible.
-
>"Wait! I can't be an oni! I got no horns! The numbers don't lie!"
> "I've seen that disguise before!"
>"This is your last war-"
> Marisa blasts off, leaving your group in the dust.
> Cirno starts to follow you, and so does Rumia before she's grabbed by Mystia. There's no way Cirno's going to catch up though.
>If she doesn't listen, warp her broom out from under her and somewhere nearby. Try our best not to get it stuck in a solid object.
> You warp Marisa's broom just a bit lower than her, and it falls towards the ground below.
> "W-What!?" Marisa shouts, letting go of you and trying to reach her broom in vain.
> The two of you make an arc, continuing to go upwards until you start to slowly lose altitude. That soon changes as you fall towards the ground at an increasing speed.
> "C-Come on, come on!" Marisa balances herself facing the ground and pulls out her mini-hakkero.
>_
-
>Try to warp the mini-hakkero.
>If that fails, warp out of the way of the inevitable Master Spark.
-
>Can we see our group from here, or are we already too far away?
-
>Can we see our group from here, or are we already too far away?
> Marisa's speed on her broom is nothing to laugh at. However, since you reacted quickly in stopping her, you're close enough to the forest to see your group and shout if you're loud enough.
> Cirno's just reaching the area where you warped Marisa's broom.
>Try to warp the mini-hakkero.
> You warp the mini-hakkero out of Marisa's hands.
> "WHAT THE HELL!?" Marisa shouts at you. "Wait, I can still fly!" Marisa says, before slowing her fall ever so slightly and gradually. "Crap, it's not enough!"
> The two of you are nearing the ground. You'll likely hit it in a few seconds, but there still looks like enough time to at least brace for impact.
>_
-
>Is momentum conserved when we warp?
>If not, warp to the ground, preferably somewhat far from Marisa, and closer to Cirno.
>If momentum is conserved, use our wings to fly and stop ourselves midair.
>If we can't slow our descent or stop in midair using our wings, then use them to glide laterally in Cirno's direction and slow our velocity that way, I mean, we're still small, so a few seconds to Marisa would be longer to us, right? Is that how math works?
-
>Where'd we warp the Mini-Hakkero to?
-
>Where'd we warp the Mini-Hakkero to?
> It's back near where you warped the broom. It's already hit the ground, but hasn't broken. Marisa's hat is also floating down further away.
>Is momentum conserved when we warp?
> Yes, momentum is conserved. This is especially evident when you warp danmaku, as it pauses for a second as everything you warp does, before returning to it's speed.
>If momentum is conserved, use our wings to fly and stop ourselves midair.
> You start flying to stop your fall. Thanks to your size and your speed, you're able to stop a way's before crashing into the ground.
> Marisa falls to the ground at a slowish speed, still hard enough to make a sound and takes a few seconds to start getting up. She checks her arms and legs.
> "N-Nothing's broken. Good."
> Cirno is almost to you. You could probably talk from here.
>_
-
> "Ah! I'm sorry!"
> Warp Marisa's hat back on her head.
-
> "Ah! I'm sorry!"
> Warp Marisa's hat back on her head.
> You fly over to Marisa's hat and warp it back to her head.
> "Still, what the heck was that for?" Marisa asks.
> "We said, huff, she was Daiyousei." Cirno breathlessly tells Marisa. "Not Suika."
> "Okay. Didn't have to try and kill me for it. I'm gonna go get my stuff. See you later..." Marisa says, heading back to where her broom and hakkero landed.
> Cirno is still trying to catch her breath.
>_
-
>"Already ?!? Aww, but i have so much to tell you and ask, can't you stay a bit longer ?"
-
>"Like where all the faeries around the lake are going!"
-
>"Already ?!? Aww, but i have so much to tell you and ask, can't you stay a bit longer ?"
>"Like where all the faeries around the lake are going!"
> "Uh, I guess so. You do seem more interesting than back in the library. Lemee get my stuff first, then we can go back to the others." Marisa stops.
> "Actually, you wanna have a battle? The whole thing at the SDM was a letdown because there wasn't anyone to fight. Come on, I'll take on all of you at once ze~"
> "Yeah! Let's hurry back. I wanna fight Marisa for real this time!" Cirno cheers.
>_
-
>"But I don't even have any spell cards!"
-
>"But I don't even have any spell cards!"
> "Didn't you say that you were going to use that teleporting thing in a spellcard?" Marisa asks.
> "Hey, Lily's here!" Cirno says, pointing to the air at the fairy wandering around with two bags in her hands.
>_
-
>"Fight's over, Lily's here!"
>Move to greet the spring faerie.
-
>"Fight's over, Lily's here!"
> "We weren't even close to starting yet." Marisa complains.
>Move to greet the spring faerie.
> You fly up to Lily along with Cirno and Marisa.
> "I was looking for you guys." Lily says. "I got the food! Hey, where's Mystia and Rumia?"

-
>"They got left behind back there, let's rejoin them !"

-
>Hmm... Let's name brainstorm while we're at it!

-
>Um... What did out spellcard idea look like again?
> You recall your idea for the spellcard...
> It was originally planned for you to shoot out a bunch of bullets and teleport them to form blooming flowers, but there would be way too many bullets to warp. Instead, you learned how to use familiars. The new process would have the familiars go out, but right before they explode, you warp them to different locations, where they will stop for a second, then burst into the patterns of blooming flowers.
> You also further expanded this by adding in your streaming bullets, so the enemy couldn't stay at a single spot. But that is all you've thought for the spellcard.
>Hmm... Let's name brainstorm while we're at it!
> A name for a spellcard themed around causing it's pattern to become a group of blooming flowers... There's the simple and expected way where you could just name it blooming flowers or something, but you could be more creative...
>_
-
//Hmm... Warping and flowers... How does the name "Warped Perception ~ Deceptive Nature" sound to you guys?
-
//Um, i'll try to see if i can make a name for it, also give it a try guys !
//Soo........... maybe try a Sign as the first part ? It will make the name a little more simple.. how about Flora ? Flora Sign - Deceptive Nature. I was thinking about "Thorns of the Woods" before, but......
-
//There's always "Something Sign ~ Insert Name Here"
-
Bloom Sign - Petals of Disaster
-
//There's always "Something Sign ~ Insert Name Here"
//We Daiyousei-mindpeople are from EoSD, so i guess it would make sense for us to have it like that, but i really don't mind how it stays, as long as it makes sense and satisfies everyone.
-
Petal Sign - Flowers for Algernon
-
Petal Sign - Flowers for Algernon
I doubt that Daiyousei would know that story.
I haven't read it myself, either, but I know it a bit.
-
//"Untitled Sign ~ This"
-
//Naming spellcards is unexpectedly serious business.
Warped Perception: Deceptive Nature.
Flora Sign: Deceptive Nature.
Petal Sign: Flowers for Algernon.
Geez, you guys are good at naming. I would've came up with something like Warp Sign: Bloom. Maybe I'm just not thinking hard enough.
They do sometimes have different names for different difficulties though.
-
//Should we make a poll?
-
//I dunno, maybe, i'm already happy with someone saying i had a good idea. ^^ (Self-esteem UP !)
-
//There's only 4-5 people who are in this quest, and some don't come often or just don't really care for what the spell card is named. I'm sure you guys can come to an agreement.
I personally like No gm opinion here. Maybe after it's decided,
[/i][/size] because it fits with Daiyousei and her attack, but don't you dare let me influence your decision or I'll feel horrible about myself.

//The troll is strong in this one.
-
I think something like Deceptive Nature would work a flower pattern combined with warping bullets, of course.
Are we more focused on a flower pattern, though, or warping bullets? That should decide whether it's a Flora Sign or Warped Perception.
-
//I agree with keeping the "Deceptive Nature" part. Now we just need to figure out the first part of the name.
-
//The troll is strong in this one.
:P
I personally like Warped Perception ~ Deceptive Nature
[/i][/size] because it fits with Daiyousei and her attack, but don't you dare let me influence your decision or I'll feel horrible about myself.
I like the name a lot, but you'll probably make another spell card with more focus on warping.
-
What is the spell card going to be, exactly?

There was planning about the spell card at certain moments of the entire quest, and this sums up what most of it was around.

I' m out of stuff to ask for this moment so..

-
>"Uhh, it's hard to get a name down, did you guys have this problem ? I got like 3 options to choose from...."

>Ponder HARDER !

I' m out of stuff to ask for this moment so..
>How is Marisa chest size compared to us ? ?3?
> As your mind wonders, you accidentally glance towards Marisa's chest.
> Whoa... Marisa's chest is almost like a fairy's, like Cirno's. She's just a bit past being flat.
> "Shouldn't we get to searching for Wriggle now?" Mystia says.
> "Hey, she's that firefly youkai, right?" Marisa asks. "Doesn't that mean her butt glows?"
> "It does!" Rumia cheers.
> "You've never seen it before, Marisa? We have to show you!" Cirno chimes.

Right, I'm rolling a dice.
The dice says: Warped Perception: Deceptive Nature.
-
I guess that's Nazgul and Purvis for Warped Perception ~ Deceptive Nature
Anyone still for Flora Sign: Deceptive Nature?
-
I'm a guy that really has no issue with that, Warped Perception ~ Deceptive Nature it is ! Although it'll take some time for us to get the name down as a fairy.

> "Eh? No one's battling yet. We should find Wriggle first."
> "Misty's right." Cirno says. "What if Wriggle wants to fight too?"
>_
-
>"Also we got lunch!"
-
>"But maybe we should find Wriggle first before eating ?"
>How long would it take for us to finish our spellcard ? And can we do that now ?
-
>"Also we got lunch!"
> As you sat this, Lily holds up her bags.
>"But maybe we should find Wriggle first before eating ?"
> "Yeah, I bet Wriggle would want to eat something too." Rumia adds.
>"But maybe we should find Wriggle first before eating ?"
>How long would it take for us to finish our spellcard ? And can we do that now ?
> You think it would take a few minutes, not too long.
> If you tried to do it now, your friends, at least some of them, would likely be upset that you're not helping them find Wriggle. You would also need to get to the sky or a clearer place or not be able to see most of your danmaku, due to the trees.

-
>"I guess we can go find Wriggle first, it wouldn`t be nice to eat without her ! And we can also ask about Lily joining us !"
> Your group and Marisa start to search the Forest of Magic for Wriggle. Only a bit after just a minute, Rumia claims to have found her.

-
>"Really ? Let`s take a look guys !"
>Go to where Rumia is and look.
-
>"Really ? Let`s take a look guys !"
>Go to where Rumia is and look.
> Rumia points to a couple of bushes, and sure enough, Wriggle is sleeping here.
> "Was she here the entire time?" Cirno asks.
> "I don't think so. I haven't seen her recently. Or at least I didn't look..." Marisa says.
> "You sure you don't sleep in a nest, Mystia?" Rumia asks.
> "I don't! And maybe this isn't her home. There's nothing that shows it's her home..."

Hit the parser with another parser. Maybe that will clear his head and have him not confuse me again.
>"First things first guys. Hey, Wriggle, you awake ?"
>Prod her with something.
-
>Hit the parser with another parser. Maybe that will clear his head and have him not confuse me again.
> You attack the parser with another parser. Unfortunately, this just makes the quest even more confusing. Now Daiyousei is somehow a shrine maiden and Cirno is a god like the Aki sisters.
>"First things first guys. Hey, Wriggle, you awake ?"
>Prod her with something.
> You poke Wriggle with a small twig. You could've picked up something bigger if you yourself were bigger.
> "H-Huh?" Wriggle opens her eyes and speaks drowsily. "Oh, you guys are here. W-Wait, why?"
> "You were missing for a while, and we were worried." Mystia says.
> "Oh, sorry. I was lost, sorta..."
>_
-
>"Lost? What were you looking for?"
-
>"Lost? What were you looking for?"
> "I got stuck in that sunflower place..." Wriggle gets up out of the bushes.
> "So the bug lives in bushes..." Marisa smirks.
> "No, I don't!"
> "See? She doesn't have to live in bushes and I don't have to live in a nest."
> "But I said sleep..." Rumia whispers.
> "Then where do you live? We wanna know." Lily asks.
> "Uh, I live... Wha- D-Daiyousei! What happened to you!?"
>_
-
>Oh, right, we're still tiny.
>"Oh, I can make myself bigger or smaller now! Pretty neat, huh?"
>Become normal-sized and shrink again to demonstrate.
-
>"Want some lunch?"
-
>Oh, right, we're still tiny.
>"Oh, I can make myself bigger or smaller now! Pretty neat, huh?"
>Become normal-sized and shrink again to demonstrate.
> You regrow and allow Wriggle to view you, before you shrink again.
> "Before you ask, Dai-chan's gonna let me hold her next!" Cirno says.
> "I don't need to hold her. I have insects for that~"
> "That sounds pretty lonely." Marisa says.
> "It's not!"
>"Want some lunch?"
> "Oh, yes please. What did you bring?"
> "I have sandwiches. There's uh... Uh..." Lily looks into the bags. "Like, 4 or 5?"
> "Lemee see." Cirno takes the bags. "...There's................6 sandwiches!"
>_
-
>Claim a sandwich, it's dinnertime!
-
>Claim a sandwich, it's dinnertime!
> You reach into the bag and pull out a sandwhich. Wriggle, Rumia, Cirno and Mystia do so as well.
> Lily looks into the bags. "Aw, there was only four."
> "What?" Cirno questions. "But, I thought I saw six?"
> "Well, you did your part." Mystia tells Lily. "Oh, Wriggle. We need to ask you something."
>_
-
>Take a look at Marisa, maybe she stole some !
>" Yea, so um, Lily wants to join our team, everyone else has agreed to let her join, but we still needed to ask you, what do you think ?"
-
>"She even passed the test and found lunch. And brought it back!"
-
>Take a look at Marisa, maybe she stole some !
> You glance over to Marisa. Your gaze meets hers, and she backs a tiny bit away from you. You can't tell if she has any of the sandwiches or not.
>" Yea, so um, Lily wants to join our team, everyone else has agreed to let her join, but we still needed to ask you, what do you think ?"
> "Oh. What's she good at? Besides spreading spr-"
> "I know a lot of places." Lily says confidently.
> "Okay, but I can use insects for that. You guys just never asked..." Wriggle says, taking a bite out of the sandwich.
>"She even passed the test and found lunch. And brought it back!"
> "Hm... Wriggle considers the offer.
> Lily looks on in suspense.
>_
-
>Tension rises......
>"Soooo...........?"
>Look at our companions and Marisa to see how they`re doing.
-
>Tension rises......
> Daiyousei has entered Super High Tension!
>"Soooo...........?"
>Look at our companions and Marisa to see how they`re doing.
> Cirno-chan isn't doing anything.
> Rumia is finishing up her sandwich.
> Wriggle is thinking about her decision.
> Lily is waiting for Wriggle's choice.
> Mystia is breaking her sandwich in half.
> Marisa is staring at you again.
> "Um... She hasn't been with us for as long as we've been with each other. But I guess that can be overlooked, since she really wants to join... I'll agree to it."
>"Yes!" Lily cheers.
>_
-
>"YAY ! Now we have six members ! Now let` s eat !"
>Split our sandwich in three pieces and share them with Lily and Marisa.

-
>"YAY ! Now we have six members ! Now let` s eat !"
>Split our sandwich in three pieces and share them with Lily and Marisa.
>"I wish we had more so we could all eat the same amount.."
> You split your sandwich in three pieces, giving the larger pieces to Lily and Marisa.
> "Oh, thanks. Saves me the trouble of stealing it." Marisa casually states.
> "Uh, I was going to share mine." Mystia says. "But I guess since you're much smaller, it's fairer..."
>Nom on the Sandwich.

> You and your group start eating their sandwiches. Marisa brings the topic to Wriggle's glowing butt, but the conversation dies out after a while. A few minutes pass, and you end your picnic.
> "So, uh, it looks like you and Cirno cleared things up since I saw you at the SDM. What happened?" Marisa asks.
> "And how did you even get the ability to shrink like that?" Wriggle asks.
> "She got it from Sanae." Lily says.

> "Huh. I didn't know the green shrine maiden could do that." Wriggle says.
> "And we got to keep the new table too Wriggle." Mystia adds.
>"Umm, Miss Marisa, you`re a close friend of Miss Reimu right ? What is she like ? I mean, she`s been pretty mean to us lately...."
> "Oh yeah, me and Reimu are great friends." Marisa starts. "We go way back, but that's a different story ze~. She's the kind of person that would beat you up if you got in her way no matter who you are. She also treats everyone the same, which is why everyone always comes to the parties I- er, she throws. Even though there's barely anything at her shrine... Even so, if you rarely catch her at a good time, or just donate, she'll almost be like a whole 'nother person."
>_
-
>"Donate?"
-
>"Donate?"
> "Yup." Marisa says. "Putting money in that donation box almost always cheers her up. The only time it fails is usually when it's money taken from there in the first place. Not that I do that."
> "Is it my turn to hold Daiyousei yet?" Rumia asks.
> "No, I'm next to h-

> "T-That's fine, I can wait." Cirno looks away.
> You hop into Rumia's hands.
> "Uh, what do I do now?" Rumia asks.
> "You wanted to hold her without knowing what to do?" Mystia asks.
>One can the same mistake twice, as long as it`s for a good cause (curiosity), remove Rumia`s Ribbon while there.
> You hop up to Rumia and try to remove her ribbon. It takes a while, but you finally get it off.
> Everything goes dark...
> You awaken back at home less than a minute later. Huh, you must've respawned...
>Pet Rumia.
> You hop up to Rumia's head and pet her. It's like praising a little child!

-
>Poor Cirno-chan...
>But if we save her for last, we can spend more time with her... Hopefully she'll understand, right?
> With more and more people wanting to hold you, you'll have to keep pushing Cirno's turn back. It'll be okay...right? She'll be satisfied when it's finally her turn.
>"I don`t really know, maybe swing around like those chairs with weird feet ?"
> "Swing...?" Rumia thinks for a second.
> Rumia picks you up by the arms and starts to swing you back and forth.
> "I-Is this right?"
> "That looks more ark-, awk-ward than fun..." Lily says.
>"Miss Marisa, would you like to hold me too ?"
> "Nah, I already did that. It's not that fun, specially when you start taking my broom and stuff away."
>_
-
>"You made me do it, why would you think i was Suika ?"
>"Rumia, maybe put me on your hands and swing me around, like when you're holding a bunny in your arms !"

-
>Steal Marisa, yeah, steal HER, not from her and add her to inventory.
> You put Marisa in your pocket. It's taking up all of your space. How did she even fit?
Obtained; Marisa: The Black White magician. Good friend of Reimu's and one of the usual incident resolvers. May or may not have a harem. Likes to borrow things, but she'll return them...
>"You made me do it, why would you think i was Suika ?"
> "Well, this seemed like something she would do. And I'd believe it was Suika before I believe it was a fairy that can shrink... Just witnessed it more."
>"Rumia, maybe put me on your hands and swing me around, like when you're holding a bunny in your arms !"
>Lay down on Rumia's hands and look up in the sky.
> "Uh, okay."
> You lie down in Rumia's hands, looking towards the trees and the clouds. Then, they all start to rotate... A little too fast. You might get nauseous if this keeps up.
> "I think you're going too fast Rumia." Mystia says.
>How much is our smallness ? Our size i mean.
> You are as small as one of Alice's dolls. Not the big one Cirno fought though. In comparison to your friends, you would be only as big as their head.
> This is as small as you can get at the moment.

-
>"Just a little too fast is all... I just ate..."
-
>"Just a little too fast is all... I just ate..."

-

>Enjoy the ride.
-
>TAKE IT EASY !!!!!!!!!! (Sorry, couldn`t resist.)
-
>"Much better!"
>Enjoy the ride.
> You watch the clouds in the sky and the treetops above you spin around, and around, and around...
>TAKE IT EASY !!!!!!!!!! (Sorry, couldn`t resist.)
> You become Yukkuri Daiyousei.
> You allow yourself to relax even more on this makeshift merry-go-round. The sun is still in the sky, but it's not too high up to get in your way. And the trees shade you anyways, so it wouldn't have been a problem.
> Rumia's hands are soft, not like a blanket or pillow, but it's close.

-
>What are the others up to now? That we can see while spinning?

> Cirno is sitting down. You can't get a look at her long enough to see her expression.
> The rest of your group also appear to be sitting down, watching you in silence.
> Rumia is still spinning with you, looking down at you too. Her face looks a little weird, and the speed your spinning at drops and raises slightly every so often.
>Contemplate our next move.
> You could stop spinning and go on to the next person.
> You could do/go somewhere else entirely, but there's no telling if Marisa will follow or not.
> You could take a nap. It sounds like such a good idea right now...

>"Okay, now it will be..... Cirno-Chan`s !"
>Hop onto Cirno`s hands.
> "Finally!" Cirno cheers.

>_
-
>Hug Cirno or something close to that, and pet her...
>"It`s nothing to worry, and i don`t want to ask Miss Sanae again, not only that pain can come back, but then Reimu will get mad at her again."

-

>How old are we ?
-
>"What do you mean bother us ? What is she ? Is she also a friend of Reimu ?"

>How old are we ?

> "You fell asleep in Lily's hands, so we took you back to Misty Lake." Mystia says.

Hooray, more
people to help develop headcannon players!
Yes ! A new player has joined the party !
>"Thank you Cirno-Chan ! But, we still don`t know who the seeker will be..."
> "Why don't we ask Sanae to be the seeker?" Cirno asks.
> "I don't know..." Sanae says.
> "But then we could all hide." Mystia says.
>_
-
>"Let's do this the old fashioned way..."
>"Three..."
>"Two..."
>"One..."
>"NOT IT!"
-
>"Let's do this the old fashioned way..."
> "What do you me-"
>"Let's do this the old fashioned way..."
>"Three..."
>"Two..."
>"One..."
>"NOT IT!"
> "NOT IT!" Cirno immediately yells at practically the same time as you.
> There's an intense half-second of silence.
> "N-No"
> "Not it!" Mystia interrupts Rumia.
> "Not it!" Rumia continues.
> "Wait, how was I supposed to kno-
> "Not it." Sanae says."
> "You're it Wriggle." Mystia says.
> "No, I want a redo." Wriggle complains.
> "You said it last, so you're it!" Cirno adds.
>_
-
>Is Wriggle a good a seeker based on past experience?
>Any noticeable good hiding spots around?
-
I was thinking of doing it again, it isn`t fair if Wriggle didn`t even know what to do.
>"Okay, let`s do it again..."
>"Tree"
>"Three"
>"Two..."
>"One..."
>"NOT IT!"

Before Hawk's action:
>"Sorry..."
-
"Before Hawk's action:"
Just call me Star or Raf if you don`t mind, i almost didn`t notice you meant me with that.
-
>Is Wriggle a good a seeker based on past experience?
> You're not sure, you don't play it with her often. It was usually just Cirno and you.
>Any noticeable good hiding spots around?
> There are bushes and trees you could hide behind, the classic choice.
> You could probably go down the steps and to the bushes or trees around there.
> There's Sanae's shrine, but you can't go in there. Nobody said anything about on top of it, and if you get far back enough, you should be fine. No one would search there, would they?
Before Hawk's action:
>"Sorry..."
I was thinking of doing it again, it isn`t fair if Wriggle didn`t even know what to do.
>"Okay, let`s do it again..."
> "Thank you. I won't miss it this time." Wriggle says.
I was thinking of doing it again, it isn`t fair if Wriggle didn`t even know what to do.

>"Tree"
>"Three"
>"Two..."
>"One..."
>"NOT IT!" Cirno manages to yell before you this time.
> "Not it!" Wriggle shouts.
>"NOT IT!"
> "Not it!" Mystia says.
> "Not- w-wait. Uh... I didn't know." Rumia complains.
> "You can't pull that same trick Rumia!" Cirno says. "You're it."
>_
-
>"Aww, come on Rumia, please don`t cheat and be the seeker."
>Shrink and hug Rumia`s face. "Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee ?"
>Grow back.
-
>"Aww, come on Rumia, please don`t cheat and be the seeker."
>Shrink and hug Rumia`s face. "Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee ?"
> You snuggle Rumia's face
> "Okay..." Rumia says.
>Grow back.
> You grow back to your regular size.
>_
-
>"Now how long will we have to hide.... how about 25 seconds ? And after this one, Miss Sanae will be the seeker !"
-
>"Now how long will we have to hide.... how about 25 seconds ? And after this one, Miss Sanae will be the seeker !"
> "25 seconds is more than enough!" Cirno proudly states.
> "Let's just go already." Wriggle says.
> "I'm okay with that, but um, what happened to the spring fairy?" Sanae asks. "Lily, right?"
> "Yeah, she didn't say no it when we were doing it." Rumia says.
>_
-
>"Oh, uh... Lily?"
>Call out for Lily.
>Where could she have gone?
-
>"Oh, uh... Lily?"
>Call out for Lily.
>Where could she have gone?
> You call out for Lily.
> There's no response.
> You think about where she could have gone. She was definitely here a minute or so ago...
>_
-
>"You don't think she went hiding already... Do you?"
-
>Lily had arrived along with us too right ?
>"Oh no ! What if she went missing like the other fairies did ? Oh no... oh no !"
>Panick briefly.
-
>Lily had arrived along with us too right ?
>"Oh no ! What if she went missing like the other fairies did ? Oh no... oh no !"
>Panick briefly.
> You start panicking that your new member is gone.
> "But she was right here when we were talking to Sanae." Mystia says.
> "Maybe she died?" Cirno says.
>"You don't think she went hiding already... Do you?"
> "Did she!? That's cheating, we didn't start yet!" Rumia says.
> "Why don't we call for her to see if she is or not?" Wriggle asks.
> "Daiyousei already tried that." Mystia says.
>_
-
>Go to the skies, try to see if we can find anyone around to ask for her.
>"Hey, can you guys/girls ask Miss Sanae if she saw Lily ?"
-
>"Hey, can you guys/girls ask Miss Sanae if she saw Lily ?"
> "Okay." Mystia says.
>Go to the skies, try to see if we can find anyone around to ask for her.
> You fly up as Mystia starts to knock on the shrine's door.
> There's fairies around, but no one else in the skies.
>_
-
>Scan the area for signs of
Walter Lily White while we're up here.
-
>
Remove Sanae's mask to find out that she's Lily !
>"Uh oh, what do we do ?"
>Go back to the others.
-
>Scan the area for signs of Walter Lily White while we're up here.
> You look around the area. Eventually, you spot Lily in one of the trees closest to the steps.
>"Uh oh, what do we do ?"
>Go back to the others.
> "Sanae says she isn't in her shrine." Rumia says.
>Remove Sanae's mask to find out that she's Lily !
> Congratulations, you've stopped Lily from making spring stay forever.
> "And I would've gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids. And that stupid ice fairy too!"
>_
-
>Did Lily look like she was in trouble at all?
>"I think I just saw her in a tree near the steps. Let's look there."
>Lead the fellowship to the tree we saw Lily in.
-
>"Lily ! Thank god you're ok !"
-
>"What are you doing here?"
>Examine Lily for anything out of the ordinary.
-
>Did Lily look like she was in trouble at all?
> No. Lily was staring at your group. She probably didn't notice you.
>"I think I just saw her in a tree near the steps. Let's look there."
>Lead the fellowship to the tree we saw Lily in.
> You bring your group to the steps and next to the tree.
> "I think I see her. Right there." Mystia points to a higher branch of the tree.
>"Lily ! Thank god you're ok !"
>"What are you doing here?"
>Examine Lily for anything out of the ordinary.
> Lily is sitting on one of the higher branches, and she has been hiding her face after Mystia pointed her out.
> Lily gets down from the tree.
> "That's cheating! There's no way you could have found me so quickly." Lily says.
> "We didn't even start yet." Mystia says.
> "What?"
>_
-
>"We were deciding who was going to be the seeker first before starting, why did you go hide already ? You had us worried !"
-
>"We were deciding who was going to be the seeker first before starting, why did you go hide already ? You had us worried !"
> "I didn't know that. Then who did you decide as seeker?"
> "Well, since we found you, you're it, right?" Rumia asks.
>_
-
>"No, we'll do one last round ! The last one to say 'Not it!' will be the seeker kay ?
>"3"
>"2"
>"1"
>"NOT IT !"
-
>"No, we'll do one last round ! The last one to say 'Not it!' will be the seeker kay ?
>"3"
>"2"
> Your group gets extremely tense
>"1-"
> The instant you say 1, everyone screams "NOT IT."
>"NOT IT !"
> "You're it! You shouldn't count down so slowly Daiyousei." Mystia laughs.
> Lily has already begun flying back to the tree.

As if i wasn't expecting that. That's exactly what i wanted. :D
>"Okay !!!! 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20-21-22-23-24 andddddd 25 !!!!"
>Go go go ! Let's take a look around !
>Examine Shrine Grounds.

>Go go go ! Let's take a look around !
>Examine Shrine Grounds.
> You examine the shrine grounds and find nothing of interest. This isn't that kind of game...
> You take a gander around. All of your group is gone. Seems they know that part of hide and seek... But they don't know that you're the best at it!
> You examine the close vicinity, the path to the shrine and to the stairs. They don't seem to be in the bushes closest to the path.
> When you get to the stairs, you spot Lily back in the same tree.
>_
-
>Fly there sneaky peaky like.
>"GOTCHA !"
>Now take a look on the top of the Shrine, and behind the pillars if there's any.
-
>Fly there sneaky peaky like.
> You slowly fly up to behind where Lily is hiding.
>"GOTCHA !"
> "AHH!" Lily yelps, and jumps up, smacking her head on one of the higher branches. She fall down to the bottom of the tree.
> "O-Ow. how did you find me so quickly?" She asks, rubbing her head.
>Now take a look on the top of the Shrine, and behind the pillars if there's any.
> You fly up to the top of the shrine and check the area. No one's up here. And no one's hiding on top, nor around the pillars next to the path.
>_
-
>"You were hiding in the same spot as before."
>check behind the shrine.
-
>"You were hiding in the same spot as before."
> "But the game didn't start that time. I thought it would work." Lily says.
>check behind the shrine.
> You walk behind the shrine. There's no one else here, but you swear you could hear something move as you approached the back.
>_
-
>Move towards where you heard the noise.
-
>Also, try to move close to the wall, while slowly hovering.
-
>Move towards where you heard the noise.
>Also, try to move close to the wall, while slowly hovering.
> The noise came from the other side of the shrine when you were walking to the back, so you float over there. As you turn the corner, you catch a glimpse of someone again before they leave, on the front side of the shrine now!
>_
-
>If we go to the top of the Shrine, can we get a view from all the sides ?
>If so do it.
-
>If we go to the top of the Shrine, can we get a view from all the sides ?
> You can get a good view of all the sides, but you wouldn't be able to see the walls, of course.
>If so do it.
> You fly up to the top of the shrine and look around the sides. You can spot some clothing; a cape, on the left side of the shrine, but it quickly disappears to the front.
>_
-
>Quickly descend onto the front, do it fast and as silent as possible.
-
>Quickly descend onto the front, do it fast and as silent as possible.
> You descend with stealth and speed to the front of the shrine. No one is here.
> "That's cheating!" Lily shouts from the bottom of her tree.
>_
-
>"Huh ? What did i do ?!?"
>Look around.
-
>"Huh ? What did i do ?!?"
>Look around.
> "It's Wriggle! She's cheating."
> You look around. There's nothing of interest still. You can however, hear some muffled sound from under the steps at the front of the shrine.
>_
-
>Check under the steps.
-
>Check under the steps.
> You check under the steps and find Rumia and Wriggle both.
> "I told you to leave. Now she found us both." Rumia complains.
> "She wouldn't have found us if you didn't complain. I would've left in a second or two." Wriggle says, wriggling out from under the steps.
>_
-
Wriggle says, wriggling out from under the steps.
Was this pun intended ? Anyways.
>"Alright ! Now there's just Cirno and Mystia left...."
>Are there any statues or stuff like that around ?
-
//Of course :P There was no way around it.
But I could've said crawl...
Was this pun intended ? Anyways.
>"Alright ! Now there's just Cirno and Mystia left...."
> "I won't be found next round!" Wriggle declares.
>Are there any statues or stuff like that around ?
> On the sides of the path yes, but you've checked the path and anything really close to it, and only found Lily.
>_
-
>Scan area for obvious hiding spots.
-
>Scan area for obvious hiding spots.
> You check for obvious hiding spots, like right on the path or right in front of the shrine, as obvious as they get.
> You don't see anyone besides Wriggle and Lily, but you feel a relaxing amount of cold air when you approach the shrine doors.
>_
-
>Wait, where did Rumia go? Didn't we find her under the steps with Wriggle?
>That's definitely gotta be Cirno near the shrine doors! Leave it to Cirno-chan to hide in the one place she was told not to hide in...
//inb4 Rumia got stuck in the steps trying to get out.
-
>Wait, where did Rumia go? Didn't we find her under the steps with Wriggle?
> You think Rumia is still down there.
>That's definitely gotta be Cirno near the shrine doors! Leave it to Cirno-chan to hide in the one place she was told not to hide in...
> You check near the shrine doors, but nothing shows up. There's colder air coming down on you every so often though.
>_
-
>Open your eyes!
>Look up to the skies and see!
>Translation: Look up.
-
>Open your eyes!
>Look up to the skies and see!
>Translation: Look up.
> You look up and see Cirno. As soon as your eyes meet, she tenses up, and drops onto you.
> "Darn. I was sure this was a good hiding place." Cirno say.
>_
-
>"It was a really good one ! But because the air around you gets cold, i could find you !"
>Now for Mystia...... let's make a recheck on all the hiding spots we know.
-
>"It was a really good one ! But because the air around you gets cold, i could find you !"
>Now for Mystia...... let's make a recheck on all the hiding spots we know.
> You check the sides of the shrine, the back, under the shrine's steps, the trees near the path, and find no Mystia.
> "Oh, you're looking for Mystia? She went down t-aah" Lily starts, before she's tackled by Wriggle.
> "Now who's cheating?" Wriggle says "You can't tell where the others are."
>_
-
>"Hey ! Don't tell me ! That ruins the game !"
>Hmm.... i guess we can go check down the Shrine Path ?
-
>"Hey ! Don't tell me ! That ruins the game !"
>Hmm.... i guess we can go check down the Shrine Path ?
> You check down the Shrine's path, walking down the steps.
> There obviously isn't anybody in plain sight, but there are bushes and trees to hide among.
>_
-
>Pick up some stones and throw them in the bushes, don't throw them with too much force though.
>Then go check the bushes ourselves.
-
>Pick up some stones and throw them in the bushes, don't throw them with too much force though.
>Then go check the bushes ourselves.
> You toss a couple of stones into the bushes. There's no response except for them rustling from the impact.
> You check the bushes. Oh god, there's a dead bird. How could you!? There's nothing here.
>_
-
>
Bury the dead bird.
-
>Bury the dead bird.
> You give the bird a proper burial.
> "We aren't going to tell Mystia about this... are we?" Wriggle asks.
-
>Check trees.
>If nothing found, go down a bit more to check for more hiding spots then back up.
-
>Check trees.
> You check the trees and eventually find Mystia in one of them. She's pretty well hidden behind the leaves. As soon as you spot her, she sighs and floats down.
> "I could've sworn I went far enough from everyone else. I didn't expect to be found, at least not that soon. Did you find anyone else yet?"
>_
-
>"Yup, I've found everyone else, in fact!"
>We did find everyone, right?
-
>"Yup, I've found everyone else, in fact!"
>We did find everyone, right?
> Yes you have.
> "But it's only been a couple of minutes!"
>_
-
>Smile.
>"Well, i guess i am pretty good after all !"
-
>Smile.
>"Well, i guess i am pretty good after all !"
> "Will we do another round, with our powers? I'm sure I can win with powers!"
>_
-
>Hm....
>What powers do the others have that could help them hide?
-
>Hm....
>What powers do the others have that could help them hide?
> Rumia's powers would enable her to envelop a small area in darkness, but anywhere that isn't dark already, she'll stick out like a sore thumb. If she's somewhere dark though, you would have almost no idea if she's there.
> Wriggle's powers allow her to control insects, but that probably wouldn't be good for hide and seek. Maybe to distract you?
> Lily's and Cirno's wouldn't help at all...
> Mystia's singing would make it easier to know where she is, but actually finding her would be really, really tough because you could be blinded. This one seems the most troublesome.
>_
-
>Well, this should be good for a challenge.
>"All right, let's do another round."
>"3"
>"2"
>"1"
>"NOT IT!"
-
>Well, this should be good for a challenge.
>"All right, let's do another round."
>"3"
>"2"
> "Wait! we have to go back to the top and get everyone together." Mystia says.
>_
-
>"Oh yeah! Right!"
>Head back to the others.
-
>"Oh yeah! Right!"
>Head back to the others.
> You fly back up to the shrine.
> "Oh, you found Mysty." Cirno says.
> "Already?" Rumia says, finally getting out from under the stairs.
> "I could've found you guys faster." Wriggle claims.
>_
-
>
Challenge Mysty to a pokemon battle
>"Okay ! Now let's start again !"
>"3"
>"2"
>"1"
>"0! NOT IT!"
-
>Challenge Mysty to a pokemon battle
> Boneka/

> Mystia sent out Staryu![/s]
>Challenge Mysty to a pokemon battle
>"Okay ! Now let's start again !"
>"3"
>"2"
>"1"
> "Not it!" Cirno shouts.
>"0! NOT IT!"
> "Not it!" The rest of your group yells together, with Rumia's voice sounding the latest.
> "Wait, we were going on zero?" says Cirno. "Dangit."
> "Are we using powers this time?" Mystia asks.
>_
-
> "Are we using powers this time?" Mystia asks.
>_
>"lol git gud"
>"Sure, it would make things more interesting. Even though you're the only one here whose powers are useful for this."
>"Also, what if we also had to catch who we find to have it count?"
-
>Would that be unfair ? Since we can Warp like crazy even with the Cooldown Timer ?
Hey ! Why are you here ?!? Kidding, welcome ! *insert greeting hand here*
-
>"lol git gud"
>"Sure, it would make things more interesting. Even though you're the only one here whose powers are useful for this."
>"Also, what if we also had to catch who we find to have it count?"
> "Oh, that's a great idea!" Mystia exclaims.
> "Doesn't matter, I can still catch you guys easily." Cirno boasts.
>>Would that be unfair ? Since we can Warp like crazy even with the Cooldown Timer ?
> You believe you would have the advantage, considering that you could just warp away, even with having to stop for a second afterwards.
>_
-
>Would this mean we'd be allowed to use our shrinking to find a hiding spot?
>If it ends up being unfair, and everyone complains about it, we can just blame Mystia for giving us the idea.
-
>Raf: Hit Nazgul with a stick. "We`re not using the shrinking, that`s too unfair ! For now just stick with the Warp."
>"I dunno, i guess ?"
-
>Would this mean we'd be allowed to use our shrinking to find a hiding spot?
> You think about using your shrinking. It would definitely make you harder to find and catch...
>Raf: Hit Nazgul with a stick. "We`re not using the shrinking, that`s too unfair ! For now just stick with the Warp."
>If it ends up being unfair, and everyone complains about it, we can just blame Mystia for giving us the idea.
> But you decide against it...for now.
>"I dunno, i guess ?"
> "Okay then. Powers, and you have to catch them if you find them." Mystia declares. "Cirno's it since she said it too early."
> "I'll still find you guys and catch you really quickly!" Cirno says.
>_
-
//I wasn't suggesting using shrinking to access a totally inaccessible spot, I meant use it to enter a spot that is more difficult to get into or follow us through, but still gives Cirno-chan a chance to catch us. You do realize warping has the same potential to allow us to hide in an inaccessible area, right? So both methods could potentially have the same amount of unfairness, Raf.
-
//Well, we would only use the warping for not getting caught purposes, that was my idea. And it kinda still seems weird that way, Cirno is slower than us and being smaller, more slippery and harder to catch would be kind of a overkill.
*Catalogues in Plausible Ideas*
>"But you still have to count ! So you won`t be that fast !"
-
>"But you still have to count ! So you won`t be that fast !"
> "Watch me!" Cirno says, then covers her eyes.
> "One, Two,"
> Your group starts to run to various hiding spots. Except for Rumia. She's behind Cirno, holding onto her...
> "Three, Four, Five,"
>_
-
>Start running off.
>Double take at Rumia, what the hell?!
>"HEY! RUMIA! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?! ONLY I'M ALLOWED TO HOLD MY CIRNO-CHA-" Cover mouth and turn deep red because Cirno might of heard that.
-
>Start running off.
> You run off, down the steps. Finding a spot can come after that.
> "Six, Seven,"
>Double take at Rumia, what the hell?!
> But before you descend the stairs, you look back at Rumia and Cirno. Why in the world is she holding Cirno!?
> Then Cirno and Rumia are enveloped in darkness. It's not covering that large an area, but you can't see either of them.
> "What the heck? Why is- oh..." Mystia says, from Cirno's previous spot.
> "Eight, Nine, ......... Uh." Cirno stops counting.
>"HEY! RUMIA! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?! ONLY I'M ALLOWED TO HOLD MY CIRNO-CHA-" Cover mouth and turn deep red because Cirno might of heard that.
> Crap, the others must've heard that too. Your face gets as red as a tomato.
> "Aww~" Mystia and Wriggle both say together.
>_
-
>"Did she forget what number comes next ?"
>Look around for neat hiding spots.
-
>"Did she forget what number comes next ?"
> "Maybe, I can't tell. I'm not waiting to find out though." Wriggle heads behind the shrine again.
>Look around for neat hiding spots.
> You look around. There's the shrine and various spots such as on top of it or under the steps, but the latter has been done already. There are trees around, and you could hide in or behind one, but that's an obvious spot. Still, the amount of trees will have her guessing... The statues seem like poor hiding spots, as they don't cover much. From where you are, there are no good hiding spots, just the regular ones.
> "Nine...Nine..." You hear Cirno's voice say. "One...Two...Three...Four...Five...Six...Seven...Eight...Nine... T-Ten! Wait, what's after ten?"
>_
-
>That`s why you go to school kids !
>What do we have at the top of the Shrine, is there some kind of bell or something like that ?
-
>That`s why you go to school kids !
> Cirno really should've gone to the village's school with you more. Then she might've been able to count to 25.
>What do we have at the top of the Shrine, is there some kind of bell or something like that ?
> The triangular roof has nothing on it. You can't see anything on top from the front or back of the shrine, but you could see if you viewed the roof from the sides or above.
>_
-
>Are there any smaller buildings near the shrine? I mean, Sanae said we couldn't play in the shrine itself, but she said nothing about hiding in small structures next to the shrine.
-
>How about down the Shrine`s path ? Anything like a small storage or the sort ?
-
>Are there any smaller buildings near the shrine? I mean, Sanae said we couldn't play in the shrine itself, but she said nothing about hiding in small structures next to the shrine.
>How about down the Shrine`s path ? Anything like a small storage or the sort ?
> There is another, much smaller structure next to the shrine. It's doors are closed. The donation box is also over there.
> "Just count to ten twice Cirno." Mystia says.
> "Ok. One...Two...Three..."
>_
-
>Head for small structure.
>Check if doors are locked.
>If they are, is there a window on the small structure?
>If so, quickly head for it. Is it big enough for Cirno to get through? Is there enough room on the other side for us to warp there if we can't get/squeeze through before Cirno is done counting?
-
>Head for small structure.
>Check if doors are locked.
> You fly to the neighboring structure and check the doors. They slide open, revealing a bunch of strange items you've never seen before. One of them is a two wheeled chair thingy, but it looks weird to sit on.
> "Four...Five..."
>_
-
//So, do we hide here Nazgulsei ?
-
>Are there any good hiding spots in here?
>Also check for windows. If we decide to hide in here, we may need an escape route if Cirno comes in here to find us, and warping behind her seems a bit risky.
-
>Are there any good hiding spots in here?
> There are a lot. You could hide behind many of the objects here, like the box antennae thingy, or some of the normal boxes stacked upon each other. There's also the idea of just going into one of the corners. The place is pretty dark anyways.
>Also check for windows. If we decide to hide in here, we may need an escape route if Cirno comes in here to find us, and warping behind her seems a bit risky.
> There are no windows. If you closed the doors, it would probably be pitch black...
> "Six, Seven, Eight,"
>_
-
>Well, we don't really have time to find a better hiding spot, so let's just close the doors, and hide behind a large object in a corner somewhere...
-
>We're running out of time!
>Hide behind some boxes in a corner.
>Remember, Daiyousei, this is a sneaking mission.
-
>Well, we don't really have time to find a better hiding spot, so let's just close the doors, and hide behind a large object in a corner somewhere...
> You close the doors and look for a good corner amidst the darkness.
>We're running out of time!
>Hide behind some boxes in a corner.
> After fumbling about and tripping over a few things, you manage to move a bunch of boxes into a corner, and hide behind it.
> "Nine, Ten! Here I, huh?" You hear a really faint voice. It's hard to hear or see anything in here, And you feel a little sca-, t-tense. Maybe this wasn't the best place to hide...

>Get yourself together Dai-chan! We're supposed to be the best at this game! We aren't gonna let a little darkness beat us! Besides, it's not like there's anyone else in here with us.
>Back to possible escape routes in case we're discovered, do we need a line of sight with a location to warp somewhere? If not, then it's possible to warp into the air outside the shed, right?

>Get yourself together Dai-chan! We're supposed to be the best at this game! We aren't gonna let a little darkness beat us! Besides, it's not like there's anyone else in here with us.
> This is fine. It's just darkness, Rumia's in this a lot. There's no one else even in here either, just a bunch of weird stuff and cool looking things.
>Back to possible escape routes in case we're discovered, do we need a line of sight with a location to warp somewhere? If not, then it's possible to warp into the air outside the shed, right?
> You're perfectly capable of warping pretty far, even with your eyes closed. Such a thing as warping out of a structure even when you can't see what's outside is easy.
>_
-
> What can we hear?
-
> What can we hear?
> You can just barely hear Cirno outside, but nothing else much.
> "Rumia!" Cirno yells. It sounds like she said something else, but you couldn't make it out.

>Continue to sit in solemn silence
in a dull, dark, dock, In a pestilential prison, with a life-long lock...
-
>Continue to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark, dock, In a pestilential prison, with a life-long lock...
> You continue sitting in silence, waiting for that moment when Cirno bursts through, looking for someone...
...
> BAM* You jump a little as the door slides open and light enters the room, along with Cirno and Mystia. It doesn't uncover your spot, since you covered your corner by boxes. Finally they're checking here. It's already been more than a few minutes.
> "We're not supposed to be in the shrine you know." Mystia says.
> "But this isn't the shrine. Wouldn't this be a great place to hide too!? Look at all the spots you could go."
> "It's still pretty small..." Mystia replies.
>_
-
>Eck ! Is it ok for us to tell them to go away ?
>Stay quiet for now.
-
>Eck ! Is it ok for us to tell them to go away ?
> You think about telling them to go away. This would likely reveal your position quickly.
>Stay quiet for now.
> You stay as silent as possible.
> "So there's just Lily, Wriggle and Daiyousei left to find. Lily's probably up in that tree again, so that leaves Wriggle or Daiyousei." Mystia says. "Okay, happy seeking."
> "You're not gonna help me?" Cirno questions.
> "Of course not, that's against the rules."
> "Fine, I can do it myself anyways."
> Cirno starts to lift and move things around, occasionally asking Mystia what "this" is, just to be told: "I don't know". If she keeps this up, you'll be found.

>Does our warping make any kind of noise or emits any kind of light ?
>Are we in position to do so ? If so, do it while making sure not to get stuck on something.
-
>Does our warping make any kind of noise or emits any kind of light ?
> Warping makes no noise at all and it doesn't make light either. It does, however, make whatever you're warping seem to grow a bit right before it warps. This won't be a problem though, as they aren't close enough and the boxes you stacked would block you from being seen.
>Are we in position to do so ? If so, do it while making sure not to get stuck on something.
> You warp outside, behind the building, making sure to go far enough to avoid clipping into the building's back, but close enough to avoid anything else.
> You end up right outside of the building. There's nothing close behind it, so you weren't in danger of going too far unless you really overshot it.
> You spot Wriggle, behind the actual shrine, waiting.
>_
-
>Try to get out of sight, behind a bush maybe ?
//Alright Daiyouseis, get your ideas up, we still have Concealment.
-
>Try to get out of sight, behind a bush maybe ?
> You try to fly to a bush, but not only are they not close, but Wriggle spots you as soon as you start flying. She does a quick wave to you.
//Alright Daiyousix, get your ideas up, we still have Concealment.
//Alternate Trans :P
>_
-
//Alternate Trans :P
//You want Portuguese ? You`ll get Portuguese, Rei Minusculo. :P
-
//We could always sneak back into the shed as soon as Cirno leaves, I mean, it's not like she's smart enough to check the same spot twice...
-
>Wave back at Wriggle and put our finger in front of our mouth as to say "Don`t tell her !"
>Hide on one bush and wait until Cirno passed by again to return to our hiding spot, if she comes dangerously near us, then make a game note.
-
>Warp to close the distance between us and the shed if necessary.
-
>Wave back at Wriggle and put our finger in front of our mouth as to say "Don`t tell her !"
> You make a shushing motion with your finger, and Wriggle nods in response.
> You notice that there is a fly stationary on both sides of the shrine, and also one on the roof.
>Hide on one bush and wait until Cirno passed by again to return to our hiding spot, if she comes dangerously near us, then make a game note.
> You hide in a bush close to the shed. After a couple of minutes, Cirno walks out of the shed along with Mystia, closing the door behind them.
> "Guess neither of them are there. I was really betting on it too..." Cirno slumps.
> "Where are you gonna look next?" Mystia asks.
> "That one tree. Lily hid there last time and the time before, so I know she's there again!"

-
>Do we remember enough of the interior layout to warp inside without killing ourselves or getting stuck in something?
>In our entire history, have we ever clipped ourselves into an object, but not enough to kill us?
-
>
Accidentally warp onto someone and fuse with them to become a single entity.
>Can`t we just get in again through the door ?
-
>Can`t we just get in again through the door ?
>Opening the door will make noise, if Cirno isn't far away enough, opening it can be risky as it may draw attention.
//Besides, I was only wondering if warping was possible. I wasn't fully committed to the idea yet.
-
>Do we remember enough of the interior layout to warp inside without killing ourselves or getting stuck in something?
> Not only was it very dark and clutter was nearly everywhere, but there is no doubt that Cirno moved stuff around while searching.
>In our entire history, have we ever clipped ourselves into an object, but not enough to kill us?
> Yes. On good occasions, you've clipped into weak things, such as grass or flowers, and part of them were destroyed to make space for you. On absolutely terrible occasions, and you hate this more than outright dying by warping, you've warped partially into something. On such occurrences, you've lost a limb or more, and there's almost always only one way to get it back. It's never pleasant...
You really don't like thinking about it.
> The chances of you dying by warping into something is small due to the size of most of the stuff, but it's almost impossible to avoid warping into something and being injured.
>Can`t we just get in again through the door ?
>Opening the door will make noise, if Cirno isn't far away enough, opening it can be risky as it may draw attention.
> You think about going around and opening the door, but as Cirno would hear you, you decide against it.
>Accidentally warp onto someone and fuse with them to become a single entity.
> You warp into Cirno and fuse to become a sort of super fairy. One who could probably beat even Reimu...

-
> How tall is the shed? Maybe we could warp back inside closer to the ceiling to make sure we don't materialize inside anything.
-
>Is it painful if we warp partially into something, or just very uncomfortable?
>What parts of us, besides our head because that's pretty obvious, will kill us instantly if we accidentally clip them into something?
>Have we ever tried warping back out after warping into something in that manner?
-
> How tall is the shed? Maybe we could warp back inside closer to the ceiling to make sure we don't materialize inside anything.
> It's not very tall, but tall enough that you could fly in small circles near the top, so warping near the ceiling could work.
>Is it painful if we warp partially into something, or just very uncomfortable?
> Painful is an understatement...
>What parts of us, besides our head because that's pretty obvious, will kill us instantly if we accidentally clip them into something?
> Warping your upper body into something would likely kill you instantly. If it was just a part of it that didn't include your heart, you would probably be in that pain for a bit before you actually died.
>Have we ever tried warping back out after warping into something in that manner?
> You don't think it's possible. The instant you warp into something, either you go, or it goes.
>_
-
>Wait until Cirno and Mystia go away, then enter the shed by the door.
-
>Wait until Cirno and Mystia go away, then enter the shed by the door.
> You hold your position until Cirno and Mystia leave.
> When they're far enough away, you float to the doors, open them, then head inside.
> Everything's been moved. There's nothing stacked up anymore, it's all on the floor.
> "How did you knooooow!?" You hear someone from afar.
>_
-
>Who did it sound like?
-
>Who did it sound like?
> It sounded like Lily, but it's soon evident that it is, as she flies into the sky from her tree, with Cirno chasing after her.
>_
-
>How can we see them if we're already inside the windowless shed?
-
>How can we see them if we're already inside the windowless shed?
> You actually haven't closed the doors yet.
>_
-
>Then what the hell are we waiting for!? Shut the door and hide before she sees us!!
-
>Then what the hell are we waiting for!? Shut the door and hide before she sees us!!
> You quickly shut the door before they get any closer to the building. Now, for a place to hide...
> "Perfect Freeze!"
>_
-
>Were we seen?
>Is our old spot untouched? If so, hide there.
>If not, hide in the best spot available.
-
>Were we seen?
> You don't think so. They were far away in the sky and also going in another direction.
>Is our old spot untouched? If so, hide there.
> You can't even tell where your hiding spot was. Things have been moved around way too much.
>If not, hide in the best spot available.
> Most of the clutter and boxes were tossed near the other corner away from the doors, so you make your way there and hide as best as you can. Things aren't piled up enough for you to hide just by sitting down. You could probably stack things up again or lie down to hide, but the latter would obstruct your view of the doors.
> You hear the sound of ice shattering outside.
>_
-
>Looks like Lily did it again and is having some trouble.
>If we stack up everything again, they might suspect something, can we lay down and still be able to warp out safely the same way we did ?
-
>Looks like Lily did it again and is having some trouble.
>If we stack up everything again, they might suspect something, can we lay down and still be able to warp out safely the same way we did ?
> You could warp out while lying down, but how it looks when you're warping may be seen. That's still just a chance, and that's considering that Cirno actually comes back to check this place.
>_
-
>We`ll take it, better a fleeing Daiyosei than a Caught one.
-
>We`ll take it, better a fleeing Daiyosei than a Caught one.
> You decide to lie down so you're hidden from the door.
> A minute passes, and you're already starting to feel hot. Darn this cramped room...
>_
-
>
Somehow suffocate in here.
>Don't let the heat get to us! Stay determined in out hiding!
-
>
Create the world`s first fairy-made air conditioner.
-
>Somehow suffocate in here.
> You quickly run out of air in this cluttered room.
...
> You wake up in your treehouse again. You should really get a bed, the blankets on the floor aren't the best to wake up to.
>Create the world`s first fairy-made air conditioner.
> You fly back to the building, grab Cirno, and strap her to one of the weird things in the building. Your creation now expels cool air at a rate better than wind could do normally.
>Don't let the heat get to us! Stay determined in out hiding!
> You're not letting this heat get to you! It's not summer heat, so it's not that bad... But the normally cool wind that accompanies spring would be nice right now.
> Minutes pass. and you're feeling hotter in this tight position. Not only that, but lying on the floor is getting uncomfortable too.
> There's the faint sound of leaves rustling outside.
> "Ow, that hurt you know."
> "I still got you. Now for Wriggle and Dai-chan."
> "Why do you call her that anyways?"
> "Because she's my"
> The voices get softer and further away.
>_
-
>Awww....
>Keep waiting.
-
>Awww....
>Keep waiting.
> You keep waiting. You're starting to sweat though...
> Several more minutes pass, and it's gotten to the point where you have to wipe your forehead occasionally.
> "Stop going around!" you hear Cirno outside.
>_
-
>"Huh ?"
>Maybe she found Wriggle ?
>Stay still, if we can`t hear anyone else, get up and look through the windows to check for Cirno.
-
>"Huh ?"
>Maybe she found Wriggle ?
> You let out a small whisper of wonder, speculating that Wriggle might have been found.
>Stay still, if we can`t hear anyone else, get up and look through the windows to check for Cirno.
> You stay still.
> There's the sound of Cirno freezing something again.
> "Wait wait wait!!" Wriggle's voice booms. "Stop!"
> "You give up already?"
> "Yea, just, please unfreeze it. B-Be careful."
>
-
>Did she freeze Wriggle`s bugs ? That`s kinda dangerous....
-
>Did she freeze Wriggle`s bugs ? That`s kinda dangerous....
> From the sounds outside, you think Cirno froze one of Wriggle's bugs.
> "I-I'm not playing anymore. Please, please be careful Cirno."
> "Don't worry, I got it. This works two out of three times."
> "No, make this one work three out of three times!"
>_
-
>Heat check.
-
>Heat check.
> You're not feeling any better. Sitting up was okay and wasn't too unpleasant, but being so cramped lying down... You could probably tolerate it for a few more minutes before you start sweating like mad.
>_
-
>Wait a few minutes, stay determined, we're the best at this game!
>Get killed in some way because 1000 posts.
-
> Shank Cirno for freezing one of Wriggle's bugs.
> Then shank Wriggle while she's distracted!
-
>Wait a few minutes, stay determined, we're the best at this game!
>Get killed in some way because 1000 posts.
> You continue waiting through the fire and fla-...heat.
> Shank Cirno for freezing one of Wriggle's bugs.
> Then shank Wriggle while she's distracted!
> You ready the knife you stole during your trip through the Scarlet Devil Mansion and get up, heading for the door.
> Suddenly, you're shanked from the shadows by Rumia. She must've... went into the building... right as you did... You fall to the floor.
> "They may well be tenacious creatures. But fairies are easy to dupe."
> Everything goes completely black...
