Worlds Collide

[Sonanoka]

Sakuya: Well, I suppose you could call milady a bit of a... pervert.

[Beginnings]

Shiro: You don't say... *shrugs* I think she is just enjoying the opportunity to have two of you around.

[Sonanoka]

Enjoying a tame way to put it, I suppose. *finishes undressing him* There, now to get you into the other dress. *smiles*

(So, don't post the rest of the thread history? XD)

[Beginnings]

Eh, if I must. *grumbles* Note to self, take advantage of the newly uninhabited male bodies next time...

(All five thousand or so?)

[Sonanoka]

{I think I'll just post the rust anyways! If you want me to, though, I can delete it~}

???: Oh, bother, bloody parts aren't fitting together. Substandard equipment I have to work with... *smacks metal with metal* Work, now, dang you! *hears rustling behind her* ...Wait a second. That wasn't natural. Who's there?
7/27???: He-hello...
7/27(That was planned to be you... but do whatever you want. XD)

???: *jumps in place* Thought so. Who goes there! *begins to clamber up a metal construction* I'll have you know I'm armed!
7/27Usagi: I-I'm not?!
7/27???: You're not? Well, come closer then... where I can see you.
7/27Usagi: *steps out of the shadows, and makes her way through a bush*
7/27???: *peering down at her* Well, you don't look too threatening... Hrmph, fine. You can run along if you want. I've got to work to get this thing running. *jumps back down from the metal construction, which to any observer appears to be a large tracked vehicle with a shrine looking building on top*
7/27(Am I human, or...?)
7/27(Yeah, that seems the general theme. XD I suppose I should have asked. Although, that does bring up something I have been wanting to ask you...

But do whatever you want to do. Be Usagi, or be a human. There will be benefits and detriments to either one. Although, I did have it planned out for a human.)
7/27(Little girl that acts older than she is, it is~ Also, what?)

Usagi: So... you drive a... shrine?
7/27(Oh, I've been trying to sort out which of the characters I'll be running into in SS. And the last four I have (currently) are Reimu, Yukari, VIVIT, and Lily the White. Didn't know if you minded me adding Usagi to the list.)

???: It's not a shrine! It's a tank! A wonderful creation capable of shooting forth danmaku! *in the background, a piece falls off and onto the ground* ...or it will, once I get the primary buffer panel fixed... among ten thousand other things...
7/27(Wait, what? o_o Usagi'll be in SS?)

Usagi: If it has so many issues, is it not more a pile of scrap than it is a tank...?
7/27(I'm asking if you'd mind me using her. Just as a cameo, more than anything. But I wasn't going to without asking permission... Plus that would be about chapter 100, so a long ways away)

???: ...Yeah, it is. It still moves though, which is as much as I can say. Stupid inferior past materials...
7/27(Quite fine!)

Usagi: Though, If it's so bad, why not gut it and rebuild it on top of what DOES work?
7/27???: Because it's not science if it's not flashy! *pouts a bit, before kicking a tread* It just means I have to work harder...
7/27Usagi: But... couldn't you make it flashier, if you remade it? Also, is the tread supposed to fall off when you kick it...?
7/27???: *looks down, before jumping* Ah! No! *grabs the edge of the tread and lifts it slowly back up* Damn it damn it damn it... I need some carbon nanotube laced silver, not rusty steel...
7/27Usagi: Well, I don't have any of that, but I DO happen to have a steel ingot in my underwear. *hands the warm chunk of steel to her* Don't ask how, or why that was in my underoos.
7/27???: *stares down at it* Uhh... sure. Thanks, I suppose. *jumps back into shrine and throws out random tools, before yanking out a portable forge* I suppose I can melt this down and replace it. ...If I can't ask that, though, can I ask your name, crazy girl?
7/27I'm Usagi, because I was once a bunny girl for a few weeks, after having my memory stolen by way of tree. I'm human now, sadly. I think it's Yukari's fault...
7/27???: Ah, poor thing. Still, I could see a Yukari doing that... Or a few other people. Sure it wasn't one of the poltergeist when they were bored? *begins to melt down the iron, steam pouring into the air*
7/27Usagi: ...I don't think I've ever met a poltergeist before...
7/27???: Eh, don't worry about it. It could have been one of the dream demons too. Everything could simply be a dream. *lets the steel fall into the cast. after waiting for a few moments, pulls out a new bolt and latches the treads together with it* eh, it will only hold up a few hundred thousand miles... or a few days of testing. But thanks there, Usa.
7/27Usagi: You're very welcome!
7/27???: *climbs back in and turns the motor on* Ah, there we go... now all I have to do is to get the cannons to work... bothersome. *looks down at her* So, you wanting a ride anywhere? Or ya heading on?
7/27Usagi: Ahh, I've nowhere to be. I'm a bit lost, miss...?
7/27???: Rika. The names Rika. I have a last name... Or rather, I will. But we're near the base of the youkai mountain.
7/27Usagi: Well, as I've nowhere to be untill I find one of my friends, namely Cirno, I suppose I'd like to travel along-side you, as I'd likely get eaten at this rate. Atleast, if that's fine with you...
7/27Rika: That's fine with me... I was just going to go show off my machine to mama... See what she thought of it.
7/27Usagi: So, where to?
7/27Rika: *grabs a few levers, causing the vehicle to jerk forward* To the kappa village... They'll know where she is. But who are your friends that you're looking for?
7/27Usagi: Let's see... *begins to count fingers* Cirno, Mystia, Wriggle, Rumia, Daiyousei, Aya, Mima, and big my sisters Remilia, and Flandre
7/27Rika: *blinks for a moment* Your sisters, Remilia and Flandre? How does that even work... *grows suspicious* Are we thinking of the same Remilia and Flandre here?
7/27Ahh, flan sucked me untill nothing was left, and so I turned into a vampire last time I was human, thanks to eating my own pinkey, however that works... But why do you ask that...?
7/27*is quiet for a moment as the vehicle rounds a corner* Because the Flandre that I knew was the Lady of the Scarlet Mansion after the death of her sister. ...But then again, there's the whole time mess involved with everything.
7/27Usagi: B-big sis Remi's dead...? *tears up a bit*
7/27Rika: *looks back up at the girl* Not right now she's not... When I was born, though, she was. *sighs* Put it this way, kid. I'm not from this point in time. So, Remilia is still alive 'now', I suppose.
7/27Usagi: *sighs* Ohh, that's good... I was scared for a bit!
7/27Rika: Still, kid, calling the Remilia that I was told about? ...Maybe she would be a bit different if you made friendly with her, but still... *shakes her head* Ok. We're nearly hear at the village. Can you keep an eye out for any kappa?
7/27Usagi: Sure! *looks about*
7/27Rika: Don't seem to be any out... *looks along the roadside* And oddly enough, to traps or anything. Funny... *bushes along the roadside suddenly begin to move* Oh, great, bush youkai. Usagi, would you kindly hit that red button right there?
7/27Usagi: *presses it, but it falls off* Uhh... is it working...?
7/27Rika: *two big cannons fall from the roof of the shrine and point at the bushes* I'd say that they do.

Kappa: *bursts from the bushes* Ah! Don't shoot! We were just watching! No harm! Ain't that right?

Other Kappa: *right behind the first* Yup! Completely right! No shirikodama extracting or anything!
7/27Usagi: Shiko-what, now?
7/27Other Kappa: *sweats slightly* It's a ball in your anus! Kappa are known to-

Kappa: *just slapped the other kappa in the head* Do you really have to go into full detail? Not everyone wants to know what we can do to them...
7/27Usagi: I'm not going to let you have my shiro-hoohah! *bears her shark-like teeth, which remain behind regardless of being a youkai*
7/28Other Kappa: Didn't I say that we weren't going to extract it?

Rika: Ok, calm down girls, whatever. I just want you to tell me where to find a certain kappa.

Kappa: Ok, shoot. *holds hands up* not the guns, though. Not the guns!
7/28Usagi: *closes mouth lips with a pout* And here I was thinking I'd finally get to bite something...
7/28Rika: Gonna take you to Yagokuero at this rate... *turns back to kappa* Ok, tell me where to find a Nitori.

Kappa: Umm... That might be a problem.

Other Kappa: Yeah, a bit...
7/28Usagi: Why?
7/28Kappa: Yeah! She lives in a cave up on the mountain, but it got blown up! Really nasty...

Rika: *sigh* Was it cucumber-related?
7/28Usagi: ...How does one blow things up with a cucumber...?
7/28Rika: Lots and lots of ways. The cucumber sciences are a kappa specialty.

Kappa: That might be so, but it wasn't that. I don't think. We don't actually talk to her...
7/28Usagi: Really? Why...?
7/28Other Kappa: *shrug* she doesn't talk to us. All up in her hidey hole. Keeps prattling about the kappa-human alliance.

Kappa: As if that would ever happen. But since you didn't shoot us, we're leaving. We've got to be going! *scurries away, with the other kappa on her heels*

Rika: Fun, aren't they? But let's get a going. Need to turn this damn thing around... *grinds gears as the vehicle slowly swings around*
7/28Usagi: I wonder if I can still kyuu people...
7/28Rika: *looks at her* Eh? What do you mean by that?
7/28Usagi: Well, I can make people go kyuu, a bit like big sis Flan does... Though, while hers is a bit... explosive, mine just feels good, as far as those I've used it on are concerned... I mean, I can still see eyes, but I'm not a vampire anymore...
7/28Rika: Interesting... But I wouldn't be trying it quite yet. I need to be driving tis thing... but keep it in mind. *Scratches chin* I wonder what else you can do, though
7/28Usagi: Well, I still have the teeth I have from biting Rumia... *grins, showing off her shark-like teeth*
7/28Rika: *glances at her and blinks* Noted. Don't bite me... You won't get anything. Except maybe the ability to swim better, and sling around a puddle.
7/28Usagi: Is that so~?
7/28Rika: That is so. Kinda weak for a half kappa, you know?
7/28Usagi: You're half kappa? I've never met a kappa before, well, save for today.
7/28Rika: Only technically half kappa... 86.47% kappa if you get down to it... Sister got all the magic in the deal.
7/28Usagi: And that shirowhatever thing? What's that?
7/28Rika: The best equivalent would be your soul, but it's not exactly the same.
7/28Usagi: ...And it's located in the ass...? That's a bit of an odd place to keep a soul-like thing...
7/28Rika: It's not like I put it there! Besides, I don't think I could extract it, even If I wanted to.
7/28Usagi: So, where to now?
7/28Rika: up the river, I suppose. Unless you know where one of your friends are?
7/28Usagi: Not sure... We were on a mountain, and then I found myself not on the mountain, and human...
7/28Rika: Except not human... *grabs a stick and pokes her gut* That isn't normal for a human to look quite like that, after all.
7/28Usagi: *shugs* I could always BITE you and see if I become half kappa... Not that I know if I can mimic things that aren't pure...
7/28Rika: *blanches for a second* I'll hold out on that, thanks. Not quite one interested in being bitten. How about this, since I know where mama is... kinda, we can just go around and find one of your friends first. How about that?
7/28(just saying that I'm going to be going to a wedding for a while... and it's a 2 1/2 hour drive.)
7/28Usagi: Well, if you say so... But it seems a bit selfish to ask that of you...
7/28Rika: Well, it's a wonder that I haven't attracted more attention. We 'are' riding a giant tank around the home of tengu-

???: Stop right there, criminal scum!
7/28(Aww, okay *hugz* [*gropes*])

Usagi: Ehh? But I'm not moving...
7/28???: You are moving a large military shrine around the mountain, the tengu home. That right there is a crime! Now pay the fine, or serve your sentence.

Rika: Who is it up there... Oh, hey Momiji. Been stealing games from Hatate recently?
7/28(Thanks. *hugs back* [hey! save that for after the reception *wink*])
7/28Usagi: Games? ...Stealing? And to think, you call us criminals...
7/28(Hooray! I hath returned! Finally! Oh, that's a long drive up into the mountains...)

Momiji: I do not 'steal' games from her. I merely borrow them from her, and return them.

Rika: Heh, you sound like mom there. She always likes to borrow stuff...
7/28Usagi: Your mother is... Marisa? Wow, and I thought that Yukari being Reimu's mother was odd...

(Yay! You were missed! *hugz* [*grope*])
7/28Rika: Yeah, she was. Well, one of them. Remember, timey wimey ball and all that? But I always took the most after mom... Sister took the most after mama. Lucky duck...

(Glad to know that. *hugs back* And you seem rather enthusiastic about groping me. :P)
7/28(Whoops, hand slipped. Again. [I love to grope!])
7/28(Of course, of course. [Should mine also have?])
7/28Usagi: But you don't look even slightly like an ice fairy...
7/28(Think nothing of it! [Ohh, that would be lovely~!)
7/28Rika: Did I ever say that I was?
7/28(Crap, now mine has done and gone. [Nothing like a pinch of the butt to say hello.])
7/28Usagi: But Marisa is...
7/28(Eep! [Eheh~ That hurt so good!])
7/28Rika: The Marisa that is my mother is human... *blinks* Something tells me that you may have been transported dimensionally... or perhaps I have... Or something else.

Momiji: I'm standing right here! And it's not helping your ticket...
7/28(Sorry, sorry [*pats your butt to make sure it's ok*])
7/28Usagi: ...That WOULD explain why you had didn't seem to care that big sis Remi is dead in your time...
7/28(Eep! [*presses into the patting* Mmm...])
7/28Rika: Exactly. She was a bit of a bitch, last that I remember. Maybe I'll be lucky, and it's the one you know instead...
7/28Usagi: That'd be great! I'd rather not meet a bitchy version of my sister...
7/28(So sorry... [Do I need to kiss it and make it better, or just keep doing the same?])
7/28Rika: I was being nice when I called her that, too...

Momiji: Alright, that's it, I'm bringing you in. Hands up-

Rika: *takes finger off other red button as she watches her fly away* Oh, I do love the non-directional laser...
7/28(B-but, you keep on doing it! [The same! I love such attention...])
7/28Usagi: ...And what of big sis Flan? Is she evil, too?
7/28(...You don't seem like you mind it...[*gives a nice squeeze*])
7/28(I-I don't know what you're talking about...! [*Moans lightly*])
7/28Rika: No, she's a wonderful lady. Everything that you might expect the lady of a mansion to be. ...But she only became that after her sister's death. Until then... she was kept as a prisoner in her own home.
7/28(Alright, sorry... [*lets go*] I thought...)
7/28Usagi: ...And now I wish to kill that Remilia... How dare she imprison my big sister!

(N-n... [No, don't stop! Do more, and more!])
7/28Rika: Because she's strong enough to do it. But she'll get killed in time... As long as I don't interfere too much.

(You want another hug? *hugs* [*puts hands just outside groping range*])
7/28(*Squirms and whines* [*leans butt toward the hand*])

Usagi: And is there anything you know on my other friends...?
7/28Rika: *puts it back into gear and starts it along the road again* Depends. If it's actually my world... Wriggle is probably the nicest gal you'll ever meet. A bit strange after everything that happened upstream, but still, nice as you can be. Mystia still runs her shack on the side of her road, and she still is trying to shack up with Wriggle
7/28(*chuckles* [*puts hands on rear and lifts you up and towards me*] That more like it?)
7/28Usagi: Huh... In my world, Wriggle and Aya are an item.
7/28(Y-y-y... Yes...)
7/28Rika: Really? I could never have imagined that... Aya is married to her work where I come from. Momiji there is the only one who really interacts with her when she isn't busy with her job. Which is always.
7/28(*just continues to grope for a little while* That good enough for ya?)
7/28Usagi: I hear my world's Aya is hated by most every Tengu, save for Tenma and Wriggle.
7/28(*Pants happily*)
7/28Rika: Well, she does have her ways, but she's not 'bad'... Just a reporter. Hrm... Now, were there any others?
7/28(*chuckles and pats head* good girl :P Anything else?)
7/28Cirno, and Daiyousei, and Mima. Also, Yuuka just a bit. She did kinda possess me for a bit, and we got along well enough...
7/28(U-Umm... [Anything! Anything~!])
7/28Rika: The two fae of the lake? I'm not too sure about them... But I've never trusted Daiyousei. I can tell you more about the goddess, though.

(*puts hand on chest* Your hearts beating so fast... [*gropes chest*])
7/28(*purrs happily*)

Usagi: Goddess? In my world, she was a shrine maiden who ended up killing her twin sister Miko out of jealousy... Due to gap, she also technically killed herself... Ahh, and Rumia. Also, why not trust Dai?
7/28Rika: She's shifty. Not who she seems to be. I did learn from a thief, after all. You gotta know who you can trust... *crests over a hill, and takes a turn to the right into the forest of magic*
7/28(*gives a nice twist of the nipple, before patting her gently* ok, enough fun for now)
7/28Usagi: And Mima, and Rumia? Ohh, and the Mima and Rumia of my world are old friends, and more recently, lovers. Those two look so cute together...
7/28(*yelps in pleasure and pain* O-okay... [Aww...])
7/28Rika: Mima's mom's old mentor... well, as much as one as an evil goddess can. *accidentally runs over a tree* Oops... But anyways, she's pretty good, and loves mom. But Rumia... *thinks for a second* Can't say I've ever met her.
7/28(And if we keep that up, we'll be at it all night)
7/28[Eheh~]

Usagi: Well, atleast that's one thing the same... The Mima and Marisa from my world have that relation, too...
7/28Rika: That's good! At least there's nothing too crazy... *looks back at her* Of course, I'm going to have to do tests later, to determine if you are different. Why, if we are right, we might even meet your copy!
7/28(you would, wouldn't you?)
7/28Usagi: That'd be interesting! I wonder if she's still a mimic... And what do you mean by "different"?
7/28Rika: Eheh, I wonder if you're built the same way... If you have the same dna, same blood type... same number of organs...
7/28Usagi: You try and find out that last one the manual way, and I'm finding out if I can mimic you... hard...

(M-maybe... [Yes! Yeeees!])
7/28Rika: Eh, we'd see about that. Besides, that's not flash enough for me. I'd just danmaku you, and check you out that way.

(I feel as if I have unleashed a monster... That'll jump me when I least expect it.)
7/28(And now you see why that part of me is Koishi! XD Heck, I'm not even letting her say half the things she wishes to...)

Usagi: What's a Danmaku...?
7/28Rika: It's how we fight. Shooting lots of bullets at each other... Magical bullets. Like what I just did to Momiji back there.

(I can see... Kinda wondering what it would be like to meet her. *snickers* Wonder which hand you'd try to shake. :P)
7/28Usagi: Really...? I've never seen any bullets in my world, I don't think... just a few lasers, and a great deal of melee... Such as when I was stabbed by Mima, dismembered by Mima, and stabbed by Mystia... Ohh, and hit on the head with a tree by Yukari for some reason... Can't remember why, though... Then there was that time I raced a hole in a lake of blood, won, and ended up headbutting some girl. I think her name was Elly... And that time I bit Rumia, and turned into a youkai of darkness... It's actually why I have these teeth, as she has teeth like these...
7/28Rika: *fiddles with a few levers as she crashed over another tree. accidentally* Really? I would have imagined the spell card system was necessary... but if all of your people just use physical violence, either they have great degrees of self control... *sighs in frustration* is why I'm not allowed to use Sigma...
7/28Usagi: And then there was that one time Mima, Marisa, Rumia, Flandre, and I were surrounded on all sides by a literal army of ice pixies, which are evil fairies. ...After that I ended up being worshiped by 14 of them as a goddess of pleasure... *sigh* ...Who's Sigma?
7/28Rika: *snickers* Oh, you should hear the things that mom told mama... But oh well. Sigma is my normal tank... Who's too good to use.
7/28Usagi: Ahh, and... I know that Marisa is your mother, but... who's the other one? Also, how can a weapon be too good...?
7/28Rika: I did say I was looking for mama, didn't I? ...I don't exactly know where her cave is, as she never liked to talk about it. And when Yukari has trouble against it in a danmaku battle, it's too good.
7/28Usagi: I don't see why... That seems like "almost good enough" in my book... That reminds me of the time that Mima, Cirno, and I faught Yukari, while I was possessed by Yuuka... We won, and all were turned human, as Cirno called her a *whispers* hag.
7/28Rika: Hrm, that is possible. Then again, It was bad enough when Yukari had to kill Chen on my end... *runs over another tree, revealing a house beyond*
7/28Usagi: Wait, so Nitori is a kappa...? Well, now I know more about the one that girl that Marisa had make a huge magnifying glass... We had a disagreement about how to make a bigger laser. She said that firing 4 lasers in a cone would make a bigger one, while I said a magnifying glass would. And so, we tried both.
7/28Rika: Yup. See, firing four lasers in a cone would work if the lasers were a vector force. However, since lasers are composed of light, both being a particle and a wave, they would pass through each other, and not magnify. A glass, on the other hand, should make a bigger one that is less powerful per square inch of impact, or a smaller one that is more powerful.
7/28Usagi: We ended up with two holes in Youkai Mountain... They both worked, and both made huge, strong lasers. No idea how, though...
7/29Rika: Eh, this is Gensokyo. common sense and all that rot. There are a lot of things that shouldn't work. And I'm surprised you haven't asked how mom and mama had my sister and I... Although, considerings this is Gensokyo. *drives right by the window, wehre a doll is staring forlornly out*
7/29Usagi: ...Why is there a doll look out that window...?
7/29Rika: *slams on the brakes* Eh, a doll? *looks around* Oh, that's alice's house... But where is Alice?
7/29Usagi: Beats me...
7/29Rika: Hrm... should we go check it out?
7/29Usagi: Might as well... What's the worst that could happen?
7/29Rika: We get a lance up our ass. But we might as well. *puts the tank into park and begins shutdown sequence*
7/29Usagi: Worse things have happened to me...
7/29Rika: Sounds like you've had quite a fine time. *slides down the side as the engine whines shut* Come on, we need to go around front. Maybe she's just busy, or some...thing... crap. *looks at the door, which is teetering from one hinge. and in splinters*
7/29Usagi: *gets goosebumps* Well, I'm a bit scared now... I miss being a fairy...
7/29Rika: Yeah... let's hope what little kappa I have in me is strong enough to keep me alive... *walks in, taking in the scene of destruction. Oddly enough, there is not one doll in sight. Or in pieces. Especially odd, as everything else is*
7/29Usagi: ...Where's the doll I saw earlier? It's not by the window anymore....
7/29Rika: *looks right behind her head* Err, Usagi? Look behind... *Before anything can be said, the chalk-white doll pokes her in the back of her skull*
7/29Usagi: Kyaaaaaaa!! *spins around and trys to grab at any eyes, but finds none*
7/29Chalk-White Doll: *waves her forward and floats down the hall*

Rika: ...So, I think it wants us to follow it...
7/29Usagi: ...As you're tougher, you first...
7/29Rika: Alright. *steps behind the doll, and through the hall. The doll leads into a side door, which contains a spiral staircase* Oh dear... that's a long way down.
7/29Usagi: Well, we're already this far, so why not go farther...?
7/29Rika: If you insist. *leads her down the staircase, which goes so far down that it takes a few minutes. At the end, reaches a large expanse of a room, with workbenches lined up everywhere, forges filled with still molten metal, and rack upon rack of doll-sized weapons*
7/29Usagi: Well, I hope we don't get attacked by anything small enough to use those weapons...
7/29Chalk-White Doll: *pounds on a door on the far side, before yanking on the handle without success*
7/29Usagi: You think she wants us to bust the door down...?
7/29Rika: Or maybe she can't open it on her own.
7/29Usagi: *attempts to open the door with the strength of a little girl, failing horribly*
7/29Rika: *pulls open the door with Usagi, causing it to fall open. Along with Rika* Ooph. There's that done. ...What do you see in there?
7/29Usagi: *holds hand to mouth* That's... That's horrible...
7/29Rika: *looks over her shoulder, and then up* ...Indeed... I think we found the dolls, though... *from the ceiling, what must be hundreds of dolls are all hanging, nooses around their neck*
7/29Usagi: Why would anyone...?
7/29Rika: I don't know, but... *looks in the corner, where a larger dolls is sprawled out over a chair*
7/29Usagi: That's one big doll...
7/29Rika: That it is... But she doesn't make them this size, does she? *Carefully walks over, past all of the dolls. Behind the larger than life doll, the Chalk-White doll pokes her head out, attempting to turn over the bigger doll's head. Eventually, as Rika nears it, it pops over, revealing a familiar face, with blue eyes and framed by golden hair*
7/29Usagi: It looks remarkably life-like...
7/29Rika: *stares between the big doll, and the little doll* This... This isn't something Alice made. This is...

Doll: *nods*
7/29Usagi: What? What is it, girl? Is Alice stuck in the well?
7/29Doll: *shakes her head in frustration and points at the bigger doll*

Rika: The doll IS Alice. Isn't it?
7/29Rika: ...Is this abnormal...? I've never met anyone by that name...
7/29Rika: Wait a second. Who was that? *spins around* Where are you, Usagi?
7/29(err, oops.)
7/29(Eh, can just roll with it. XD)
7/29(But I don't know how to! XD; )
7/29(Just have Usagi say that she was just hearing things. But whatever did it made the voice?

Oh, and Poor alice. Usagi doesn't even know that this isn't right. XD)
7/29Usagi: *clears throat* You're just hearing things. ...I wonder what would happen if I bit her...
7/29Doll: *immediately shakes head, before knocking on her own head*

Rika: You'd probably turn into a wooden doll. And unless you've figured out how to get around without strings...
7/29Usagi: Wait, if a doll needs strings, how does this one move...?
7/29Doll: *Scratches her head, before shrugging*

Rika: That's right... You're not Shanghai, or Hourai. Just who are you?

Doll: *begins to do a cossack dance in midair*

Rika: That, and Chalk-White... Russian Doll? Moscow!
7/29Usagi: ...If there are other moving dolls, where are they...?
7/29Moscow: *points up and away from the house*
7/29Usagi: ...They left? Why?
7/29Moscow: *mimes putting her hands over her eyes like glasses*
7/29Usagi: What's your view on that one, Rika...? I'm lost...
7/29Rika: *shrugs* I've no earthly idea...

Moscow: *stamps her foots and flies over, tugging on Usagi's hair*
7/29Usagi: Oww, oww, oww...!
7/29Moscow: *Drops the hair, but points at the door whence they came*
7/29Usagi: ...That way...?
7/29Moscow: *nods*
7/29Usagi: *goes to the door and opens it*
7/29Moscow: *rubs her head, then points at herself, then at the dolls hanging from the ceiling, and then points out the door*
7/29Usagi: Little help here, Rika...?
7/29Rika: Hrm... The other dolls went out to... look for someone?

Moscow: *throws hands up in air in celebration*
7/29(if you can't tell, I suck at charades)
7/29(I can. Quite easily.)

Usagi: But who...?
7/29(XD I suppose I'll stay away from truly quiet characters then...)

Rika: Moscow, do you know how to write?

Moscow: *shakes head*

Rika: Dammit, no way to tell... Unless you can lead us to them?
7/29*Waits expectantly by the door*
7/29Rika: *blushes* Sorry, Usagi... Go ahead, you can lead out.

Moscow: *leads the two out of the creepy building*
7/29*follows in silence*
7/29Rika: *whispers to her* You ok?
7/29*brow twitches* Yes.
7/29Rika: *raises an eyebrow* Ok... *Climbs up in the tank* now, which way, dolly? *checks navigational system in direction of doll's point* ...Crap...
7/29What?
7/29You wanted to go see if your sisters are your sisters, right?
7/29I guess...
7/29Well, the only direction she's pointing us in is the SDM. *sighs, and puts the tank into drive* Let's go see who's waiting, aye?
7/29Maybe we should me a quick detour to Misty Lake, just to be sure of what reality this is...
7/29Well, considering the SDM is on an island in the middle of the lake... Sure, we can. *crumbles through another few trees before reaching a road out*
7/29Ehh? The Mansion I know of is a little past the shore of the lake...
7/29...You might say that Remilia is into redecorating.
7/29One time, I actually made a glacier in the center of the lake, back when I was in the growing phase of a Fae... Turned my ice wings from four swords to four bladed hoops, but I had to make my wings explode by overclocking my ice powers... Still haven't been as strong as I was for that short while, before my wings exploded, the glacier exploded, Cirno lost a hand, and my back was torn up rather badly... I have this odd skill with ice when I'm an ice pixie that lets me drill holes into both liquid and frozen liquid. Quite useful for getting to the bottom of a lake full of blood, but it takes a great deal of concentration, and I, like the idiot I am, decided to dive in. Ended up being chased by the blood, while the hole collapsed on top of me, and exploded as soon as the gate closed, as the holes always do that once they refill...
7/29Rika: Yeah, I can imagine. Sounds like you've had quite your share of adventures there. Still, sword wings? Sounds like a pretty good idea... quite flashy, ain't it? Still, how does one drill a whole in a liquid? Do you create a vortex around it, or do you magically hold it apart? *drives along the road, before taking a right turn, crashing through some trees and onto the lakeshore*
7/29Usagi: Honestly, I have no idea... I think the liquid at the bottom compresses, untill there is a layer of semi-solid water that when disturbed explodes sending giant, lethally fast spheres of water or shards of ice to rain down upon a large area... If not for Cirno, the two of us would have been crushed to death! Anyway, as I'm not naturally an ice pixie, I have no idea how to use their powers... Cirno's my teacher, best friend, and l-love... The way I ended up drilling a hole was, instead of calling water to my hand, I called the water to the water by accident, forming a swirling, sunken hole...
7/29Rika: That is an interesting power... Ice fairy with manipulation of water and ice? Especially in a circular motion. Centripital related powers, perhaps? ...Have you tried to use your powers since?
7/29Usagi: Even as a fae, I was still too weak to freeze the water in the air, or gather the water from the air... I only had the power of two pairs of wings, compared to Cirno's 3. If I could still, It'll obviously be weakened even lower than that of a single pair...
7/29Rika: Well, go ahead and try. Knowing magic, they may have simply been hidden from you. You DO have your teeth, after all.
7/29Usagi: True... I guess I'll try it once we reach the lake. Though, that may be a bad idea if you don't have anything to shield us with...
7/29Rika: *pats the tank* This ol gal should keep us protected... Besides, if it can't take hits from a fairy, it shouldn't be going into battle at all.
7/29Usagi: I suppose... Then again, didn't a kick break it a bit? I'd say balls of water heavy enough to break trees would perhaps do some bad...
7/29Rika: Well, that was the treads. They are rather touchy at the moment... But the main hull should be good enough.
7/29Usagi: If you say so...
7/29Rika: That I do. *rumbles along down to the beach of the lake* Well, we're here... And yeah, there's the mansion in the middle of the lake.
7/29Usagi: Guess that means that this is your world! Guess I have no reason to try an greet anyone... *sighs and points a hand at the water, trying her hardest to make it double in on itself* I feel it working, but... I don't see it... Must be a... a really small... hole... *she grits her teeth in strain, and pours her entire being into her effort, making a hole in the water the size of a basket ball*
7/29Rika: *gets off the tank and walks forward, examining the hole* Interesting. Definitely magical in origin, as it is a concave hole, not convex... Hrm. Still, got a little bit of it. Maybe someone kind find out... And you can try and find your friends. Who knows if anyone else got transported over here.
7/29Usagi: It's... I-it's gonna... explode... soon... *trembles*
7/29Rika: *alarmed, and almost dashes behind tank, before stopping* Let it go Usagi. Let it flow out.
7/29Usagi: *tries to ease off, but it explodes soon after she tries to, and she watches as the orbs all fly upwards, and are as large as basketballs* ...Small... *quickly hides, hoping they don't reach behind the tank*
7/29Rika: Oh crap... Where's Elly when you need her... *jumps behind the tank with her, pulling out a panel and activating button* Countermeasures countermeasures... Here we go!
7/29*notices the orbs do, in fact, seem to be spread far enough, so begins to curl up in fear*
7/29Rika: *shrine on top of tank trundles to the side, spreading out its slats. A few tubes appear from within, each launching missiles at the orbs* See if I can disperse everything enough for most of the shots to dissipate.
7/29*upon getting hit, the orbs break into many baseball sized orbs*
7/29Rika: *keeps pounding buttons, sending more and more up* Come on, hit more of them, machine! No big explosions, lots of small explosions. Flashier that way, da ze~
7/29*they explode into marble sized orbs, blotting out the sky*
7/29Rika: So I see how it is, then. Usagi, your orbs may blot out the sky, but I will fight in the shade! *presses the biggest button on the controller, and the tank begins to rumble*
7/29Usagi: If missiles aren't working, why not use some sort of shield...? *less scared, as the orbs look less lethal now*
7/29Rika: Usagi, tell me how to make an omelet. *one large cannon comes out of the top of the shrine and points up towards the orbs*
7/29Usagi: You need 4+ eggs, some cheese, vegies, and some ice to cool it down afterwards...?
7/29Rika: Mom always told me that to make an omelet, you need to spark a few eggs! *cannon begins to glow as energy charges within*
7/29Usagi: ...I do think that would ruin i- *cut off by the cannon*
7/29Rika: Take this! 「Love Sign」Master Spark! *cannon goes quiet, before a love-coloured beam shoots out the front of it and at the spheres*
7/29Usagi: *after it wears off a spark-sized hole is left in the incoming wall of stinging orbs*
7/29Rika: Better than nothing! Keep firing! *cannon revs up again and again, continuing to fire*
7/29*All of the water being evaporated begins to make a mist*
7/29Rika: *cannon gives one last shot, before smoking and falling silent. There we go... I think that works well, eh?
7/29*The mist begins to blanket the ground* I guess so... I'm glad that was only like 10% the usual size!
7/29Rika: *grins* me too! Or I'd have had to broken out the big guns.
7/29Usagi: So, I take it that the Cirno and Daiyousei of this world don't live here? I'm sure they would have noticed us by now...
7/29Dai: Or perhaps I am not dumb enough to show myself when such a powerful weapon is firing.

Rika: Crap... *begins mashing buttons, wildly looking about for the fae*
7/29Usagi: Hi! Do you know me? Or are you from this world? *grins happily, exposing her shark-like teeth* Also, where are you...? Ahh, wait, I see your eye!
7/29Dai: Hrm, I cannot say that I do... And while your visage is that of a youkai, you have the stench of a human... *casts another glamour, in an attempt to conceal herself* And I pray tell that I have become so incompetent that my eyes are showing.
7/29Usagi: Hey, can I bite you? Just a bit? *eyes follow the position of the now moving eye* Also, I don't know if one can turn that eye invisible!
7/29Dai: Hrmph. Perhaps, if you can catch me...
7/29Usagi: Maybe I would, if I felt like making you go kyuu... *follows the eye with her eyes* Though, you don't seem like a pressing threat, so I see no reason to try and disable you!
7/29(I just realized how evil I could be right here to Usagi... And I'm gonna try not to be too bad.)

Dai: Heh, really? Just goes to show how ignorant you are. You say you have me within your grasp, and are unable to carry through? It just shows how weak you are.
7/29Usagi: *shrugs* You are one of my friends, in another world. Though I do have your eye ready for the crushin' if you turn out to be as mean as Rika says. Also, your invisibility's starting to fade a bit... *magical resistance kicking in*
7/29Cirno: *bursts out of the woods* Who said anything about crushing Dai's eye?

Dai: *under her breath* about time, numnuts...
7/29Usagi: Only if she were to try and harm me would I do such a thing. *blushes upon seeing Cirno, even if it wasn't the right one* ...Hi Cirno~ *smiles happily*
7/29Cirno: Then why did Dai tell me to get you two? *looks blankly between Dai and Usagi* She doesn't look like she's doing anything, Dai. *looks at Usagi, and gives a faint grin before waving back*
7/29Usagi: We're just having a friendly enough conversation, where we discuss the advantages of me biteing her, against not! *grins toothily*
7/29Cirno: *alarmed, flies up to Usagi, poking finger in her chest* No! No biting Dai! She's my bestest friend!

Rika: *quietly* Careful, Usa...
7/29Usagi: *shivers* Okay, okay... Can I give you a nibble?
7/29Cirno: *blinks nervously before backing away* Will it... will it hurt?
7/29Usagi: ...Probably a bit... Ahh, or I could just kiss you, if that's fine! Spit's a body fluid, too...
7/29(This plot seems to have been derailed a great deal! XD Not that I mind, really!)
7/29(I'll get it back on track relatively quickly. :P )

Cirno: *shivers* Well, you don't look like you want to... hurt... me... *offers a hand out, while looking away*
7/29(Is this for a nibble? Also, I don't really mind whatever happens! XD)
7/29(A nibble XD)
7/29*Gently slips a tooth across her wrist, and laps up the of freezing blood, swallowing it, even if it hurt her insides a fair bit* Thank you. *kisses the wound* I'm going to... black out for a bit now, Rika... It's what I... do... *collapses, and slowly starts to freeze over*
7/29Rika: Well, I'll be damned. *leans down and sets her body over onto the tank, laying it out of the dirt* She still does have her power...

Cirno: *Jerks hand away while staring at it* That was... weird... Where's Miss Letty, I need to go... *flies away into the air*

Dai: Dammit, this is not helping.
7/29*Usagi's body now is covered in a thin layer of ice, which is slowly growing*
7/29Rika: Hrm... *sets up a scanner while placing a metal probe on her stomach to measure how high the ice rises*
7/29*the ice quickly creeps up the probe, and the ice is just about the size of an two Usagis at this point, when it stops growing*
7/29Rika: Very interesting... Such an exothermic reaction out of that? The blood was the catalyst for her reaction, but the innate energy of the girl.
7/29*after another few minutes, her cacoon of ice began to turn to dust, and swirl into the shape of four crystaline hoops, and harden, sharpening into blades*
7/29Rika: Ok, I'm not even going to bother with the readings... Bloody fliers...

Moscow: *pats him on shoulder*

Rika: *jumps* Wah! Where'd you come from?
7/29*starts to heavily radiate cold, and begins to stir*
7/29Rika: *shakes head* Never mind... *pokes her with the probe* You there, Usagi?
7/29*eyes flutter open* Ugh... So sore... My stomach, and head, especially... *feels teeth* Yep, my teeth are the same as always... Hey, are my sclera black? Or white?
7/29Rika: *grabs her head and peers into her eyes* Nope, your eyes are still white, far as I can tell... *looks at the wings* I wonder how sharp those are, though...
7/29...Don't your hands hurt...? Also, where did Cirno go? By the way, I see the eye of an invisible person standing behind you...
7/29Dai: *curses and stabs Rika, hitting the bone instead of flesh as she jerks to the side*
7/29Well, that looked painfull...
7/29Rika: Gah! *falls to the side, reaching inside of the tank* Need... to get... Sigma...

Dai: Oh, no you don't... *leaps forward*
7/29*slashes with her wing* Cut that out, Dai!
7/29Dai: Dammit! Gonna take the chance to get another human out of this world... Bah. *fades away, before running*
7/29...Kyuu. *flicks the running eye, to see if anything would happen*
7/29Dai: *shivers, before taking the opportunity to blink away.*
7/29Hmm... Seems I'm far less able to kyuu... You okay, Rika...? Need some ice for that wound, maybe?
7/29*peers over from the inside of the tank* Need to bandage it... I heal slowly, not like a youkai...
7/29...Well, that sucks...
7/29Indeed... *grunts in pain as she wraps a bandage around her midsection* Shouldn't be too bad... at least I'm resistant to diseases... kinda.
7/29If only shoving ice in the wound would fix it... One of the perks I enjoy of being an ice fairy~ Need me to fetch anything?
7/29Sure. Some rubbing alcohol, some burning alcohol, and some alcohol to drink... *sighs* Nah, nevermind, I think I'll be good...
7/29The offer's still open for me to numb the wound~
7/29Nah, I need it. Pain's a good motivator. And it reminds me that I'm still alive. *pulls self to the top of the tank* Oh well, we're good. But I don't think we'll be fording this lake tonight...
7/29I suppose we'll just have to sleep, huh? ...Though, won't Dai be back...?
7/29Eh, we'll lock down the tank, after driving a ways back into the forest. She's actually not that strong... Just sneaky. I think she uses Cirno as her muscle.
7/29Poor Cirno...
7/29Good thing that everything is better in the future... well, mostly. But come on, we need to trundle back for a bit.
7/29Okay! *comes with* ...I wonder why I'm not a pixie... I mean, it's not like coming here has absolved me of eating human flesh, I don't think...
7/29*shrugs* Because you have to obey the rules of this reality, probably. and since there are no pixies here...
7/29I guess that makes sense... Huh... There sure a large number of eyes in the woods...
7/29Possibly the fairies, or the Lilys, or the kendama. Or one of the yukkuri, if you're lucky enough to find them.
7/29But... isn't Lily a fairy? ...Also, what's a kendama, or a yukkuri...?
7/29Technically, she is... But there are the fairies, and then there are 'fae'. And a kendama or a yukkuri... Don't worry about it too much. The latter are nearly extinct, and the former are just puffballs.
7/29In my world, fairies are just lesser fae... the number of wings is the decider as to their strength... Yuuka and Dai, for example, are a single twenty wing! Atleast, when they fuse together...
7/29I see... But there are only two types of Fae... The spring and the winter. Dai and Cirno are the winter fae... While the Lily's are the spring. They are only... slightly more friendly than the winter.
7/29In my world, Lily is kinda mean... She replaced Yuuka as the herald, while Yuuka/Dai took the role of Avatar of Spring...
7/29Well, our Lily is nice... But if you're not careful, she'll take you and mold her into one of her sisters... a brand new Lily.
7/29That doesn't sound so bad... Also, what do you mean by "mold"?
7/29*blanches* they shape you in mind and body...The glamour sinks in, and becomes real.
7/29I've never heard of such a thing... As far as I know, the only way to become a fae is by way of eating herald blood-soaked fairy dust... Well, in my world... Wait, if I'm a fairy from this world, does that mean I could do it...?
7/29Possibly... At the moment, you fit all taxonomical specifications for a fae... So possibly. Remeber, they've had centuries to perfect it... So anything you do might end up badly. Best to stick to simple illusions, if you're capable at all.
7/29All I know how to do is kyuu things, and to manipulate liquids and ice... Maybe I should try it on an animal some time, if I can figure out how to do it...
7/29You could always try it on a tree, too. Not like there's plenty of them around here.
7/29But where would find out how to use it from...? Just... ask the next fae I meet...? That doesn't seem wise, judging by what's happened thus far...
7/29Probably not. And you wouldn't want to ask a Lily. They wouldn't want the competition. Just... do it, I suppose. It's like the first time you build yourself a cannon out of tin foil and paper clips. You just have to do it.
7/29I've never tried that...? *walks over to a tree, and tries various things* *focuses hard on the tree, and finds it frosting over* ...That's not it...
7/29Well, you have to 'want' it to be, something else. Imagine the tree is you. *shrugs* Mind you, I'm just guessing...
7/29*tries that, and the tree slowly turns into Cirno* C-Cirno...?! *it fades back to normal*
7/29There! Now you just need to keep doing that... Just focus on the little things... *points exaggeratedly, but just pulls her side* ow, don't need to do that...
7/29Though, if it works like that, couldn't one turn things into ANYTHING, and not JUST fae, permanently...? *imagines the tree is Rika* *The tree warps into being Rika*
7/29Rika: I suppose so... But we haven't exactly had many altruistic fae. Although, the victim either has to have a tenuous grip on reality such as another fae, or must be subjected to it for months to be permanent... Although, it takes only a few days to make it long lasting.
7/29Wow, you sure do know a lot about fae!
7/29I come from the future. And I read bad ends.
7/29(Ok, that was a bit too meta, there...)
7/29Bad ends...?
7/29That is, I've read a lot about the bad ends of what happens to travellers. Some get out, and they are able to turn back, but they are never quite the same. Not to mention we 'do' have one in the family...
7/29...How can the end of a story be in the family...?
7/29No, no! Not a story, a fae. *sighs and leans against tank* Getting my tongue all twisted...
7/29Wait, who...? You said that Marisa isn't one here!
7/29Did I ever say Marisa was one? Just that there is one in the family... My great-great aunt, I think she is.
7/29(I just realized how convoluted my family tree just got)
7/29So... You have fae blood in you? ...Does that mean that you should be able to do illusions and such...?
7/29Nope, doesn't work that way. Besides, she never has had children, so it couldn't have worked its way in.
7/29Than, who was she related to...?
7/29She was Marisa's great aunt, taken when she was a young child and... changed into a fae. Completely warped. As of now, she doesn't remember who she was.
7/29(...That sounds familiar...)

Really? What's her name?
7/29*cheeky grin* You just offered to kiss her a little while ago.
7/29(HAH! I was right...)

E-ehh...? You're... related to Cirno...? ...And Dai tried to kill you because of that, or?
7/29(Yup! Oh what a tangled web we weave...)

Only technically... And I don't even know her well, even in the future. Spends most of her time with Miss Letty. But no one now knows who I am. Except you...
7/29That raises a question, actually... Why go back in time...? You remind me of Kogasa a bit, who used the gaps that Yukari taught her to go back in time by twenty thousand years, gap herself into looking like Yukari, and taught herself to use gaps a number of years before she went back in time......
7/29Erm... *blushes, before rubbing back of head* I was hoping you'd not ask that... You might say it was an... accident. And not, at the same time... I wanted to go back and see Gensokyo, and got a little hasty...
7/29Well, atleast it's not as odd as Yukari teaching herself by way of being a different Yukari...
7/29Eh, that's not too odd. It 'is' Yukari, we're talking about...
7/29But it's a paradox...!
7/29And that is why I'm going out of the way from actually telling Cirno who I am. Could you imagine how she'd react? Or, by the stars, Mom and Mama don't know each other well at this point! I have no idea what would happen if they began on a bad note...
7/29Yukari: Time is one continueous thing, kid~ You can't just change it, as it will turn out that you already tried that... Such as when I tried to save Sanae's life... It turned out I was the cause of her death! *sigh*

Usagi: ...Which Yukari is that...?

Yukari: Take a guess, little bunny~

Usagi: ...Nevermind...
7/29Rika: Oh, hello there. And that's... rather unfortunate. Sad to hear that she died. Ours was a pretty good one, always had her head screwed on straight.
7/29Yukari: And ours was always a bit off... Eventually went truely insane when she looked had a stareing contest with the lunar rabbit... However, she stopped exterminating youkai after that, and became more dere than yan... And then we fell in love! *sigh*
7/29Rika: That is intriguing... I would never have imagined you with her... *glances around* I'm surprised that we haven't seen a fox, though...
7/29Yukari: The real question is, is why is this version of my lands unwarded...? Every single other one is...
7/29Rika: Warded against yourself? Umm... *glances around* Not sure if I should be telling you why, right here...
7/29Yukari: Well, I don't want thousands of myself running about...
7/29Rika: True... That's all assuming your version of you is well enough to do such a thing... But I shouldn't be speaking where the foxes are listening.
7/29Yukari: Ahh, so Ran's evil, huh...? Interesting~ Maybe I'll go tease her a bit...
7/29Rika: Be... careful... Oh, what the heck, you'll do whatever you want. Never mind...
7/29Yukari: I could always pretend to be the Yukari from here, and see just how surprised she is that I'm healthy~ It's so rare that I surprise people these days~

Usagi: You surprise me every time you pop up... Anyways, were you the one that turned me human and sent me here...?

Yukari: Maaaybe~
7/29Rika: Was there any particular reason? Or were you just fooling around again?
7/29Yukari: Curiosity killed the cat~ ...Wait...

Usagi: ...This doesn't bode well...
7/29Rika: Indeed, it doesn't... *peers out of tank* Who did you kill, Yukari? Even just a little?
7/29Yukari: Ahh, well, I accidentally killed Chen the other day, and had to reverse the border of life and death~
7/29Rika: Well... I don't suppose you should have bothered... She stays dead anyways. *Shrugs*
7/30Yukari: My Chen, not yours~
7/30Rika: Eh, close enough. It's within five sigma variation.
7/30Yukari: So~ How does your Yukari act, anywho?
7/30Rika: She sleeps... a lot. And she mostly delegates everything to her shikigami, anyways. *quietly* At least now...
7/30Yukari: Anything I should pretend to find out about~?
7/30Rika: Whatever you want... You might have to be slightly serious to full the fox though...
7/30Yukari: That's a simple task.

Usagi: ...And that's the most serious I think I've seen her...
7/30Rika: I can believe it... *crashes through yet another grove* I think Wriggle's gonna be mad at me, at this rate...
7/30Usagi: I can imagine...

Yukari: Well, I'd best go scold "my" shikigami now. Maybe she'll be taught a lesson in some sort of catagory, too...
7/30Rika: Now that might be fun... *digs around in the tank* dangit, I don't have my camcorder... was going to get you to tape it.
7/30Yukari: *shugs* I'm already going to have Ran record it, from a border of invisibility.
7/30Rika: Heh, now that is amusing... *snickers* I just hope yours is a lot more... sympathetic, than ours.
7/30Yukari: She can be a bit cruel if you harm her cat, but she's still my sweet little pet fox...
7/30Rika: At least the pet hasn't devoured the hand it feeds from
7/30Yukari: True... So, simple saying that I feel far better than before should work, correct?
7/30Rika: Depends on how you phrase it... And I don't really know for sure what's wrong with her, only that she's sleeping a lot... I don't believe she's sick, though. Just unable to get up for the majority of the year.
7/30Yukari: Do you think she'd buy me saying I'm actually asleep? I mean, I do manipulate the border of dreams to an extent... Not as much as before Daiyousei took it, and then Mima took it from her, and then Cirno took it from her... Though, it's been much easier ever since Cirno took it~ Not that that matters here.
7/30Rika: I've no earthly idea. That there is something you'd have to find out for yourself...
7/30Yukari: Well, farewell little mostly-kappa, and Usagi.
7/30Rika: Mostly human, actually. And... farewell, I suppose. Don't have too much fun now.
7/30(Ohhhh, I thought you meant 85% kappa...)

Yukari: I do doubt that you mean that... *sinks back into gap*
7/30(Nah, that's her sister)

Rika: I'm quite sure... Not like we have plenty to worry about as it is... *stops the tank, grinding the gears as it slowly halts* But I think we're far enough from the lake, as it is. And there isn't... too much to worry about here.
7/30Usagi: Plus, I'm able to see eyes, and use them as a form of radar! Like with Dai...
7/30Rika: That'd be good... Wait, even when asleep? Or do you not need to?
7/30Usagi: If I see any that don't look familiar, I'll likely wake up...
7/30Rika: That's useful... Here I was about to think you were like one of those youkai that could go for days on end without sleep... Lucky...
7/30Usagi: Well, I'm also one of those... *giggles* However, I'm still not at 100%, and I was just human...
7/30Rika: Yeah, yeah, I get it. *grumbles to herself* Well, I'm gonna lock down in here. I have enough room if you want to set up a place.
7/30Usagi: And freeze you to death...? No thank you...
7/30Rika: *shrug* just thought I'd ask. Night, then.
7/30Usagi: Thanks anyways... *flutters up into a tree with a paricularly thick branch* G'night...
7/30Rika: *slams the hatch of the tank shut, and proceeds to lock everything down*
7/30(Currently thinking on how to proceed)
7/30*slowly drifts off to sleep*
7/30(Heh, just go with the flow! XD It's what works best in RPs imo)
7/30(Yup yup, but I'm leaving a min, so I have a little while to think it over. But as for now... I know how to start it)

Rika: *quickly falls to sleep, drooling over one of the modulators within the cabin. Hours tick by, until she is woken by the sound of wood hitting the hatch*
7/30(Did the tank drive off in the night?)
7/30(nope, the tank hasn't moved. Something is 'hitting' the hatch)
7/30Usagi: *looks about groggily at for the source of the odd sound*
7/30Rika: *grumbles and shouts up at the sound* Yeah, yeah, give me a min...
7/30Usagi: *rubs eyes* What was that...? *Looks around, and eventually focuses on the hatch*
7/30???: Up, I say! I've been meaning to have a word with you blighters, and it's not a minute too soon! It's not like we've any tea and scones to be waiting for, now come on!
7/30*Flutters down* Hi, Wriggle! *grins*
7/30Wriggle: *spins around, before doffing her hat, and twirling her cane again to tap on the hatch* Top of the mornin' to ya, fair lady! I've been attempting to rouse the owner of this mechanical contraption. By chance, might you be said owner?
7/30Usagi: I would think not! However, I must say that I do know the owner! Why? What business have you with her?
7/30Wriggle: *adjusts her monocle, then looks down at the girl* Well, I do believe that I must be asking how she will be recompensing me for the damage she has done to my forest. Quite a veritable amount of destruction, all over the place. Granted, the majority was old growth that was scheduled to be demolished, but the young growth had decades in its life.
7/30Usagi: I wonder why she's yet to come out...? Your knocking woke ME up, so I can imagine it worked on her, too!
7/30Rika: *at that moment, hatch slams open, with the mussy haired girl poking out* Yeah, what is it- Oh, hello Wriggle.

Wriggle: *gives her a thin smile. Greetings, stranger. So you already know of me? Then perhaps you might know why I'm here.

(Sorry... Got wrangled. For another pow-wow)
7/30(Heh)

Usagi: *twiddles thumbs for lack of anything to add*
7/30(My bad... I suppose I should have finished it all in one go?)

Rika: Possibly... *glances about* You're hear about the trees, aren't you? Listen, I'm sorry, we were just-

Wriggle: *stamps her cane on the metal again* Enough. I understand what you are attempting to say. But before you get your knickers in a twist, take a moment and think, instead of blowing a load of tosh. How may of my trees did you run over?

Rika: *counts for a moment mentally* A few... dozen... score?

Wriggle. 'Exactly'. And what should I do with one who treats my home so horribly? *turns to Usagi* What say you, little fairy?
7/30Usagi: Uhh... I guess get them tho help rebuild it...? *shrugs* I'm not one for revenge and such, myself. Why? What do you plan?
7/30Wriggle: Simple, you owe me... a 'favor'. *leans forward, and bonks the top of Rika's head with her cane* A good deal of that forest was due to be burned down... But now, I have to burn each one manually, or wait for it to rot. It is quite... Unsavory, in my opinion. And time consuming.

Rika: What is this payment?

Wriggle: Whatever I want old bean. Whatever I want.

Rika: *shivers* Alright... but... Can you tell us the best way to make it across the lake?

Wriggle: Why should I? 'You' owe me a favor... not the other way around.
7/30Usagi: Than can you tell me? I don't owe you a favor, so I guess I could offer a favor as payment...? J-just nothing too odd, if you accept... *blushes*
7/30Wriggle: Hrm? I suppose I could do such a thing... You'll simply owe myself one, later. I shan't be asking you to pay for what 'she' has done... And I suppose I've been slightly off kilter, eh wot? *bows her head slightly towards Usagi* My apologies if I have been standoffish.
7/30Usagi: Well, a good number of trees were destroyed, so it's to be accept... What say you, Rika?
7/30Rika: Nothing wrong with it, I suppose. Just don't be forcing much from her, alright?

Wriggle: Very well. Information for information sound sperfectly acceptable by my regards.
7/30Usagi: Thank you, Wriggle! *gives a chilling hug*
7/30Wriggle: *chuckles and pats her head* You're most welcome, little bean. But I'll be off... But for as to getting across the lake... There might be an old turtle you can talk into helping you. At the lake about half a mile southwest. *glances back at Rika* But I suggest you either walk, or take the long way around. No driving through my forest again.
7/30Usagi: Eheh~ Thank you, Wriggle! *lets go* You're just as nice as the Wriggle from my world!
7/30Wriggle: I do try. Now farewell.

Rika: *watches her fly away* Well, damn. All she needs is an umbrella and carpetbag... But bah. Nothing to do. But old turtle? Can she mean...
7/30Usagi: I've never met a turtle before... You?
7/30Rika: Me neither... Well, kappa are technically 'part' turtle, but not genetically, only taxonomically. But a true turtle... Hrm. Not exactly many lakes... *pauses* Wait a second. Can you fly?
7/30Usagi: Yeah! *flutters wings a bit so as to leave the ground* But only as a fae or vampire... Not sure how to as a bunny, or a black puding...
7/30Rika: Well, look to the southwest, and tell me what you can see that away. Misty Lake's north-northwest, I believe... *blinks* Wait, you can become food?
7/30Usagi: *sigh* It's a kind of Ooze... It's what the Rumia from my world is... ...Also, which way is south-west? I'm not very good at directions...
7/30Rika: Sorry... Never heard of anything like that. Didn't mean to offend. And you see the sun? Put it behind you, and look left.
7/30Usagi: Okay! *Extremely slowly flys upwards* Sorry, but I never did figure out speed... *gradually rises* Cirno usually holds my hand, as we can share speed rather easily...
7/30Rika: It's fine... It's a long day ahead of us... *under her breath* Although, I'd rather not encounter a vampire at night...
7/30Usagi: *Finally reaches a good height* *Shouts* Ahh, the Hakurei Shrine is in that direction. Hey, I'm gonna fall now, so catch me, okay?
7/30Rika: *eyes widen* Ah, crap... *shouts* Alright! Just... fall slowly!
7/30Usagi: I'll... try...? I'm not so good at flight... *falls jerkilly*
7/30Rika: *holds arms out, but has to leap out of hatch to grab her from the air* Oof! You're... actually lighter than you look.
7/30Usagi: Eheh~ Thank you! *happily grins toothily*
7/30Rika: *pats her head* There there... You're welcome. It is probably due to all of the ice, to be honest... Makes you extremely light. *sets her down* But the Hakurei Shrine? Hrm... If we go back the way we came, we might find the road.
7/30Usagi: *stomach growls* *tries to ignore the wonderful smell of Rika, but stares while drooling regardless*
7/30Rika: *raises her eyebrow, before smacking her head* Yup, definitely more youkai now. But if you eat me... *sighs, before digging into the tank* I have some provisions, but it's not much... And not very meaty.
7/30Usagi: A-ahh! Sorry... It's just, you smell so good now that my nose is sensetive again... *wipes away drool* *looks up at the sky* ...Also, it's going to rain soon!
7/30Rika: *shakes her head* At least the shrine top is still functional, even if the cannon isn't... *climbs back into hatch* Come on. I'll get us out of here... and hand you some food. I could go for some myself.
7/30Usagi: *throws hand up in the air in glee* Yay! I'll be sure to catch some meat tonight! *grins predatorally* It'll never know what hit it, when I get it's throat~
7/30Rika: *leans in, and tosses up some bars while putting it in reverse* Not much to say... And you don't have to be quite so...
7/30Usagi: *tilts head* So, what...? *smiles warmly, as though she wasn't just talking about ripping out throats with her teeth*
7/30Rika: I'd rather not be reminded of just what I'm toting around, honestly. Or how easily you could rip me in two.
7/30Usagi: But why would I do that...? Unless it's a full moon, I'm not about to try eating you! You're my friend! *giggles* Silly... Plus, my strength is only as good as that of a human! Stupid full moon almost made me eat Cirno, when she was human for a week... Though, I was also far more dangerous at the time, as I was a vampire~
7/30Rika: Eh, don't remind me, at least for a while. Leave me able to pretend. But thank you... friend. *cringes at the snapping of logs* I'm not running over anything new, am I?
7/30Usagi: I don't think... Also, as a precaution, when is the next full moon...?
7/30Rika: *checks her watch* It's only a few tens of thousands of minutes away... Umm.. a week. My bad.
7/30Usagi: I hope we stay friends for the rest of your life! Also, I hope that's not a week! *giggles* The night of the full moon, be sure to lock yourself away before night~ I'll not be able to reach you, in that case... I'll probably go wild at around midnight, but it's better to be safe~ That is, if we are still together by then...
7/30Rika: I'll remember that... Thank you for the warning. And hopefully, we'll be able to get you home by then. Hrm... Would it help if you weren't an ice fairy? It sounds like you've mimicked quite a few things...
7/30Usagi: Anything else, and my strength would be above that of a human... It might turn out badly, if that were the case. ...Plus, I like being immortal. Furthermore, I'd have to either nibble or kiss someone to turn into anything else... However, it only works on other youkai.
7/30Rika: Ah, I'd see... Not even if you took a bite off the three fairies of light? They aren't exactly strong...
7/30Usagi: I'd still keep these teeth. I've yet to learn of any way to have normal teeth, save for ripping them out. And, I'm sure you can understand why I still have them, hmm? Plus, they are so useful for... various things...
7/30Rika: Uch, yeah, I see. Mostly scaring humans too, I bet. Just... be careful. We'll be treading on human lands soon enough. They might react badly if you show off your teeth so easily.
7/30Usagi: Only human I've met was Marisa before she became a weak little ice fae, and Sakuya... I've yet to have a need to scare humans.
7/30Rika: Well, count yourself lucky. We're going to visit the biggest one of 'them all. *blinks* Not literally. The opposite of the literal definition, but... bah.
7/30Usagi: Who?
7/30Rika: The Hakurei.
7/30Usagi: Ehh? Reimu's a human here...? She's a donation box, where I come from...
7/30Rika: *turns blue* That's... that's...
7/30Usagi: And Yukari is her mama! ...Her father being a goddess...
7/30Rika: Interesting... Very interesting... Sad to say that our Hakurei is 100% human, in case you were wondering. That just seemed like such a fitting thing, all things considered.
7/30Usagi: I know, right? I was surprised, to say the least... Never getting donations... Even when Yukari kept that from her, she was already eating fear by way of chasing youkai around...
7/30Rika: Yup. Ours doesn't get many donations, although she seems to take it out on everyone else. Very... serious, for a shrine maiden.
7/30Usagi: Ours is very hard-working, but the humans are all rotten, I hear... She does all she can for them, asking for nothing but requests for donations... Eating emotions, and nothing else, is hardly healthy... She was slowly wasteing away, you know...? She hadn't a single think to eat in six months, or anything to drink in two as of the day she mooched off of the last cook-out, as of her being oblivious to herself. And she thought nothing of it! Nothing of not aging after hitting adulthood, either...
7/30Rika: *rubs her chin, accidentally knocking the tank slightly into the side of the road* That is... very odd. And potentially dangerous. If she keeps not noticing those things, what will happen when something incredibly bad happens to Gensokyo? ...She still is the shrine maiden of Paradise, is she not?
7/30Usagi: Well, she still stopped Cirno, Letty, Marisa, and I from overing Gensoukyo in ice... She's strong, and yet, I feel as though very many people could take her if they seriously tried... Cirno was about on par with her, and she was going all out, as she wasn't so easy to freeze to death anymore!
7/30Rika: Not to say anything against Cirno, but your Reimu must be a bit... weak. I would be afraid to face her... Even with all of those that you mentioned... Heck, even me, Rikako, Mom and Mama... It would be tough... Especially if we broke the rules.
7/30Usagi: And my worlds Yukari being quite strong... One time, I found her spell cards... There were over 100 of them, and then some! She gave the border of dreams a corporeal form, and summoned a dragon...

Yukari: Aww, shucks~ Though, it seems that this world has a rather strong verson of myself, too! She created Hakyugokurou, after all... Me, I just stuck it to the side of Gensoukyo! And jeez, the Yuyuko from here is just plain depressing! Though, she's quite sharp... knew that I wasn't the one she knew. Though, Ran was priceless! She went so pale!
7/30Rika: Oh, I can imagine... What did she say when she saw... 'you' up and about? This 'has to be good... *chuckles while 'finally' coming over to the main road to the human village*
7/30Yukari: Why not just watch...? *waves a VHS in the air*
7/30Rika: ... *blank stare* What is that?
7/30(Ah, to be from the future... and ignorant. XD)
7/30Yukari: It's what came before The DVD, before the Blueray, child~ Such things aren't even slightly forgotten, so I don't have easy access to them~
7/30Rika: Never seen one of them... Mama figured out how to make a magical record that was better than the other disks, but that's not for.... What, 40 years? 50?
7/30Yukari: 23, in my world. She's far more... in contact with the other kappa, even if she tends to shy away from them. As such, she had help. Heck, even Patchouli helped her, at the behest of Tokiko... Patches really did speed it along...
7/30Rika: Makes sense. She did have that time where she was completely on her own for fifteen years... But then, at the battle for Moscow... *sighs* Oh, now that's a long story...
7/30Yukari: *giggles* I'm sure it is! *An old style TV with a VHS slot comes out of a gap, which actually belonged to Usagi before she was spirited away*
7/30Rika: That 'does' look old... and quite used. Sheesh, is that made out of 'plastic'? But I suppose you want to know, don't you? It was after the start of the invasion... Mom was helping her Great-Great Aunt and her best friend on the front lines. Never before where there was a place where the belief in winter was so strong... and so needed. General Winter herself stepped forward, and with her cold, drove back the Lunarians.
7/30Yukari: Ahh, lunarians... How I detest them, save for Kaguya, Eirin, and Mokou. *pops to VHS in*
7/30Rika: Kikuri's not too bad... Although, our version of you had to stick her in hell for two millenia to get to that point. Plus, she had 'that' human... Well, then it turned out that Mama came riding in with reinforcements, just when the human allies of the lunarians snuck in to deal a blow to our side. And that was the time when they... Kicked it off, so to speak.
7/30Yukari: I don't know she exists in my reality... Anyways, it seems to be starting...

Yukari: *Walks out of gap* Hello, Ran.
7/31(So, falls to me to be Ran? Fine then :P)

Ran: *blinks, still scribbling on a pad of paper* Hello, Yukari. *Stops, then twirls around, shaking* Wha- what? Yukari? What are... What are you doing out of your bed? *tail tries to swallow the paper*
7/31Video Yukari: My, I sure had a long rest - not that it's over. I actually over-came the need to sleep, but am technically actually asleep right now. I finally found a work-around for sleeping... I just had to manipulate the border of dreams a bit, and here I stand. I wonder why I never tried that before... Well, I suppose hindsight IS twenty-twenty... Ohh, and what is that you would be hiding, Ran? May I see? I mean, what could you possibly be hiding from me?

Usagi: ...You actually sound serious...

Yukari: I know, right~?
7/31Ran: *narrows her eyes, before giving an innocent smile and removing her tail* Nothing at all. Just a letter to Chen, since she's been spending so much of her time out and about. Just a nice little gap, and she already has it. No worries master!

Rika: Heh, I wonder... I know Yukari slept a long time around here, but exactly 'how' long, I don't know...
7/31Video Yukari: *narrows eyes* Really, now...? It shouldn't matter if I see it, now should it...? Unless, you are lieing through your teeth? Are you, Ran? Do you really think you can pull the wool over my eyes so easily? With age comes many gifts, as you should know... I can tell lies from truths quite easily, you know, Ran...
7/31Ran: *nostrils flare, and immediately begins to look around with her spare hand* Really? What would I be fooling you about, Master? I've been taking care of Gensokyo just as you've asked, without a complain from within or without. Whatever seems to be the problem?
7/31Video Yukari: I did not just now wake up, Ran.
7/31Ran: Then, when did you?
7/31Video Yukari: I watched. You. This land. ...Chen. Now, I'll ask you once more. What is on the paper, Ran?
7/31Ran: The location of a particularly... troublesome body. Human, who had ideas above his station. I am merely attempting to... depose of said human, before it becomes a threat.
7/31Video Yukari: And what, pray tell, would those ideas be? *her eyes were growing colder by the minute*
7/31Ran: *eyes shift around, looking for an exit* Oh, the human was merely upsetting the balance of the land. Agitating one of the goddesses, setting her up against another. Introducing pan-dimensional travelers to the village proper... Blowing up part of Youkai mountain... Making Makai take another look at their role in Gensokyo... Not to mention it was getting all buddy buddy with your friend, Yuyuko.
7/31Video Yukari: Really, now? The best you could come up with is befriending my friend, making Makai reflect upon itself, blowing up a mountain, helping one from another world, annoying a goddess and helping another? Really? Furthermore, I was the one who gave him the idea to go on this silly little journey *lies through teeth on that one* It was the very first thing I did, so as to see how my land is doing. Short answer: I don't like what you've let happen... He's more done your job than you have, and he's risking his life to do it...
7/31Ran: *Grinds her teeth* Of course you'd cause it to happen... Without telling me about it, too? 'It' does not matter, anyways... It's dead... And it hasn't managed to come back from the dead, this time. *blinks, and stares down Yukari, her tails beginning to twitch to and fro* And, what do you not like in my management of your land, master?
7/31Video Yukari: ...Tell me, what should I like? Truely, it has been a long time. Give me your aegis, so that I might tear it down. What are your reasons for doing this...? If they are good enough, I just might forgive you a tad... I HAVE been asleep for a great deal of time. Ohh, and I'm not telling you what I already have seen, so as to see just how much you lie, fox. *gaps off every doorway* And no running, unless you wish to join the boy in hell...
7/31(Just thought, it's a good thing you haven't given an order, otherwise, she would have noticed the shikigami contract not kicking in...)

Ran: *nose twitches visibly, before taking a breath* My reasons for doing what, Yukari? I am merely an arbiter of your will. Gensokyo must be kept stable... Must be kept from unraveling. It is with that tenant that I follow through on my orders. Anyone upsetting the balance to any degree at all, interfering with the status quo... You yourself have allowed quite a few disturbances to go unchecked, but it has been my duty to fix them, as always.
7/31(Why do you think she hasn't? XD)

Video Yukari: More detailed, Ran... There are things even I know not of.
7/31Ran: *sighs, and presses her palm to her forehead* Where to begin? The stupid curse goddess of the mountain... ever since she slipped in, she's caused nothing but trouble. Nothing at all. And she's too slippery for me to get my hands on. Ever since the underground opened up, the blind satori has slipped out, and has the potential to cause calamity wherever she goes. Not to mention letting that thief run the new temple... Why did you let her stay? There's no need for buddhists here... And, it doesn't help with the vast amount of power you've given the Hakurei...
7/31Video: Everyone needs a backup plan, and she's mine. In the event of you failing, she's there to do what you don't and to keep... an extent of peace. Furthermore, that blind satori is simply acting much like any youkai would without reason... However, I find it hard to believe that you couldn't hand one pesky curse goddess... Now, do go on.
7/31Ran: The Mishaguji herself? That is certainly a tough one. Just the littlest bit of misfortune, and those gaps of yours fall apart. But the satori was sent away for a reason... And now, the fae are starting to gear up for war, which could catch everyone in the crossfire... Plus, that dimensional traveler is the one from the android's. The one which had the ones searching for the meaning of magic, a few years back? *rubs her head* Not to mention that the dragon herself is getting involved, and the Hakurei 'goddess' is stirring... By themselves, I could handle them, but they are happening all at once. It will tear this land apart.
7/31Video Yukari: If one cannot fight someone directly, one must strike from the dark, where one least expects it... Isn't that right, Ran?
7/31Ran: *jumps in seat, looking at Yukari with wild eyes* What do you mean? Why would you accuse me of such a thing?
7/31Video Yukari: Whatever do you mean? I just imagined that you would know a thing or two on the subject... Though, now that you mention it...
7/31Ran: *hisses at herself* What?
7/31Video Yukari: That sleep had a bit of a trace to it... As though it were un-natural... And you have a similar trace to you... Why is that, Ran? *Eyes grow sharp as knives*
7/31Ran: Nothing unnatural, Yukari. I've just been using more and more of your power... I have to keep it under control, somehow. And with so much happening...
7/31Video Yukari: Hoh, did you really think I'd buy that? You are the cause of my sleep, are you not? Now, all that remains is why...
7/31Ran: I still don't know why you're accusing me of such things... Are you letting your paranoia bleed over with one of your gaps? It's not a good thing.
7/31Yukari: *Face contorts to into a sadistic grin* Why, ohh why, ohh why... Maybe you were hungry for power? I mean, I did give you just about free rein... A vague order, which you twisted...
7/31Ran: Of the things I may desire, Yukari, I only care for my shikigami and your well being. I do not know where you are thinking of these things... Wait a minute... *eyes narrow*
7/31Yukari: *grin widens*
7/31Ran: ...Liar! *claws extend, while a gap opens up* You are not her! Who are you to come into our home!
7/31Yukari: *chuckles* Why, I'm Yukari~! Wasn't that much much obvious...? Jeez, you were so scared, too~! Though, I wonder what would happen if I introduced the Yukari you know to the border of dreams...? I really can do that, you know~ *catches a fan from a gap, and begins to fan herself*
7/31Ran: *narrows her eyes and hisses* Leave now, Or I will tear you from limb to limb, like the miserable old hag that you are!
7/31Guy: (You're having a lot of fun with Yukari, I believe)
7/31Yukari: ...Hag? Ohoho, you just had to say that word, didn't you... Now, what should I do...? Turn you human? Make you regret everything you've done? ...Wake your Yukari~?
7/31Yukari: (Guy? What are you doing here?)
7/31(My bad, please ignore XD. The name carried over accidentally. Meant to talk to you.)
7/31Ran: You can do nothing to me... All that is done with my death can be easily remedied by summoning me again. So do your worst... and I'll do mine to you... *attempts to alter the boundary between Yukari's blood and acid*
7/31Yukari: *alters the border of targeting Yukari and targeting ones self* Ohh, that's going to hurt~
7/31Ran: *alters the boundary straight back* I can do this all day, you know.

(Two reality warpers fighting, with the same power... Who will win?)
7/31Yukari: *alters the boundry between yukari and yukari* I wonder if that'll wake her...
7/31*voices moans in the back of the building*

Ran: *opens a gap over the other Yukari and drops a spike through it* If I hurt both of you, you'll be injured eventually... Enough for me to drive off.
7/31Yukari: Ohh, my, that hurt ever so much~ *alters border between herself being imapaled and Ran being impaled* It's been so long since I last fought my own powers~ Last time was back when I was but a young karakasa~
7/31Ran: *gags and falls to the ground, not before attempting to gap off Yukari's feet* Damned... fool. You'll destroy everything...
7/31(I'm really starting to wonder how exactly Yukari could go about losing this... XD; I mean, my Yukari is next to immortal...)

Yukari: *trades places with Ran* Truely?
7/31(XD, not easily. And Ran is effectively immortal as long as she can be summoned back, and my Yukari is as close as possible... That's the problem with fighting at this level)

Ran: Truly. *alters the boundary between quiet and noise, blasting away at Yukari's eardrums with as piercing and shirll as noise as possible*
7/31Yukari: *Switches places with Ran again*
7/31Ran: Damn... You...
7/31Yukari: And now I have the advantage of not being heard~ Hey, Ran, you're still there, right?

Ran: *from inside the unseen gap* Yes, Lady Yukari?
7/31Ran: *scrambles across the ground towards her*
7/31Yukari: Would you work on waking the other Yukari up? Don't be too obvious about it, now. *dodges the fox, and sends her into the ceiling by way of gap*
7/31Ran: *gasping for breath, starts to summon as many gaps as possible, everywhere*
7/31Yukari: *Swaps the ownership of the gaps and closes them all at once*

*Video changes to Yukari's room*

Ran: *reaches into a gap that is beside this Yukari that the Yukari she knows had opened*
7/31Yukari: *snores*
7/31Ran: *messes around in the exact way being instructed to*
7/31Yukari: *snores loudly*
7/31(Not gonna make that one easy. XP)
7/31(I wasn't expecting it to be! XD)

Ran: *continues doing as told*
7/31Yukari: *unconsciously summons a gap and drops a brick on the Ran's head*
7/31*camera shakes*

Ran: ...Oww... *keeps on trying to fix whatever it is that her master things is the issue*
7/31Yukari: *swats away, before muttering in her sleep* mo... ha... g...
7/31Ran: *blocks each swat the best she can, and keeps working*
7/31Yukari: *begins singing to herself in her sleep* Momiji and Hatate, sitting in a tree...
7/31Ran: ...Ehh? Those two are an item in this world, too...? Interesting... *feels something shift in the gap* Ehh?
7/31Ran: Oh no you don't! *grabs the tails of the other Ran and tries to pull her through*
7/31Yukari: *elbow drops your Ran through a gap and into former hell* Keep up the good work, Ran! *hops in after her*
7/31Yukari: *snores*
7/31Ran: Chen.

Chen: *pops out of a gap* Yesh mashter? *looks at with puppy eyes full of glee*

Ran: *Nose bleed* Thank you. You may go. *Goes all out on the attempts to get this Yukari awake*

Chen: O-okay...? *hops back in*
7/31Yukari: *reaches out and grabs Ran, to use her as a pillow*
7/31Ran: *even if being used as a pillow, keeps doing as she was ordered* God dammit, Yukari...
7/31Yukari: *nuzzles her head* My fuzzy wuzzy...
7/31Ran: *chuckles and sets the camera down before stroking Yukari's hair* It's time to wake up, Yukari...
7/31Yukari: *buries head in her tails* No... Fuzzy wuzzy comfortablly
7/31Ran: *gets an idea* ...If you don't wake up, I'll not let you snuggle my tails ever again~
7/31Yukari: Noo... *eyes blink open* Whaaat is it, you're not normally like- *eyes sharpen, and she jerks up* Who. Are. You.
7/31Ran: Ahh, good. You're up. I'm Ran from another world. You've been betrayed by your own Ran, and my own Yukari is currently... distracting her, so as to buy me time. By way of toying with her. And if you don't believe me, I have it on tape... Not the best of proof, but it's something.
7/31Yukari: *glares at her, before sighing* I have been expecting something like this for quite some time. I knew I should have reacted sooner. *adjusts the boundaries of gravity and holds Ran in the air by the throat* Someone from beyond my land is coming, and trying to usurp me. Now that... That I can't accept. Through trickery such as this?
7/31Yukari: Ah-ah-ah, hands off my shiki. *cancels the border holding ran aloft* I've no interest in your lands~ I've a Gensoukyo of my own, so why would I want to double that...? *grins* Plus, this have you looked at the state of your land of late...? It's pretty bad... I even went back in time a week, just to give the whole place a once over!
7/31Yukari: *blinks, and just holds up Ran with her muscles* it seems perfectly fine to me, clone. And I would personally love to double my own Gensokyo. The magic that could be contained within... And what do you mean, bad? Have the youkai killed the shrine maiden off, and overrun the human village?
7/31Yukari: Not quite, but a great deal of things are going wrong... I mean, you've borders. Take a look for yourself. Furthermore, from what I've gathered in my week and a minute here, your Ran has been a rather bad girl... Now, if you'd let go of my Shiki, I'll send her home~ I simply had her wake you, as I've heard a bit about you being unable to wake up... Also, you may want to ward off your world, lest you get actual invades from other parts of the multiverse. I'm more of a... tourist, you could say.
7/31Yukari: *drops her on the floor* I'll believe it when I see it. Now, be off, before I have to take you out personally...
7/31Yukari: *opens a gap beneath Ran and creates an exact copy of the camcorder* Not the more... tamper-proof sort of thing, but I did have an interesting conversation with your shiki, while my Ran was recording~ Ta-ta~* *gaps self away*
7/31Yukari: *glares at her and walks over* Now what was... was... *yawn* why am I so... *slumps over on the floor*

Ran: *phases in* Now, now, can't be having that now, 'Yukarin'
7/31Yukari: My, you really do enjoy doing such things, huh?
7/31Ran: Not now. I've got work to do. *adjusts the border between this reality and a random one, phasing them out of existence*
7/31Yukari: *changes the target to Ran, and sees what happens*
7/31Ran: *phases in near the other Ran, curses, and leaves instantly*

(this is getting a bit ridiculous, eh?)
7/31(It is! XD However, seeing as Yukari is currently showing them the tape... She needs to, at the very least, stay around! XD)

Yukari: Yukari~ Wake up~
7/31(Yukari went with my Ran, though. XD And I know, but still, I thought just a good scare... Oh well, this isn't going to be canon, so I suppose it's fine. Still don't want it to be easy, though.)
7/31(I know! XD I already asumed it to be non-canon!)

Yukari: Aww, she vanished... Poo... I was hoping to right the wrongs of this world, too!
7/31(Ok. I was seeing if I could work anything in... But nah. Nothing will work now. Still, poor little Moscow...)

Rika: And... that's the wrap?
7/31*from the video*

Yukari: Indeed it is, Rika!
7/31Rika: ...Ok, nice joke. But still, that's... amusing. *glances at the real Yukari* Of course, Ran is going to be after you now.
7/31Yukari: Ohh, that much is certain! However, I'm quite tough, if you havn't noticed. I mean, I returned all her tricks, and she didn't even do more than impale me once~
7/31Rika: But she was off her game, and I'm certain if you let your guard down too much, she'll get you. But it depends on how much power she stole from Yukari...
7/31Yukari: *shrugs* Even if she stole all of it, she'd just be on par with me, or maybe a bit stronger. Worst case, I'll just retreat~ She'd lose the power, if she tried to follow me home, as she can't take Yukari with her. I still wonder why this place isn't warded, but I suppose I'll just leave myself a little foothold, just in case~
7/31Rika: Might as well. If she bothers to recruit any of the others, might have a fight on your hands. *shivers* especially if she gets Remilia on her side...
7/31Yukari: Though, what's this about a man that has caused her a curiously large amount of trouble? Also, if need be, I could always bring Daiyousei and Mima... Those two have my back and such, even if the former is a bit of the type to need her arm twisted... Ahh, and maybe I could recruit the Reimu from this world by way of a nice donation! I hear she's a bit strong...
7/31Rika: ...If you do that, be 'really' careful how you word it. And by that, I mean 'really' careful...
7/31Yukari: For example?
7/31Rika: Do not make it sound like you're attempting to buy her friendship. Ask her for a favor, maybe make a 'small' donation. Then give the rest once you're done. She's a very proud woman.
7/31Yukari: Reminds me of my little donation box... She's so cute when you stick donations in her... Seems to get off on it, much like how Hina does with curses... However, she doesn't like undeserved donations...
7/31Rika: Well, I'm pretty sure that Reimu is a bit more stingy... Plus a bit more of a hardass. Treat her with respect... Oh, and I'm pretty sure showing up 'not' looking like Yukari would help. And don't tick off the goddess, either...
7/31Yukari: I don't know... my kid went six months without food, even though she wasn't 100% broke...
7/31Rika: Point. Ours is a human, so she has to eat to survive. Depends on how you weigh the scale. Still, the point stands. Don't be condescending to the Hakurei Maiden, or the Goddess Hakurei.
7/31Yukari: Aye aye, captain~!
7/31Rika: Oh, and just as a curiosity... How strong are your vamps?
7/31Yukari: Remilia is a quite skilled, but her fate manipulation is a bit so-so, while Flandre... well, Flandre is one of the strongest around, even without the use of her unique ability... Kurumi is... moderate, I suppose.

Usagi: Who?

Yukari: Guard of the lake of blood.

Usagi: Ohhhhh...

Yukari: Ohh, and Usagi, even if she's currently cured of vampirism, is very... diplomatic, yet weak.
7/31Rika: Alright... I was just curious what you were used to... *looks back and forth* Be wary of Remilia. Very wary.
7/31Yukari: Yes, yes... I saw this, during the week I spent checking the place out.
7/31Rika: Roger that... I was just making sure. *pauses* Wait a second... Moscow, get out here.

Moscow: *floats out, and tilts her head*

Rika: Do you know what happened to Alice? And what we could do to help her?
7/31*doesn't really have anything to add*
7/31Rika: Well, just thought I'd ask. Didn't know if you've spotted everything... *sighs* but now, we've got to go into that mansion, and check on someone to ask to help. Right, Moscow?

Moscow: *emphatic nod*
7/31Yukari: I suppose I have nothing better to do, so I'll be joining you for a time~ It's not like I can turn the entire population male EVERY day...
7/31Rika & Moscow: *blinks in confusion*
7/31Usagi: She turned the entire population of Gensoukyo male for a few days one time...
7/31Rika: ...Now, that'd be funny... *chuckles heartily* Can you imagine? Yasaka all mad up because she lost all of her... faith? *begins to snicker*
7/31Yukari: *shugs* I think she was too busy checking herself out, what with the buldging muscles...
7/31Rika: ...*facepalm* nevermind. She'd be that conceited, wouldn't she?
7/31Yukari: I suppose. Though, Suwako was just... wow. She was a bit efeminate, and slightly childish... but... Well, she had an odd alure to her. ...And then there was Okuu, the tripod.
7/31Rika: *shivers* I don't want to think about it... Just thinking of them as male... no.
7/31Yukari: Nitori had such nice abs, too! Though, she insisted on wearing a skirt the whole time...
7/31Rika: No no! I do not want to hear about my mama like that! *covers ears with her hands*
7/31Yukari: Too bad Marisa was already a fae, and thus locked into being female... I'm sure she would have had a great body~
7/31Rika: La-de-da-deda!
7/31Usagi: I think you've hurt her head enough...

Yukari: Ohh, don't be like that~!
7/31Rika: I get enough of this from them with their cucumber sciences...
7/31Usagi: ...Cucumber... sciences? That sounds... what...?
7/31Rika: *blanches* How else would two girls reproduce?
7/31Usagi: ...Ehh...? How does that even... work...? I just figured it to be magic, or one of Eirins shady drugs, as I doubt Yukari is going to fool around like that in this world... She seems... a bit power hungry, really.
7/31Rika: Nope... The figured it out 'all' on their own... Mad scientist plus a mad magician... And I wouldn't know too well, myself. But she's not that bad, I do believe. She's just very serious compared to this one. *jerks thumb at Yukari*
8/01Yukari: *shrugs* Why not do both~? I simply have to work hard on entertaining myself, what with having just about run out of fun things to do~ If Sanae or Miko were still around, I'd have pleanty to stay busy with! I miss Sanae...

Usagi: But... Isn't she alive?

Yukari: Yes, but she'll die in something like 10-20 years... I forget the exact time. And this time, it'll be my fault...
8/01Rika: Well, don't be getting any crazy ideas with the one here... I don't think she'll like it much. But... why would it be your fault? Did you do something that kills here?
8/01Yukari: Back when I went by the name Kogasa, we were in love... but... she eventually aged, and was nearly killed by a youkai. In her death bed... I then asked Yukari for help... She tried so very hard, but... well... It didn't help, and instead killed her painlessly... I was an apprentice to Yukari at the time, and was slowly learning the ways of border manipulation. After losing Sanane, I vowed to get stronger, so I went back in time 20,000 years, and tried to get better at border manipulation that Yukari herself, and save Sanae... However... It turned out that we were that same person, and she did the same thing I'll have to do in a number of years... And as time cannot be changed, and simply flows... the outcome will be the same. Kogasa will come to me, when all else fails, and I'll fail, just as everything else did...
8/01Rika: Oh, I see... A stable time loop. Sorta like I am in now... Still, I can't imagine the little umbrella gettig so powerful... Even yuuka, old as she is, is only so strong. *reaches over to pat her shoulder gently* Still... I'm sorry that you had to go through that. Worst thing about having a long life, isn't it?
8/01Yukari: Heh, the Yuuka in my lands would be a close second... She's got the ultimate magic on her side, after all... However, unlike the one here, she's the grand fae. When her and Daiyousei reform into a single, twenty winged fairy... They are quite strong.
8/01Rika: True... Yuuka is a bit of a wild card, here. Friendly as she pleases, but one wrong word... Granted, that's how most of them operate here. But imagine a little flower growing to be that strong... Elly sure has her work cut out for her.
8/01Yukari: *shrug* The same could be said of my Gensoukyo... Especially the humans... If not for how pleasent this children of this generation are, I'd have torn the treaty in two, and told Rumia to eat them all...
8/01Rika: *shakes her head* Lovely, ain't it. I still think there must be something fundamentally wrong with your humans if they act like that. A curse or somesuch. Such deviation from the societal norm...
8/01Yukari: I call it extreme reacism... I instructed Keine to start a class on the ecology of youkai... It's really helping, and there have been no fatalities as of yet. The closest was when one of the children died for a couple minutes due to the bite of Yoshika. *chuckles* He was the most misbehaving child of the class, and he now has youkai-like teeth, as his were pushed out by those of a jiang shi...
8/01Rika: Hrm... I tell you, if that happened here... *shakes head* Whatever. Just don't try too much here. The humans wouldn't like such actions.
8/01Yukari: *shrugs* Honestly, I could care less about the status quo here... However, I hate seeing ...myself... in any sort of unjust situation.
8/01Rika: Understood, just giving you a fair warning. Just don't want you getting your butt handed to you by Akyuu. *rubs her own backside* Mine own still smarts at times...
8/01Yukari: ...Akyuu?
8/01Rika: no Hieda, yes. You know of her?
8/01Yukari: Yes, but not as to why she should be feared...
8/01Rika: How do I put this... Because she's the god-damned Akyuu? Not to mention that she took me on, with Sigma on her side, with but her bare fists. She won.
8/01Yukari: *raises eyebrow* ...How?
8/01Rika; She dodged all my shots, leaped up to the machine, and punched me out. Something Mom couldn't do with her broom
8/01Yukari: Odd...
8/01Rika: She's that good. Having all those memories does help...

(If you can't tell, I'm gonna have fun with Akyuu once I get to her... XD)
8/01(I could already! XD)

Yukari: Well, shall we go? *opens a gap large enough for the tank* Where to?
8/01Rika: *turns to Moscow* Are you sure? *at her nod, turns back to Yukari* Need to go find the mage in the SDM...
8/01Yukari: Well, all we need to do is drive on through, and park the tank~
8/01Rika: Roger that. *cranks it up, before driving through the gap and into darkness* Now, where are we...
8/01(Looks like one more for Ruukoto...)
8/01(Noooo! *pouts* Go Koishi! I know you can do it, Koishi!)

Yukari: In a nice little clearing behind the mansion.
8/01Rika: Well, now we get in... *looks around* Do you know where to go, Moscow?

Moscow: *shakes her head*
8/01(And it's ok, you'll get your Koishi time. I'm gonna write a one on one, like back in chapter 21 for both of them, so they get more screen time)
8/01Yukari: Well, I suppose we should get to walking, hmm~?

Usagi: Unless anyone else has a better idea, I agree with Yukari...
8/01Rika: Yeah... Crap. I hate being away from my tank. If I had a weapon...

Moscow: *sits on Rika's head and pats it happily*
8/01Yukari: Ahh, I have... a few weapons lieing about~ *opens gap* in there, you'll probably find somethingf to suit your fancy~

Usagi: ...You have things for every occasion, don't you?

Yukari: Maybe...
8/01Rika: Hrm... *searches the gap* Most of this stuff is rather archaic, compared to what I'm used to... With the exception of this rocket powered chainsaw. Gimme a sec, want to find something with good stopping power.
8/01Yukari: Just watch out for the portable pitfall.

Usagi: ...How does that even work...?
8/01Rika: The same way that Eiren was able to put the Earth in a bottle a few decades ago. *pulls out a six-gauge* Well, that ought to do it... Just hope there are enough rounds...
8/01Yukari: There are now~ *taps it with a finger*
8/01Rika: Heh, clever. Alright, let's go... Who wants point?
8/01Usagi: I could, as I would have to die many times to stay gone... I don't think that Yukari would take it, and you're as easy to kill as a human, right, Rika?
8/01Rika: Mostly human, but yeah. I don't heal very fast at all. And I'm... fragile.
8/01Usagi: I suppose I have point! *summons a pair of her wings to her hands* So, any idea where we should enter from? front door? break a window? Break the front door?
8/01Rika: Let's try to avoid breaking anything. I'm sure the maid would notice. If she hasn't already.
8/01Usagi: *pouts* fiiine...

Yukari: *opens a locked window by way of border* I think this'll do.
8/01Rika: *raises gun and speaks to self* Just like Godfather taught me... Ok, let's move!
8/01Usagi: *takes off shoes and sets them beside the window* Need to be stealthy, and those won't help. *silently hops though the window*

*Yukari simply floats on a gap through the window*

Usagi: * sticks head through window and loudly whispers* Can you make the jump?
8/01Rika: Yeah, I can make it... Just will take some doing. *eyes over the edge* A wee bit of a long one...
8/01Usagi: *dangles arm out the window and loudly wispers* Take my hand!
8/01Rika: *grabs it and slowly inches down the wall, Moscow on her head*
8/01Usagi: *begins to pull her in very slowly, untill Yukari places a solid border beneth her, giving her a step*
8/01(Ah, we're going up? I thought we were headed down. XD)

Rika: *grasps her hand and pushes up, falling into the window*
8/01(It's a window from ground level... XD; )

Usagi: *wipes brow* *all speaking from this point forward is whispers and loud whispers* There we go.
8/01(Aye, aye... I just imagined it as a basement window. And it was a long way down inside, see*

Rika: *nods mutely back, before raising the firearm*

*Moscow gives Usagi a thumbs up*
8/01Usagi: *begins to silently pad down the hall, her bladed ring-like wings at the ready*
8/01Rika: *walks down behind her, shotgun at the ready* You know where we might find help in yours?
8/01(In yours, as in?)
8/01(your SDM)
8/01(Who would 'she' ask for help... She doesn't know anybody that well in the SDM, just the stories)
8/01(ohhh I thought you meant as in her kind...)

Usagi: Well, the fairy maids are so-so, Sakuya is a loud noise away, Meiling is... dutiful, but constantly pretends to be asleep, Flan and Remi know the halls about as well as anyone, Koa, Patche, and Koa would be of no use, as they doesn't really leave the library, and Yoshika... she remembers little, let alone directions.
8/01Rika: Yoshika? Interesting... Hrm... *ponders* Wait, Patchy? You wouldn't happen to mean...
8/01Usagi: What? That's a bit too vague to go on...
8/01Rika: Patchouli Knowledge? I never met her uptime, but... I suppose she would be a resident here, then. I never really did think about it...
8/01Usagi: Well, technically all of those I listed are employees of Remi and Flan... Even if the scarlet family is broke. Sakuya grows fruits and vegis that never go bad in an instant, and they sell for a pretty penny... It's really the only thing the human village likes about our place...
8/01Rika: Gotcha, gotcha. *gazes around at the ornate trappings of the mansion* Still, I don't think these lack much for money. But alright... If I was Patchouli Knowledge, where would I be...
8/01Usagi: Looks quite similar in my world, but... far more scarlet. They aren't in debt, or the red, but they burned through the inheritence they recieved in the 450 years before Sakuya showed up...
8/01Rika: Yup. These... Well, Remilia and Sakuya are the ones we have to worry about... *turns and peers down across a grand hallway. A door leads both down, and one to the side*
8/01Usagi: ...Would freeing Flan make for a good distraction, or?
8/01Rika: Do we believe we can liberate her completely, or would we end up doing more harm? This is also assuming she hasn't been starved for blood....
8/01Usagi: True... I guess you have a point... *pouts* I'd hate to encounter Flan of all people when she's starved... I'll just assume that's one thing that is the same between worlds...
8/01Rika: Heh, there is never a good time to see a hungry vampire... But let's head to the far door then. Maybe we'll find Patchouli
8/01Usagi: *softly runs to the door, and eases it open a crack, looking inside*
8/01Rika: *cautiously follow, peeking inside along with her* What do you see?
8/01Usagi: Fairies... atleast 4 of them.
8/01Rika: Can you knock them out or take them out... 'quietly'?
8/01Usagi: Hmm... I can try, but Daiyousei only felt a little pleasure when I kyuued her...
8/01Rika: It'll at least distract them enough for me to knock 'em out, if it doesn't finish the business.
8/01Usagi: *concentrates hard on an eye per hand, causing the veins in her hand to pop out* Here goes... nothing... *clenches her hands as hard as she can, making the two fairies topple over and clutch at their groins, moaning and squirming about*
8/01Rika: *immediately runs over, clobbering the two not making a noise in the head with the butt of the gun, dropping them immediately*
8/01Yukari: *golf clap* Good work you two~ However... *gaps a fairy body into the pile* You missed one.
8/01Rika: Apologies. A bit dark with these candles... *glances down the hallway* Now where would a library be... Do you know, Moscow?

Moscow: *just shrugs and pats her head again*
8/01Usagi: *sniff* I smell blood to the left, so let's go right.
8/01Rika: *raises gun once again* Right behind you.
8/01Usagi: *quickly sneaks towards that direction, her wings once more in her hands*
8/01Rika: *leans on the door with one hand, and swings it open, pointing the gun inside*
8/01(It's your world, so it's a bit awkward for me to be the one deciding what we find! XD)

*On the other side is another long hallway*
8/01(Oh, I know, I know. I'll reveal the library once we get to the right door. XD Almost there)

Rika: Quickly, quickly, we've nobody ahead of us... *moves down the hallway, pointing at each opening as she passes*
8/01Usagi: *follows behind, looking to each door she passes with caution*
8/01Moscow: *jumps off the head, and begins to fly away*

Rika: Not now... *chases after the doll*
8/01Usagi: *follows in persuit*
8/01Rika: *stops at a grand set of doors at the end of the hallway, where Moscow was floating* So... this is where you want us to... go?
8/01(btw, 2-1 favor of Koishi)
8/01Usagi: *bumps into Rika from the sudden stop* Ahh. Sorry...
8/01Rika: *jumps, but keeps herself from twirling about to point the gun at her* It's ok, Usagi... *pats her on the shoulder* Don't worry much about it. *tepidly, she pushes against the door, and peers through* mein gott...

*stares into an absolutely room beyond. The wall must be at least 500 feet in diameter, much larger than the mansion should be from the outside. It rises toward the ceiling in a slow tapering spiral, an enormous staircase with ladders three stories tall attached to rails. In the center is yet another spiral bookcase, rising upwards beyond the edge of her sight.

On top of that, books flit to and fro about the room, a silent symphony of motion as they slot into and out of shelves. Small candles follow them about, as if someone invisible is attempting to catch and read them as they sort themselves out*
8/01Usagi: What, what is it? *too short to see around Rika*
8/01Rika: *opens the door wider for her to see*

(One of the things I hope to do one day is to build a lighthouse, and make a library out of it. XD hence this)
8/01Usagi: Woah...
8/01Rika: Think that someone... has enough books? No wonder Mom tries to steal them...
8/01Usagi: The Patche of my worl is much the same... *sigh*
8/01Rika: It's kinda an odd thought, now that I think about it. *sighs* But now, we have to find her...
8/01Usagi: Well... shall we go in?
8/01Rika: Sure... *creeps in, before padding on over the the edge of the staircase. peers down towards the very bottom, which is at least half a mile from where they are now*
8/01Usagi: *leans over the railing and looks down as well*
8/01Rika: That's a long way down. *feels a doll tapping on her shoulder* Not now, Moscow.

???: Oh? Do you not have enough time to greet the one who lives in the house you intrude?
8/01Usagi: *spins around, weapons at the ready*

Yukari: *calmly prepares for fate, space, and time manipulation*
8/01???: Please, do come in and sit. I have plenty to discuss. *spins her hat and floats away, book by her side.

Rika: *glances between stranger and Usagi* Is that...?

???: Yes, I am. Now 'come'
8/01Usagi: *lets go of wings and lets them float back to where they should be*
8/02???: *floats over the edge* Good, you've put away your arms. Now, to follow me... *floats over the edge, before falling over horizontally and descending rapidly*

Rika: ...Ok. That can't be safe...
8/02Yukari: One elevator coming up~ *party falls through gaps*
8/02???: You were aware that you could merely have followed my footsteps? I would not have you killed, at least so easily.
8/02Yukari: *shrug* Easier.

Usagi: *pulls self off the ground* More painful, though...

Yukari: For you, maybe~
8/02???: Still sit down. I'm curious as to who you are, and why you would go to such an effort to seek me out. Especially when you are fortunate enough to avoid the maid.
8/02Usagi: *sits*

Yukari: *sits on a gap* I'd preffer my own chair, if that's alright with you, miss knowledge.
8/02Patchouli: Of course, of course. Now where is your third... Ah, there she is...

Rika: *gets dumped out of another gap* Gah. Be careful next time, Moscow.

Moscow: *ignores her and flies over to Patchy*

Patchy: Well, hello there, little one... *pets her gently on the head*
8/02Usagi: *lifts a brow at the goings ons*
8/02Patchy: *looks up at the three, still stroking the doll's head* What is oddest, though, is how this one is out here all on her lonesome... Praytell, what has happened to her master?

Rika: That's the reason that we're here, actually. She wanted us to come find you to help... fix... Her.

Patchy: That should be too terribly horrible. But why me? What state is the puppeteer in now?
8/02Usagi: Well... She has become a puppet, somehow... A very, very large puppet - life sized, really.
8/02Patchouli: Indeed? *picks up a cup and sips at it.* That seems like quite the curse. But tell me... was her grimoire anywhere in sight?

Rika: Her... grimoire? *looks lost at Usagi*
8/02Usagi: There were no books around...
8/02Patchouli: *frowns* That... is not good. Not good at all. *strokes her chin* But who would want that book... besides everyone... The Grimoire of Alice, nee the Grimoire of Shinki, creator of Makai. With it, you could create life... A most powerful spellbook, for the most skilled of magicians...
8/02Yukari: The lands are not at a shortage when it comes to madwomen... Heck, I even had a run-in with one Ran Yakumo, who seemed to be... scheming, to say the least... By the way, I'm the Yukari from another Gensoukyo, in case you were wondering~
8/02Patchouli: Pish-posh, I deal with such disturbances enough. What with summoning from the other realms... Where is that kuma, anywho? Botherances. But think for a second. Who would have such a vendetta against the puppeteer that they'd go out of their way to do such a thing? As for Yakumo, since it is another source of power, she couldn't use it without her master's permission, so I think not.

Rika: Well, who could use it then? A magician? Someone like you?
8/02Yukari: Medicine?
8/02Patchouli: Possibly... She would hate humans and youkai alike, so the motivation is there.

Rika: Would she have hanged all of the dolls, though?
8/02Yukari: ...Ahh! Shanghai is known for hangings! But why would she do it, if that were the case? Hmm...
8/02Patchouli: *coughs lightly, before summoning a book to her hands* You're thinking too local... There was another magician that has tussled with the girl's mother... Over that very same book.
8/02Yukari: Well, I don't particularly know the ins and outs of this world. I can only go on speculation based on the relations of my own world. *shrugs* And the only other magicians who aren't local... Well, there's those two in Makai...

Usagi: *doesn't even know alice so stays silent*
8/02Patchouli: Hrm... *summons another book* Well, let me see... YUki and Mai are out, loyal as they are to Shinki... So whom else would have the connection... *finger trails down a page* Which would leave Marisa and the head of the Buddhist temple.

Rika: *shakes head emphatically* Mo- Marisa would never do that. So... Who is the head? Byakuren Hijiri?
8/02Usagi: Ahh! The nice, if a bit... two faced, lady? Well, atleast where I'm from she is... She pretty much hates humans, but gives them the benefit of the doubt, but showers youkai with kindness... Atleast, where I'm from she does...
8/02Rika: Don't know her myself. Didn't have too much trouble with the Buddhists, and never bothered to interact with them much...

Patchouli: Nothing is recorded on a dispute between the two, but Hijiri did spend a large portion of her life in a part of Makai. It isn't unreasonable that she might have bad blood with the residents.
8/02Yukari: Makes sense... So, I guess we should head on over to Byakuren's ...boat building, and procure us a grimoire?
8/02Patchouli: Perhaps. That is, if it were possible for you to leave the way you came.
8/02Yukari: I take it that means we've been found out? Or do you mean that you intend to keep us?
8/02Patchouli: *smiles gently* It 'would' be nice to have some pleasant company for once. One not as likely to stab you or suck your blood. But alas, that is not my... fate. *shrugs* I am but a library, so what can I do? However... *glances up* There is time yet. Come with me. *floats over and away, through several stacks of bookcases*

Rika: *glances at the other two, before taking off after her*
8/02Usagi: *quickly yet quietly runs after*

Yukari: *falls into her gap*
8/02Patchouli: *glances back at them* Please, no need for such exertions. I was but going to right here. *pulls out one of the books, before the bookshelf shimmers away, and a hole appears beneath it* Here is your way out... If you so need it. Make your mind up quick, though. The dog will be here soon.

Moscow: *finally catches up after being left behind, but gives Patchy sad eyes at her statement*
8/02Usagi: Well... bye, Patche! You're as nice as the one back home *smiles* I wish big sis Remi was as nice in this world... Or Sakuya, for that matter... *gives a quick hug before hopping in*
8/02Patchouli: We shall see... We shall see... *chuckles, before turning to the doll* Don't fret too much, now. Your mother will be fine soon enough. Now, go along. *shoves her towards the hole, which she reluctantly falls down.

Rika: So... What happens to you from here?

Patchouli: *grins slightly* Nothing much. After all, Remilia sure wouldn't want to harm her precious library. But as for now... go. *pushes her in the hole* And tell your mother that she still owes me some books!
8/02(Heh, she knows!)

Usagi: *slides down the hole, trying to keep her bright read skirt from blowing up*
8/02(Of course! She 'is' the Great Unmoving Library... Could you expect less?)

Rika: *slides down even more quickly, and slams into her back as she falls*
8/02(By the way, I never mentioned it but she's wearing Flandre's outfit, minus the hat)

Usagi: Mmm...! *shivers from the sudden impact to her wings and the pain of something warm touching them* A-are... oww... are you okay...? D-did my wings hurt you? I think you're *quivers in pain a bit* b-bleeding on them...
8/02(Haha, alright... If I had known, 'that' would have freaked Rika out a bit...But you never really think about that problem, do we?)

Rika: Nah... *rubs on her ankles and wipes off a smear* It's fine. It's not as if you cut the achilles tendon... I'll be fine. *stands up and glances around at the cavern* Now, are we...
8/02(Well, there are still future reactions! XD)

Yukari: *pops out of a gap and uses it as a chair* Interesting. Perhapse the underground?
8/02(Yup... Such as when they go all Vampire)

*electronic beeping sounds in the distance*

Rika: ...*pales* Please not be a geiger counter... *inches towards the sound anyways*
8/02Usagi: *freezes and shakes the blood from her wings* That hurt... *notices a red tinge to the areas that were bled on* And now my wings have a bit of blood in them!
8/02Rika: *glances back as the beeping gets louder* Sorry... Didn't have much of a choice. They'll wash off, though, right? *glances forward again* But we need to find out what this is...
8/02Usagi: Wash...? It's frozen into the insides! *follows while pouting and mumbles* Only Cirno's blood is fine to get stuck in my wings...
8/02Rika: *pats her head gently* There there. It'll get out eventually. But quiet... Do you hear that?

???: *electronic beeps*
8/02Usagi: *looks to the direction of the sound*
8/02???: ...A~d W~~e ~a~k! *garble garble*

Rika: That sounds... oddly... familiar...
8/02Usagi: Whatever it is, it's hurting my ears with those sounds...
8/02Rika: *creeps closer*

???: ...I hope you all enjoyed our commercial break. This is the Cirno News Network with a breaking news story...
8/02Usagi: *perks up at the mention of Cirno*
8/02???: There have been some recent disturbances near the Misty Lake, as a rogue military vehicle has apparently been trampling over the countryside...

Rika: ... I wouldn't call it... trampling... Maybe... walking over?
8/02(The voice is Cirno, right?)
8/02(Nope. She's one of the ace reporters. This is the broadcaster)
8/02(Aww...)

Usagi: ...Trampling seems right.
8/02(*pats head* Not yet cutey. You can have Cirno in time. :P)

Rika: *grumble grumble*

???: From our ace reporter on the field, it seems that the visitors in the mechanical contraption did not seem to mean any harm, but were quite powerful. Even if one of them had rather odd requests. After further questions, our reporter declined to clarify, as she was too busy studying the ceiling.
8/02Usagi: *blushes at the realisation at who the ace reporter must be, after the words "odd requests" came up*
8/02???: We will continue to track the current events as it unfolds. Hopefully, there will be no more negative occurrences from this new group. Until next time! This is Aya Shamiamaru with your hourly broadcast!
8/02Usagi: Is it... a radio?
8/02Rika: Sounds like it... a HAM setup, perhaps?

Aya: Wha? Who's there? Hatate? Are you hear for your broadcast already?
8/02Usagi: ...No.

Yukari: *chuckles*
8/02Aya: Then who is it? come on, hurry it up, I've got work to be doing, papers to be writing, rabbits to be eating... *smacks her lips* Delicious rabbit stew...
8/02Usagi: Umm... I'm Usagi Scarlet...

Yukari: Hmhmhm... I would be Yukari Yakumo~
8/02Rika: And I'm Kirasame. Rika Kirasame. *laughs* I'll take my glass shaken, not stirred.

Aya: Oh, sure, oh sure. Here, don't exactly have any glasses, but I can stir something up... Wait, what am I saying? Still, you've not answered my question. Come on... I have stuff to do.
8/02Usagi: But we just told you our names...
8/02Aya: You mean I haven't asked what you're doing here? Bah, ok, what are you here. *whips out a pen in her left hand* Might as well write it down. Might make it interesting.
8/02Yukari: *shrugs* Usagi and I came from another world, and we're currently trying to help Alice, I do believe~ We met Patches, and found the dog of the devil to be on our tail, so we took a fun little slide down here! *chuckles*
8/02Aya: Interesting... So, you are visitors from another world... Do you come to conquer us? Eat us? Make us sex slaves?
8/02Usagi: None of the above. ...Though, if I really wanted to, I could probably gain more worshipers, due to my... power...

Yukari: And with Yukari as she is, I'd likely be able to take over in her stead, if I actually wanted to do such a thing. Though, I'd much rather help her wake up, and maybe execute that fox of hers~
8/02Aya: Aha! *scribbles on a notepad and stares at Usagi* You oppose Kanako then? Goddess of the mountain, here to take us over with your powerful magic? Tell me then, what kind of goddess are you?
8/02Usagi: *gently touches Aya's eye* You tell me. *sigh*
8/02Aya: *shivers, and begins writing with abandon* You... you... you are a goddess of reporters! *immediately begins muttering to herself*
8/02Usagi: I'm really not a goddess, though.
8/02Aya: Mere technicalities! You are worshipped, therefore you must be a goddess... *scribbles more on notepad* Inspires... muse... of... reporters... with... power.
8/02Usagi: Also, it's the power to cause pleasure... *flicks her eye this time*
8/02Aya: *moans softly* Yes, yes! Brilliant! You are the ones behind the tank, yes! A distraction, to overtake the mountain! Brilliant! I would never have thought otherwise... You inspire me!

(You know, this is leading to a big joke about what Aya's schtick is)
8/02Usagi: Actually... while we are behind the tank, I see nothing of interest in something like the mountain...
8/02Rika: Yeah... the tank is mine, to be precise. We've had no plans to attack the mountain though.

Aya: So what? Why wouldn't you? I've never felt so... Stupendous about reporting! I can see so many things... Please... inspire me some more. *gives a begging look to Usagi*
8/02Usagi: *smacks the eye* Like that...?
8/02Aya: *gasps and falls to the floor* Yes! Yes! Brilliant! Of course... The ice fairy is growing strong... And smart. Yes, little Cirno. So smart, getting smarter...
8/02Usagi: Well, the one from my world is quite smart, if a bit innocent, so I can see that happrning... *steadily begins to grip the eye harder and harder*
8/02Aya: *starts to buck on the floor* What else, what else. *spots doll* I see! A new doll! Now you are armed against the curse goddess! Yes! You plan to overthrow them all! Just like Hijiri! Yes yes, crazy magician buddhist, overtaking the Shintos!
8/02Usagi: What was that about hijiri? If you tell me everything, I'll squeeze you harder~ *she began to take on a grin that showed her to be enjoying this*
8/02Aya: Yes, yes... She is planning to take over, I say! Any good reporter knows that! Thief she is, I tell you. Been a problem for years. Couldn't steal from the scarlets, so stole from the doll. Trying to remove all other competition! Can't take on Hakurei yet, yes yes... *shivers* Of course, Hakurei in trouble. Chameleon youkai... posing as townfolk, gaining their trust...
8/02Usagi: I see... *squeezes hard*
8/02Aya: *falls over on the ground, and starts writing in silence*

Rika: *walks over and looks down. Every word is gibberish* Well... I think you broke her Usagi.
8/02Usagi: Well, my power DOES give able an orgasm every 3-5 seconds for around 8 hours at full strength... However, she'll probably be fine in an hour.
8/02Rika: *blushes at the thought* ...Remind me not to get you mad..
8/02Usagi: I have followers for a reason, even if I'd rather not. Plus, it'd make getting a meal easy~

Yukari: *grins* I'm sure it does! Sunshine sure did get you a bit hooked, huh...?
8/02Rika: Careful there. IF you get too many... Depending on how you quantify faith basedo n the one following you... We'll see. *blinks, before sighing* And let me guess. Rumia?
8/02Usagi: Heh, it's that obvious, huh?

Yukari: It's Mima's pet name for Rumia~ Rumia's quite good at getting others into the stuff... She even turned Mima to canabalism, back when she was human~!
8/02Rika: *pauses, before shuddering* Yeah... Sorry, but I've no desire. And I thought the Rumia here was bad... *shakes head out* So, we'll be needing to get out of here... You see any door?

Aya: *claws her way over towards Usagi*
8/02Usagi: Ohh, my... she's good at staying concious! *Kneels down* What is it, Aya~? *smiles warmly*
8/02Aya: Please... Is there anything... you wish to... say... to our loyal... listeners?
8/02Usagi: Hmm... I wish all those living in Gensoukyo luck in the bedroom~ *grins*
8/02Aya: Luck in... bedroom? Why, need luck in... bedroom? *scribbles it down anyways*

Rika: Oh, don't tell me...
8/02Usagi: *shrug* While I dislike being seen as once, I'll gladly gather faith, in case it makes me stronger... I mean, my Kyuu is quite weak right now... Plus, to harm others with my wings causes me pain!
8/02Aya: I see... but what would... people need luck... in bedroom... with?
8/02Usagi: *blushes* Asking me such a perverted question... Sex, silly!
8/02Aya: Sex? *scratches head* No idea what is... Must research... *scribble scribble scribble*

Rika: *facepalm*
8/02Usagi: You're over 1000 years old, and yet you don't know such a basic thing...? I have no memories of over a year ago, and I know!
8/02Aya: Why would I need it? I eat... sleep... And investigate! No time... for anything else...
8/02Yukari: You poor dear... I should show you the wonders of your own body... *cracks fingers*

Usagi: ...You have my blessing...?
8/02Rika: *shakes head and turns away* You know, we really don't have the time for this, Yukari...

(And will just point out that this is your rp. You have fun with it. :P I have a sense it's gonna be poor Aya either way.)
8/02Usagi: Ahh! Right, forgot! We need to save to world, or something!

Yukari: *already kissing Aya on the lips and licking the inside of her mouth*
8/02Aya: *just lays there ignoring Yukari, writing away on her notepad*
8/02Usagi: *sharply pokes Aya's eye* Comming...
8/02Aya: *sharply bucks her hips and moans, scribbling furiously into her pad*

Rika: ...Well, I suppose you could say she's married to her work...
8/02Yukari: *takes the oportunity to begin rubbing her breasts*

Usagi: Coming, Yukari?

Yukari: Go on ahead~
8/02Aya: *still doesn't respond to Yukari, but becomes more and more focused on her writing*

Rika: ...You guys... You can stop now... Leave the poor girl alone.

Moscow: *peeks head around*

Rika: *immediately covers the doll's eyes*
8/02Usagi: *runs up to Rika* There's really no stopping her, if she starts...

Yukari: *eyebrow twitches and she pinches Aya's twin peaks*
8/02Rika: and if there is no reaction to her?

Aya: hrm... mountains... oh! That's it! Some sort of new pinch in the story... *mumbles and writes faster and faster*
8/02Usagi: ...I've no idea...

Yukari: *face starts to burn a bit with the annoyance* *slips a hand up her skirt, and begins to fiddle about* Grr...
8/02Rika: ...not good, then.

Aya: *gasps and finally turns to Yukari* Oh, hi! Do you want to be interviewed too? I'm really in the mood to write...
8/02Yukari: *pouts and keeps fiddling about*

Usagi: I do think she's a bit annoyed... Anyways, let's go... She DID say she'd catch up...
8/02Rika: Yeah... I'd rather not witness this anymore. *shields her eyes* As much as mom and mama...
8/02Yukari: *tries to probe the tengu a bit*

Usagi: *walks away from the scene*
8/02Rika: *follows Usagi, eventually coming to a door* Well, here goes nothing. *opens the door, revealing the blinding evening sun*
8/02Usagi: *reacts as though still a vampire, and hisses at the suddenly blinding light*
8/02Rika: *quickly turns to her* What's wrong, Usa?
8/02Usagi: *suddenly calms down, noticing the lack of burning flesh* Sorry, reliving the time I woke up in the sun, and found that I hadn't turned from a vampire into a fae, but into a vampire AND a fae, and simply couldn't tell... *sighs*

Yukari: Annoying little tengu... *pouts*
8/02Rika: *pats her on the shoulder* Don't worry. If you suddenly start burning to a crisp, I'll tell you. *glances at Yukari* No luck, I take it?
8/02Yukari: *looks at with misty eyes*
8/02Rika: *pats her head gently* Don't worry, Yukari. I'm sure you can find... someone... uptight.. who you can molest later. *blanches immediately*
8/02Yukari: You... you think so...?! *looks at with sparkly eyes*

Usagi: *says under breath* ...If you don't calm down, I'm going to kyuu you...
8/02Rika: Yes, I do... I'm sure we'll run across Kogasa at some point... Think that might make a good enough surprise? *glances out of the corner of her eye* And do you mean her, or me?
8/02Usagi: Her... Also, wouldn't it be awkward for her to molest her past self from another world...?
8/02Rika: I'm just throwing something out there! Thought she might be intrigued by the idea... *quietly* And not try and do me instead...
8/02Yukari: *shrug* You aren't my type.
8/02Rika: *sighs in relief* Thank goodness...
8/02Yukari: Now, Nitori, on the other hand...
8/02Rika: Hey now! That's my mother you're talking about! *glares*
8/02Yukari: And she's such a cute milf, too~ Not like Marisa, who is a bit... annoying.
8/02Rika: *glares and steps up to Yukari* Don't you even dare, or I'll, I'll... *sighs*
8/02Yukari: *chuckles* Not that I'm interesting in the one from this world~
8/02Rika: *wipes forehead* Good... *looks down* I'm still worried about casualty too. Since nothing happened like that to my mama, if you did do something...
8/02Yukari: Ohh, if that were to happen, that means that you're supposed to go back in time and prevent it~ I do, so hate time travel...
8/02Rika: Indeed... *shivers* and I wouldn't want to face you down, either way. Not after all that we've done in the past... hour?
8/02Yukari: Indeed! I'd rather not face me down, either~
8/02Rika: Good, good. Well, let's be off. To the buddhiss? *begins skirting down the mountain, muttering under her breath* Course... making me wonder...
8/02Yukari: Plus, you already went back in time to stop me from doing that~ *winks*
8/02Rika: *pauses* wait wait. You've met me before?
8/02Yukari: Ufufu, time travel is the most annoying of magics~
8/02Rika: *slaps head* dammit. I don't suppose you can tell me 'why' I met you before?
8/02Yukari: Because I was trying to see just how alike the two Nitoris are~ *grins* Mine has larger breasts~
8/02Rika: *twitches, and looks down at her own, nearly nonexistant ones* ...L-like I needed to kn-now that...
8/02Yukari: Though, if you like, I could... make you more impressive, in that regard~
8/02Rika: *bites her lip, and looks away* I... I shouldn't... Not like there's anyone I like... like that. And don't 'need' them. *continues to argue with herself under her breath*
8/02Yukari: But do you WANT that, is what I ask? *grins*
8/02Rika: *freezes, and mutters under her breath* ...yes...
8/02Yukari: *pops through a gap and begins to grope and massage Rika's breasts* Such cute things, they are~
8/02Rika: *gasps and instinctively lunges away* W-what are you d-doing?
8/02Yukari: Making you bigger! *gropes and molests her breasts through a pair of gaps that move with Rika*
8/02Rika: *tries to still herself, and not to become too aroused at the actions. even with flush faced, she gave usagi a pleading glance*
8/02Usagi: *blushes* W-what...?
8/02Rika: I... I... anything, you can... *shakes her head, before closing her eyes, attempting to block it out. a soft sigh passes her lips* No stopping... her... is there?
8/02Usagi: Well, your breasts look a bit larger already...
8/02Rika: *glances down, watching them expand slowly before her eyes* ...They do, don't- ah! *gasps at one squeeze* They weren't that sensitive before...
8/02Yukari: Wrll, why not improve them, too~? *grins and gives her little peaks a gentle rolling pinch*
8/02Rika: *moans loudly, eyes shooting open* Yukari... What are... you doing to me...?
8/02Yukari: Now you feel pleasure more, and pain less~ *grins and lets go of the breasts that were now two sizes too large for Rika's outfit*
8/03Rika: *barely notices as she lets go, still riding the feeling* Wha? More... of this... *snaps out of it, before looking down* I'm... I'm huge... *immediately tries to pull the shirt over to cover them*
8/03Yukari: *with a snap of her fingers, the shirt now was just barely able to fit them comfortably*
8/03Rika: *sighs at the sight of her blouse still straining, and cleavage showing. however, she can't help the giddy feeling welling up within* I suppose I should be glad you didn't mess with my mind... but thanks, Yukari. I think...
8/03Yukari: You'll probably ask for the things to be taken off within the next week~ *shrugs* Though, it DOES make you more succeptable to little Usa's eye manipulations... *smirks*
8/03Rika: *eyes widen* How does it make me more... susceptible? It shouldn't do that much, should it...?
8/03Usagi: I manipulate pleasure... she just made you feel such things... more. Knowing Yukari, it's at the very least doubled.
8/03Rika: *pales* at least... Which means if you so much as touch it... I'm on the floor. Well, I suppose I difinitely won't get on your bad side...
8/03Usagi: You know, that makes me wonder what would happen if I KISSED an eye... Now, stop looking at me like that, as I've no interest in kyuuing you...
8/03Rika: *Immediately turns eyes away* Sorry, sorry... I just extrapolate easily... and that's a rather large weakness... As for your question, I suppose it depends on what you mean by said kiss, if I know how magic works... Still, I suppose we should keep going... *looks down at her breasts and bokes them, shivering. I need some time to get used to these, anyways.
8/03Yukari: You first, as I've no idea if the layout of the land is the same~
8/03Rika: Didn't you tour the land for an entire week? *shrugs grandly* Come on... We can head south from here. Take us along the river, and down towards the village. *begins walking along, chest noticeably bouncing compared to before*
8/03*The rest of the group follows*

Yukari: Gensoukyo is very large, you know... Well, if you know its less obvious, such as Mugenkan, Makai, heaven, and the place between the outside an Genoukyo.
8/03Rika: True, true... But it's not like we don't have a destination... We must find the temple, which is near the human village. At least, so I hope it still is... They would know where to go from there.
8/03Yukari: I make a point to avoid the village, as mine dissapoints me, so.
8/03Rika: I'm human, mostly, so it won't be a big deal... Let's see what happens. Worse to worse, we have to leave.
8/03Yukari: *sigh* If you say so...
8/03Rika: *turns to her, and puts her hand on the shoulder* Yukari... these aren't your humans... Have you given them a chance yet?
8/03Yukari: It's hard to do that... I tell myself that, and yet technically they should all be the same humans, even if they act different, and live differently... *sigh*
8/03Rika: By the odds, in your universe, I should be a racist asshole then, aren't I? ... *pauses* If I am, does that make it hard to... work with me?
8/03Yukari: ...You were raised by both a human and a kappa, correct? That causes you to be far more trustworthy, even if it does raise the question of if you've stolen one of THOSE before.
8/03Rika: True, but my godfather was human, too. So, if you want to get down to the nitty gritty... Besides, I haven't. Remember...? Oh, I just told Usagi this. I'm 86.47% human, technically. Sister and I did the math... and I have the lack of magic to prove it.
8/03Yukari: Regardless, you've still a youkai parent, and a very... youkai friendly human parent, even if mostly for the strength it gives...
8/03Rika: Eh, mom didn't give a damn, if you want to be particular, but I suppose you could call that friendly. *snorts at a sudden thought* If it helps, do you want me to tie up my hair in pigtails and dye it blue, and then put on a cap?
8/03Yukari: Well, the pigtails WOULD look cute on you. However, that'd just make us more suspicious, and is rather un-needed - as I just said, you're quite youkai to me.
8/03Rika: *snickers* Fine, fine... Not doing it though. I like my hair straight... But you consider me youkai? Odd... Never have in particular. I'm the human, and sisters the magician youkai who doesn't want to be one.
8/03Yukari: You act more like a kappa than a human...
8/03Rika: Odd... I thought I would just put it at mad scientist... But if you say so... *blushes* I still think you altered a bit more than what you did though, as I am definitely not going to extract your thing, as if you had one. And why am I even saying this out loud...
8/03Yukari: Where I'm from, even youkai have one~ *sticks tongue out oddly far and winks*
8/03Rika: Well then I might as... *stops, bringing her hand to her mouth* Then I should get... *holds her head in her hands* Dammit, you did something to me, as I can't get this out of my own head... Or else I've gone crazy.
8/03Yukari: Well, other than plant my opinion of you being a kappa to be proud of, I've done nothing of that sort.
8/03Rika: *shivers* Really? Then... *shakes head* That would explain why I want to use the cucumber sciences on you now... Even if it means letting you molest me in the process...
8/03Yukari: *chuckles* As I said, you aren't my type, even if you are rather cute. Though, I'm quite curious as to how that works.
8/03Rika: *stutters to herself, unable to resist* I could... show you... for science... *thwacks herself in the head* Or do I need to explain it in detail?
8/03Yukari: *chuckles* Detail. Though, I take it takes a small part from the opposite parent, and makes conception possible? I assume you came from Marisa, and your sister, from Nitori?
8/03Rika: *nods* Yes, indeed. A decompliation of the chromosones of each person were loaded into a prepared cucumber, after beeing genetically modified. Then, it was but simple insertion, and bam. Bun in the over. So, technically, we're not actually sisters... but we consider ourselves as such.
8/03Yukari: and yet, are they not made using a bit of of them each? Sounds like you are related, to me.
8/03Rika: Oh we are, but we are not sisters by the strictest of definitions. Just... loosely... *gets a strange grin as she looks down* At least I've finally beaten her in one area... Well, technicaly you did, but still...
8/03Yukari: Heh, and in sensetivity - does that make her as good of a mechanic as you? Because that other tank of yours truely was well made...
8/03Rika: Oh that thing? I just threw it together out of this and that... Nothing too good. She's a better engineer though, but on a micro scale. I build big, and she builds small... *grumbles* Lucky duck has a personal jetpack, too. Not to mention all that magical power...
8/03Yukari: And yet you defeated myself... No, I mean this me, back when you had to "change" time.
8/03Rika: *raises an eyebrow* Really now? Tell me, did I have Sigma with me at the time?
8/03Yukari: Yyyep...

Usagi: Man, that thing must be strong...
8/03Rika: *buffs her nails on her chest, which causes her to gasp at the sensation. Once she gets ahold of herself, she nods, nipples still poking through at what had happened* You might say that... It was my masterpiece... and I had to put it on ice... Pity...
8/03Yukari: And does your sister have anything that can even compare to it?
8/03Rika: *pauses for a moment* Not nearly in direct combat... But I can't take sigma with me everywhere. He's just too big...
8/03Yukari: Well then, that makes you better at destruction than her, too~
8/03Rika: Just... just as a proper kappa should! Destroy them all, and take the survivors for experiments, and for fun time... *blinks and slaps self* Damn, what type of a kappa did you make me? *mutters* One that enjoys taking advantage of others...
8/03Yukari: Once again, I simply reminded you that there is no better kappa than you~ I changed nothing of you save for the two obvious things, miss nipply.
8/03Rika: *blushes and looks down, seeing that she is still poking out* I know there isn't... Damn... I've never been like this... Sorry. My head still seems to be recompiling... *glances at her and bows her head* I'm sorry for being so... accusing though.
8/03Yukari: *shrugs* I'm quite used to it.
8/03Rika: *blushes and looks down* And here I am telling you to give the humans a chance, when I'm not giving you one, too... It's so odd to not think of them as my kind, though...
8/03Yukari: Ohh, I'm sure you'll get used to it... the Reimu, Mima, and Marisa of my world all did - and only the former most was actually naturally a youkai.
8/03Rika: Still, I don't want to leave them all behind... they are all good people. None as good as a proper kappa... *sigh* Come on, let's keep a getting. Who knows? I may end up challenging my mother to a contest of skill at this rate...
8/03Yukari: As any good kappa should! *grins*
8/03Rika: Oh, you damnable... Come on... I feel my instincts starting to rise up. How you youkai deal with them...
8/03Yukari: Heh, the full moon only makes them stronger... Plus, the simple answer is to simply give in~ I've been surprising people for over... a long time, and been eating humans for a reletively long while... It's such a nice feeling, to give into that desire... that strong tug... However, I don't recomend it for a fullmoon...

Usagi: Yeah... I almost ate Cirno on a full moon... Also, saying "you youkai" seems slightly off, when you are one too! *toothily grins*
8/03Rika: Well, since my head wasn't messed with too bad, and I am a kappa, I'm having to resist the urge to turn my nose up at you. Not to mention the urge to go find a mate... Or an experiment. Either one would do. Damn... I feel so... primal... *pauses for a moment* At least I don't find the appeal at eating people...
8/03(I find it hilarious how easily she started acting like a youkai! XD)

Usagi: Plus, your teeth look pretty human... Though, the kappa from earlie had human-like teeth, too... hmm...
8/03(It's one of those things lurking in the back of your mind... besides, if people 'believe' they should act in a certain manner, they will. And since Yukari is there to take the blame, any action which comes out can be justified as a change. Besides, those breasts are making her a bit horny, so she isn't thinking clearly...

Placebo effect, in other words)

Rika: Good. I don't want to be eating them... Wait, are you suggesting that I might go back in time and be the progenitor of the race?
8/03Usagi: Ehh? Nnnno... I was simply stating that they don't look like man eaters...

(I'm surprised the way Nitori's mouth worked isn't coming up! XD)
8/03(Oh, the sharp teeth? Remember, she is mostly human... so, unless Yukari decides all of the sudden to make her 100% kappa)

Rika: Sorry, sorry, I'm going off on wild tangents... Hrm... Mama could do something like this though... *grits and bares her teeth, which are completely normal*
8/03(I've been considering that! XD)

Usagi: ...Still look the same...

Yukari: A simple fix. I could always make you a mostly kappa~ I mean, it's rather simple, just have to reverse how much of you is a kappa, and how much is human~ *grins, bearing her own sharp teeth*
8/03Rika: ...As attractive as it is... to have my own magic... I'm as good a kappa as I need to be as I am. If I have myself messed with too much, then who am I, really? Might as well just adjust the boundary between me and my mother and make me into a clone of her...
8/03Yukari: I'll just asume that to be a joke, and not make you a clone of your mother~ *winks and grins*
8/03Rika: Heh, the only way for me to be serious would be to make me perverted enough to want it... *looks away, a blush on her face* I'm... already hot and bothered enough with these things...
8/03Yukari: Ufufu... How cute~
8/03Rika: *flushes further and looks away* YEah... gah. Just need to get used to these things... and wear softer fabric.
8/03Yukari: Ohh, you will~ It may take awhile, but you will~
8/03Rika: *shakes head, and focuses forward* Enough, let's just go see the humans... Maybe show them a thing or two what a kappa can do... *barely notices as she stalks forward*
8/03Usagi: You're such an interesting person, Rika! *grins*
8/03Rika: *raises an eyebrow at her, still muttering under her breath* Why is that?
8/03Usagi: Because you're fun to talk to, and a good mechanic, and you make my mouth water, and you're adorable!
8/03Rika: No better mechanic, of course! *registers the full length of the comments* And let me guess... mouth water because I'm tasty, correct?
8/03Usagi: Smell good, yeah. Though, as you're a youkai, you'd likly not taste too good... Only animal youkai taste good...
8/03Rika: Hrm... Technically, kappa are considered as god-like spirits by some... So if you were to eat me, you might develop powers like Utsuho...
8/03Usagi: ...Are you TRYING to get me to want to eat you...? Plus I've no idea who that is...

Yukari: She ate a god who was also the avatar of summer... Hum... guess that makes her the avatar of summer, too...
8/03Rika: Well, it would be for science... and here, he was just the sun god. The dead sun god. *glances up* Yeah, the sun never left either. Really good sun god, eh?
8/03Usagi: Yeah... Wait, you'd be fine if I ate you, so long as I documented any changes...?
8/03Rika: *pauses, and thinks on it* ...Perhaps. It would be the kappa thing to *slaps self* Nah, don't. No eating me. I won't regenerate, anyways.
8/03Usagi: Eheh, so cute... It's also fun to watch you get conflicted with your instincts!
8/03(Sorry for the delay, Sona)

Rika: I'm glad you're amused... Wait a sec. How close is it to the full moon?
8/03Usagi: *shrugs* I only just got here yesterday, and the trees blocked the sky last night... Plus, didn't you say about a week?
8/03Rika: Right, right... Now I'm getting all worried about whether it will affect me... Not that it should, mind you... My universe, not yours. Not all youkai are affected by the moon... *shakes head* Not thinking logically. Get back on track.
8/03Yukari: The question is, are kappa on that list?
8/03Rika: Not that I'm aware of... The vamps and the rabbits are, but that's all I know.. *puts a finger to her chin* Then why am I freaking out over it...?
8/03Yukari: Because you're giving into mob thinking~ You accepted out worries, and stopped doubting things~!
8/03Rika: *shakes head immediately* I may be a mad scientist... mechanic... kappa, but that means I should doubt. Not that I should abandon everything. I suppose I'll simply wait until it's full moon, and see what happens. Then I'll know. *glances at Yukari* You want me to fall into that thinking though, don't you?
8/03Yukari: Once more grins toothily* Well, it'd be entertaining~
8/03Rika: I'm sure it would... Come on, we've about made it down the mountain. Now we've gotta get through the woods here.
8/03Yukari: Though, I do wonder why you smell so good~ That's not normal for one with youkai blood from where we're from...
8/03Rika: Remember, mostly human. So I probably would taste pretty good, considering that I'm only a little kappa. *blinks* Dangit... prideful kappa...
8/03Yukari: *shrug* Youkai blood is youkai blood
8/03Rika: If you say so... then, I have no earthly idea why I smell so good. Probably the best kappa you've ever smelled, though. *sighs as she pushes through the underbrush* Wish I had my tank... But don't want to get Wriggle angry.
8/03Yukari: Well, actually, you ARE the best smelling kappa...
8/03Rika: *turns her head, narrowly avoiding a tree branch* Really?
8/03Yukari: A number of them stink of ass...
8/03Rika: Oh. *shivers* Well, definitely glad to be above them. *finally pushes ahead and into an open field, covered with young wheat. On the far side is a path, leading off into the distance*
8/03Yukari: Either Aki lives here, or we are close to the human village...
8/03Rika: *glances back at the mountain* We haven't gone far enough... but that road should connect. Let's go. *begins to walk across the fields. Eventually, a humming is heard in the wind as they cross*
8/03Yukari: I'll just asume it to be Aki...
8/03Rika: *shrugs, before continuing walking.* Unless you have business with her, we might as well keep going. Don't really know the mountain goddesses that well. The lower ones, at least.
8/03Yukari: Might as well ask her if she knows any leads. Can't hurt.
8/03Rika: If you want. Let's go and say hi, then. *follows the sound of the humming, eventually coming out near the garden, where a distant figure is kneeling near the edge of it*

Aki?: *hum hum hum*
8/03Yukari: *floats along towards the figure but is still not in speaking distance*
8/03Aki?: *leans back and places melon in a large basket, just ripe from the garden. She stands up, before leaning to pop her back. A large snap echoes across the field, causing the girl to freeze and blush deeply*

(Feel free to take initiative here. Or I can keep guiding it along. Either way.)
8/03Yukari: *chuckles*
8/03Aki?: *immediately spins, nearly toppling the basket of melons, not to mention two smaller melons on her. Squinting, she spots the floating form of Yukari, before dusting herself off and folding her hands over each other, coming closer*
8/03Yukari: Hello~ *grins* Nice melons you have there~ If you don't mind, I've questions for you, miss...?
8/03Aki?: *reaches in front of Yukari, before bowing her head slightly* Minoriko. Should not you know my name by now, Yukari? But thank you for the compliments on my harvest, I do my best. *tilts her head slightly, eyebrow raised* What is it that you desire from me, though?
8/03Yukari: Ohh, we've never met - I'm Yukari from another part of the multiverse and such~ Anywho, I was curious as to if you know anything on Byakuren, as she's apparently stolen Alice's grimoire. Beyond the more obvious thingfs about her...
8/03Minoriko: Another Yukari, interesting... *crosses her arms in a huff, unconsciously putting herself on display* But Hijiri... The new priest? Utter lackluster preistess to be honest... but strong magician. Tries to use that as a crutch, and create her own little miracles. Still, people know who brings them life and food, so I don't bother myself with her.
8/03Yukari: So a bit of a con-woman?
8/03Minoriko: Exactly. A damn thief. Not that she doesn't have holy powers on her side, now. Some of the youkai under her serve their gods, or whatever. But herself? No.
8/03Yukari: Interesting... That does seem like the sort to steal such a thing... Well, I suppose my little band will just have to beat the snot out of her, and get the book back, if it comes to that~
8/03Rika: So, does that mean that we're you're lackeys now? Didn't imagine that. This normal, Usa? You've been fairly quiet...

Minoriko: Well, if you're going to take out Hijiri, go for it. You have my blessing... and if I need to give a more concrete one, I can as well.
8/03Yukari: Ohh, I meant nothing of the sort, my dear.

Usagi: Well, only times I've really met her were when she gave me amnesia, when we fought, and when being like Rumia gave me the idea to molest her at the after incident f-

Yukari: That was you?!

Usagi: Err... Eheh...

Yukari: I was wondering why Kourin was so confused!
8/03Rika: *snickers* That sentence makes no sense, but considering who I am talking to...

Minoriko: *sighs grandly* Why oh why... Youkai these days...

Rika: Mino, look on the bright side. *pats her shoulder* They could be a lot worse than they are now... Trust me. A lot worse.

Minoriko: *jerks away slightly, blush creeping up her neck* Please, don't be so... familiar. It's not... proper, for a goddess...
8/03Usagi: *tilts head* Why?
8/03Minoriko: A goddess must endeavor to conduct herself well, and not outside of her bounds. And to not be quite so familiar with others. Especially in public, and especially with strangers.
8/03Usagi: *giggles* But why, miss Mino?
8/03Minoriko: *flushes again* It is because of decorum. I would not want others to be offended by a slight that I meant only in jest... Or a blessing that I meant not to give them.
8/03Usagi: Hmm... and how should one, for example, get others to stop worshiping them..? It's annoying to be worshiped, as though I were some sort of god... I figure that it'd work best to ask an actual Goddess...
8/03Minoriko: *blinks unnerved* You, 'you', are worshipped as a goddess? And you wish to stop? What kind of power... *shakes her head* I would advise you to simply stop doing whatever you did in the first place, or to do the exact opposite of what you did. Also, you could simply let time do its trick.
8/03Usagi: Well, it's my main self defense, as I'm rather weak, eheh...
8/03Minoriko: Seeing as you are not a true goddess, I would tell you to just find another way... What 'is' this power, though, if I may ask?
8/03Usagi: Well, I can cause pleasure and orgasms for hours strait, with but a small bit of effort on my part... for example... *lightly brushes Yukari's eye*

Yukari: *clutches at groin* Mmm... *shivers*
8/03Minoriko: *eyes widen, and takes a step backwards* A goddess... of pleasure, then, is what they called you. I can see why that would be such a power... *can't help but to narrow her gaze at Yukari* Still, it doesn't seem quite, proper...
8/03Usagi: Also, that was as weak as I could... plus, It's been weakened, as I'm not a vampire right now, I think... It works the same as big sis Flandre's power over destruction, as she was the one who turned me into a vampire, back in my world. *shrugs* I just have to grab an "eye" and make it go kyuu... At full strength, they wouldn't stop... finding bliss... for around 8 hours... Ohh, and the goddess from the top of the mountain keeps bugging me, saying I'm stealing her faith, or something along those lines... *sighs*
8/03Minoriko: I would be annoyed too, if you stole my humans away from me. However, as long as you have no designs on the village, I have no quarrel with you... *shrugs* Besides, you must not follow the same rules as us... You don't look like a goddess with a lot of faith... In fact, the human right here looks more like one.

Rika: ...*clenches teeth, before sighing* Kappa, at least a little bit.
8/03Usagi: Well, I do avoid using it, as I find being followed about by a gedually growing group of youkai to be annoying... Though, the Aya of this world seems to think me to be some sort of goddess of reporters, and is making an article on it... I tried to stop her, but eventually gave up and started get a little sadistic, by way of my power... *chuckles to self*
8/03Minoriko: That tengu is married to her work... I know that plenty of the other tengu have proposed to her, but she ignores them. I don't think she even knows what it means to be in some sort of relationship. *places her hands on her hips* I offered to help that girl myself, as I have a bit of experience... *realizes what she says, and blushes*
8/03Usagi: Heh... Yeah, Yukari tried to please her manually...

Yukari: *pouts* No matter what I did, she didn't react!
8/03Rika: Or at least, not the way she wanted her to...

Minoriko: Poor dear... I wish I could do something with her. Outside of rewriting her entire mind...
8/03Well, atleast my power give her pleasure, even if she seemed to use it for crazy inspirations, such as we are trying to take over the mountain *sigh* Eventually, I went full force, and she actually stayed concious! She's a beast...
8/03Rika: Goes to show that there's no news whatsoever that escapes Aya... *muses under her breath* Hrm... If a tengu can take it, can a kappa...?
8/03Usagi: ... *grins at Rika*
8/03Rika: *realizes what she just invited* Oh sh-
8/03Usagi: *brushes her eye as light as one can*

Yukari: You know, I really wonder if you don't just look for excuses to do that...
8/03Rika: *shivers and immediately becomes aroused* Considering she hasn't touched it yet... And you're the one that made me think like a kappa... Science taking all precedence. But please... I know I'll fail. 'Don't' do any more...
8/03Usagi: *chuckles* Fine, fine... Have it your way.
8/03Rika: *makes a sigh of relief*

Minoriko: Don't even give me that look... I'll have you know that I'm perfectly happy as I am. My sister might not agree, but you won't change my mind.
8/03Usagi: Ehh?
8/03Minoriko: Exactly. So on that note, I bid you good luck. *begins to walk away, melons in her basket bouncing around*

Rika: Well... On that... note, let's keep going, before my kappa mind has another 'brilliant' idea.
8/03Usagi: Such as a staring contest with reisen?
8/03Rika: I'm already insane, I do believe. Mad girl with tank in the past? How much more do I have to do to qualify?
8/03Usagi: Speak in the third person, or say "ze" alot?
8/03Rika: Rika can do that, d ze. After all, Rika was trained by the gorram expert, ze. But, mine doesn't do that on purpose, much.
8/03Usagi: Ugh... A Sanae and Marisa combo is just... torture...
8/03Rika: *snickers* I'll have to remember that... I wonder how much more I can twist the screws...
8/03Usagi: Depends...
8/03Rika: I'm not going to try, don't worry. *immediately makes a mental note about what is worse* So, let's get on going down the road... We have a fair walk.
8/03*begins to walk once more* You know, now that I think about it, won't Aya's report gain me more followers...?
8/03Rika: Not immediately... A goddess of journalists? You might get Hatate on your side, some more of the Tengu... And Cirno. Remember, her little ace reporter. *grins at the girl* Gonna try and get two ice fairies for yourself?
8/03Usagi: *blushes and drools at the thought of two Cirnos*
8/03Rika: *pats her on the back* How about this... let's get this done, and we'll see if we can find that fairy again. After I get my job done.
8/03Usagi: *looks at and happily nods*
8/03Rika: *smiles and pats her head* Good girl. Come on... Lets go ahead and take out this theiving priest. For science!
8/03Usagi: Yeah! *grins*
8/03Rika: *grins at her* Now... if we're gonna be taking this priest on, how are we gonna get her? Are you going to hit her with your power, or is Yukari gonna do it? *glances around* I could try to put something together...
8/03Yukari: The book sounds dangerous, so it may be best to do a three pronged attack.
8/03Rika: *nods, and begins examining stuff on the roadside...* No, nothing here... although I could create a nice motorcycle, no weapon... I don't suppose you have access to another few blocks of steel, a large motor, and some thorium?
8/03*a few blocks of steel, a large motor, and some thorium all fall beside Rika from a gap* As a matter of fact, I do~
8/03Rika: ...Ok, that's cheating... Hrm. Actually... *glances at her before changing her mind* Nah, I'll just get started on the reactor. *reaches down the front of her shirt and pulls out a wrench before leaping at the pile of junk*
8/03Usagi: *plops down on her butt, and watches the show*
8/03Rika: *begins to disassemble the engine, before turning to the steel* Well, wish I had a drill... this will do though. *Summons a tiny bit of water to her hands and begins t ocarve out a boiler*
8/03Usagi: *raises brow* But... I thought you can't use magic?
8/03Rika: *doesn't respond* I can't do much more than this... Tricks and other sort of shows. But I have enough to do this. It's not exactly flashy, so I hate using it... *finishes carving out the boiler, and sets out creating another small chamber and some pipes*
8/03*looks at the sky, watching the clouds* It's going to rain any minute now...
8/03Rika: Good, good, I need to fill up the boiler, anyways. *places the thorium in the chamber, before locking it down and fitting pipes to the outside of the boiler* Shoulda asked for a steam turbine instead of a gas engine, but gotta make do with what ya got...
8/03As if on cueue, it began to rain*
8/03Rika: Hoorah! now I can get some real stuff done! Just like a kappa! *Works even faster, bolting the torn apart engine to the pipes before reworking the innards. At the same time, doesn't notice as her shirt becomes drenched in the rain*
8/03Yukari: *smiles, while enjoying the view*
8/03Rika: *begins to use the rain to shape the other pieces of steel into a rollcage, working it around the boiler and engine*
8/03Usagi: *plays with the rain, making a whirlpool on the ground in front of her*
8/03Rika: *finishes with the rollcage, and begins creating two legs and fashioning them to the sides of the vehicle, not noticing that she shouldn't be able to move solid chunks so large*
8/03Usagi: Wow, Rika! You're stronger than I expected! *giggles and makes the rain turn to snow near her*
8/03Rika: *barely replies as she works* A kappa can lift 1728 tons, on average. Since I'm only a little bit kappa, I can only lift a fraction of that. *begins to strap a bunch of hoses she created to each one, and attach some custom hydraulics to the legs*
8/03Usagi: ...And... how much can an oni lift...?
8/03Rika: A mountain. On average. *begins fashioning a large ball, with two cannons pointed out, and fits it underneath the rollcage*
8/03Usagi: ...That seems excessive... Hey, wait, if you can lift so much, what reason do you have to fear me on the full moon...?

(If she's so strong, why "not noticing that she shouldn't be able to move solid chunks so large"?)
8/03(Eh, because it doesn't come to mind. She is what she is. Plus, she is somewhat like her sister, and tries not to use her powers, and be powerful in 'spite' of them)

Rika: Not particularly. And when I say small fraction, I mean small fraction. None of these pieces are individually over five hundred pounds. Most far less. And there are plenty of youkai that can easy tear this steel in two. That's why I'm using this water to cut it, yeah? *straps the ball turret on, and goes back to the reactor* Besides, strong as I am, still mostly human. Cut the wrong vein, and I'll bleed out just as easy.
8/03Usagi: Youkai sure have a lot of strength here... *makes the rain water swirl around herself like some sort of shield*
8/03Rika: It's more evolution than anything... The kappa had to keep up with the oni somehow. And since the oni are so strong... Kappa became stronger. *satisfied that it was complete, begins banging on the back of it* Comeon, thorium, started fission...
8/03But... where I'm from, I don't think even the oni are THAT strong...

Yukari: They aren't.
8/03Rika: Heh. *chuckles to self* It's overkill, but they are mythological creatures. I'm a mythological creature. We're allowed to get a little extreme.
8/03Rika: *kicks the back* Come on... need an explosion, or for it to just start fission... can't slam the thorium together manually...
8/03Usagi: But... what could one even need that much strength for...?
8/04Yukari: *snaps fingers, causing fission to occure*
8/04Rika: They don't need it. They just have it. *sighs, and just begins to assemble pedals instead* *notices that the water is beginning to boil* ...Yukari?
8/04Yukari: Yes? *grins*
8/04Rika: *grins, before bouncing up and down* I love you. *immediately begins to climb into the rollcage*
8/04Yukari: Heh.
8/04Rika: Alright, firing it up! *begins to pull on a few levers, before the machine slowly rises from the ground, roll cage settling in between the legs.* *gives a salute to Yukari and Usagi* AT-PT, reporting in!
8/04Yukari: Impressive looking.
8/04Rika: And, just to test fire... *pulls one lever, and the machine whines before farting out a shot from its front. Which carves a ten foot crater in the road* Hrm... Seems to be underpowered. It'll do.
8/04Yukari: Impressive. *claps*
8/04Rika: It's not science if it's not flashy! *bows, and finally, the tortured and waterlogged blouse gives way. Immediately, she covers herself back up, burning red*
8/04(Sorry if I had a little bit too much fun there)
8/04Ufufu... You'd think a kappa would go for a water-proof outfit...
8/04Rika: I've not really thought of myself as a kappa before I met you! *mutters under her breath* Not very good swimmer, either...
8/04Yukari: *grins* Well, that's because you don't practice! Do you have gills? ...Do kappa have gills here?
8/04Rika: Nope, not at all. Mama could just filter the oxygen straight from the water... Given her control over it. But she can hold her breath an insanely long time, too.
8/04Yukari: Interesting... And you? How are you in those aspects?
8/04Rika: Remember, tiny percentage... Enough to make it to the surface, basically.
8/04Yukari: .1% is tiny. You've pleanty of youkai blood in you! You've just got to practice!
8/04Rika: *shrugs* I'm perfectly fine. I've got my machines, so I'm all good. *pats it on the panel, causing a few bolts to pop out* Besides, you programmed me with your universe's version of kappa, so I'm crazy over this stuff. Not that I wouldn't be otherwise, but still...
8/04Yukari: I simply made you believe in yourself, kid~ You may be mostly human, but there is no better kappa than you... Maybe some day, you could visit my world~ *winks*
8/04Rika: Well, I already know that I meet you again in the past... *continues stomping forward, the buildings of the village coming into sight*
8/04Usagi: *makes the rain shoot about like bullets to entertain herself*
8/04Rika: Hrm... About five more minutes. Want to just skirt around the sides? I don't know if giant war machine trudging down the middle of the streets would be a good idea.
8/04Usagi: Sure! With how fae in this world act, I'd probably be seen as a threat, anywho... Still have no idea how to glamour propperly...
8/04Rika: You got it to work earlier... Just want it to appear normal. *emerges from the trees, heading towards the village ona plain, and taking a slight right around it* Well, want to appear human. Simple things... Don't try to hide much.
8/04Usagi: But you said yourself that it's risky, as I've not had an increadibly long time to refine it...
8/04Rika: *shrugs* If it's worth something, it is going to be risky. Is it worth the risk? OR shouldwe just hide?
8/04Fine, but if anything horribly bad happens, it's your fault... *began to glamour herself, Rika, and Yukari*
8/04Rika: *feels the magic falling over here, and begins to immediately wonder what she looked like*

(Hrm... should I roll dice? XD)
8/04(Sure, why not! XD)
8/04(Hrm... d20 gives a 9, but I'll be nice and give a +2 for being a Fae, -1 for glamouring Rika and the AT-PT, and +3 for Yukari. So, all in all, 13)
8/04(A moderate success, but not a truely good one)

After everything was no longer white, all three of them were rather ugly humans*
8/04Rika: *looks down from her cockpit, which now appeared to be a head* Hrm... Odd. Although, I suppose we'll attract no attention like this*
8/04(OHHHH this'll be good... the continued roll, for once we reach the middle of the village was a 1!)
8/04*they may their way towards the village*
8/04(Oh deary me)

*villagers around them ignore them, one even taking off running at the sight*
8/04*by the time they reach the center of the village, the glamour starts to work slightly as primarily intended, and make them all look like fae*
8/04*doesn't notice as her form shifts to etherial beauty, the towfolk now al starin at her, with storekeeps watching with close eyes*
8/04Usagi: *doesn't notice, but wonders why she's getting stared at*

Yukari: ...I feel suddenly rather short...
8/04Rika: *glances at Yukari, before blancing* Well... the glamour worked, I suppose. But now we look like more fae.
8/04Usagi: Ehh? *looks behind* Ohh, I... guess you're right! Huh... I have a feeling this won't end well...

Yukari: That would be from being used to our world, my dear... Now, let's hurry along, before I have to gap an angry mob away from us~
8/04Rika: *watches the crowd warily* No, they're not going to mob us... They don't trust us. We're strangers, and not the good kind. *walks more quickly* Oh, if we could find the temple...
8/04Usagi: *hurrys after Rika* I hope you're right, and we go un-molested...
8/04*nobody approaches them, and just watches warily as the go along By the time they reach the edge of the village, having caught up to the one villager that had run away*
8/04Yukari: So, how long untill this fades...?

Usagi: I'm... not sure...
8/04Rika: I'm pretty sure that you could cancel it anytime...

Villager: *turns around and stares down the three walking*
8/04Usagi: But I don't know how to cancel it... It faded on its own the other times...
8/04Rika: Well, it will fade eventually...

Villager: *stands in their way, preventing them from walking any further*
8/04Yukari: *grins at the villager* My, and here I was going to say I was impressed that not a single human did anything to stop us!
8/04Villager: You were expecting them to? It was obvious you were not here for them... And the only thing this way is the temple.
8/04Yukari: Where I'm from, humans rape lesser fae, and weak youkai for fun... *shrugs* And yes, we've a bone to pick with the head of the temple...
8/04Villager: Interesting then... What would it be to warn her though...
8/04Usagi: Ehh? Warn her...?
8/04Villager: *reaches up to his ear and pulls out a seed* Of course... Don't you think Hijiri has a lookout or two? *begins to morph back* We'll see you soon enough!
8/04Usagi: Ahh! Hi, mom! *grins* ...Even if you're from another world, and seem to be quite... cooprative with hijiri!
8/04Nue: What can I say? She's all I've left... Plus she is the only one that has the right idea about these humans... Toodles! *vanishes from sight*
8/04*tries to grab her eye so as to keep her from leaving*
8/04Nue: *slips away from her, but is grazed on the eye and is affected as such*
8/04*tries again, even if she seems too far to catch at this point*
8/04Nue: *is brushed once more, causing her to stumble and gasp, but her wings keep clawing her forward*
8/04*hears the noise and grins, going for her eye once more, just to annoy her*
8/04Nue: *grunts in annoyance and sends a UFO straight at them for a distraction*
8/04Usagi: *dodges it*
8/04Rika: Drat it, after her. *takes off running* Of course, if Hijiri is even paying attention, she'll notice the youkai...
8/04*Throws a wing at the UFO and runs after Nue*
8/04*ufo bursts into icy flames**

Rika: Come on, come on... If I just had some null magic right here... *glamour starts to crack*
8/04*Calls back her wing, and throws all fours wings as though they were guided frisbees*
8/04*nue's three wings lash out and counter the blades. However, the fourth frisbee flies out and slashes at her side. She stumbles once more, but finally is able to enter the temple*

(Btw, do her wings look something like the Fierce Deity Link's sword from Majora's? That's what I've been thinking)
8/04(They look like an O with a blade on the outside, and an arroura on the inside when she overclocks them, thanks to being bitten by flan. Look at the cover picture of dreams of paradise for a general idea.)

*as the wings fly away, she has them gradually hook around, and fly back at nue once more*
8/04*growling in agitation, Nue turns around and grabs two of the blades, cutting her self in the process, before dodging the other two*
8/04*makes the two in her hands gradually begin to spin like a combination of a buzzsaw and a sword*
8/04*grips them furiously, trying to squeeze them shut* Dammit... Damn fae. But if that's the way you want to play... *shifts again, this time into the figure of a girl with long white hair*

(I dub thee, swordsaws! The next step of evolution from swordchucks!
8/04Usagi: Great, and now she's being unoriginal... *starts concentrating the rain water into her hand, and makes holes drill into it that are so small that Nue wouldn't be able to see them at this distance* Well, let's see if you're as resistant to ball of ice as me! *freezes it over, causing it to have about five seconds untill it becomes a grenade and throws it at the Nue*
8/04Nue: *leaps into the air, flying high above the ground and staring down at the girl* Well, let's have fun... 'Burn'. *begins summoning hundreds of fiery balls, before flinging them down in sheets at the three*
8/04Yukari: *opens a gap directly above them, and behind Nue*
8/04Nue: *notices the gap in front and immediately looks for anything else, twisting out of the way of other attacks*

Rika: *finally shedding the glamour, she levels the canons at Nue*
8/04*gathers the water of the rain into a pool of water inder Nue* *the grenade explodes, sending shrapenel towards everyone*
8/04Nue: *dodges it relatively easily, considering how high up she is*

Rika: *attempts to twist the mech to the side, as there was no armor on the front, as the shards speed toward her*
8/04Yukari: *opens a gap, shielding Rika and the rest of them from the grenade, and opens another gap behind Nue*
8/04Nue: *twists out of the way again, before melding back into her original form* I can keep this up all day! And I'm sure she knows now, either way!

Rika: Really? Then I suppose we'd better say knock-knock. *lowers the canons at the entrance to the temple, and fires*
8/04*the shot goes through a gap, and comes out another as 5 smaller ones, as the large one would be be a bit overkill*
8/04Nue: *heards the sudden whistling, and twists, one of the shot scraping her wings, nearly severing it. Hissing loudly, she glares before letting the extra wing drop*

???: Oh, Nue... What seems to be the problem out here? *nimbly dodges the shot that levels the front of the complex*
8/04Yukari: My, fancy seeing you~
8/04Hijiri: Greetings there, Yukari. Am I under siege right now? And for what reasons would that be?
8/04Yukari: My, even with this... odd form, you can still recognise me? How very nice... We have reason to believe that you are in posession of... something that you should not be, and that Alice should.
8/04Hijiri: Indeed... The cleansing light does show the truth... *strokes something hidden behind her robes* And a possession of the dollmaker? I have no need for a puppet of my own... Not when I have such lovely, live ones...
8/04(You get stolen away yourself?)
8/04Yukari: *narrows eyes* The book.
8/04Hijiri: *smiles thinly* Oh, that book of hers? Why, I did lift it from her... But it has such lovely spells... Ones I never would have dreamed of.
8/04Yukari: Well, it WOULD be a bit strange if you were to dream of them, but I think that to be beyond the point - hand it over, or I'll be sure to remove your hand along with it.
8/04Hijiri: *click of a lock opening echos across the landscape* Oh, do try. I've been wanting to try out a few spells of my own.
8/04Yukari: *creates a barrier around herself, a barrier around the area, a barrier around the book that should seperate her hand and the book from her person, and a barrier around hijiri in general* *swallows up Rika's mech and all involved and Usagi with a gap* *her eyes warp from purple, and return to being red and toquoise and begin to glow* So be it.

Usagi: Wha-!
8/04Rika: Yuka-

Hijiri: *smiles serenely and floats up, hand pressing against the barrier*
8/04*the two of them land next to Nitori, and the gap closes*

Usagi: What...?

Yukari: *creates a barrier around that barrier in an attempt to sever THAT hand* I can't let you access such things without atleast a fair bit of resistance, you know. *a gap opens inside of the barrier, and a hand attempts to grab the book*
8/04Hijiri: *presses her hand 'into' the barrier, causing it to shatter. The barrier around the book bursts in bright white, as it floats nearer to Hijiri* Now, you will see the world I plan to create, over this one... *a white burst emits from the book and flies up*

Rika: *bangs her head on the interior of the cockpit, before glancing up, slightly dizzy* Mama... is that... you?

(Your Nitori or mine?)
8/04*opens ten gaps in a row in the way, each shielded*

(yours)
8/04Hijiri: *light hits Nue, who immediately splits into multiple copies that proceed to attack* And this is the beginning. Such beautiful youkai... With them, I shall overrun the humans. First here, and then everywhere...

Nitori: *looks up, torn dress as she stares from the ruins of her lab* What? Who's there? More people? More come to ruin me...

Rika: *doesn't notice her words* Hey Mama... Good to see ya... *falls faint in the cockpit*
8/04Yuari: *sticks head in a gap that leads to your Shinki* Your book is being... misused. Do help, as I'm running out of options. The one who's doing this is Byakuren, and no, I'm not the Yukari you know, if you know the Yukari of this world *while head is in the gap, gapping Nues out of existance, or atleast trying to, while dodging everything thrown at her*

Usagi: Ahh, I'm not here to ruin you.
8/04Hijiri: Reinforcements already? Pity... And here I thought you'd be stronger. Oh well. *summons another ball of light from the book*

Makai: *silence* ...I have someone in the area. They should be able to take care of it.

Nitori: Of course you're not! *throws her hand against the wall, breaking it into tiny piece* That's all everyone does to me. So, what now? What have you been sent here for... *pounds against the wall even more* Why can't I be left in peace... with someone...
8/04Yukari: *sigh* Fine... Well, see you around, Shinki! *leaves the gap*

Usagi: But your daughter and I are someone... And I've been sent here because it's getting rather dangerous outside, what with hijiri going insane...
8/04Hijiri: *ball of light shoots at Yukari, tracking her every move as all the Nue attack at once*

???: Seems like you're in a bit of a pickle here, Yukari...

Nitori: Daughter? *gives her a deathglare* Liar.... I have no daughter. I never had a child.... never have
8/04Usagi: ...From the future, she is. And let me tell you, her skills at creating things are top notch... Anywho, I suppose I should wake her... *gives the unconcious slight kappa a frigid hug*

Yukari: Ya think...? If there's one form of magic I have trouble with, it's THAT! *points at the book and makes another of herself so that the ball might get confused*
8/04???: Indeed. I suppose I'll take care of this the old fashioned way. *begins running towards Hijiri, ignoring all of the minions about them.*

Rika: Mweh... *stirs, and eventually wakes up* Where am I? Am I at... home...? Smells like Mama...

Nitori: ............
8/04Usagi: Where are we, anyways...? Yukari kinda just... chucked us here, after all...

Yukari: *watches the orb of light cautiously*
8/04Nitori: This is my lab... A human and an android came and blue it up when I tried to make them stay... *suddenly grins* Does that mean that you're staying here, too?

Rika: *climbs out of the cab, falling out* Stay? Sounds like a good idea... *slowly begins walking towards Nitori*

???: *leaps up the rubble, coming closer and closer to Hijiri*

Hijiri: *begins to head closer to the true Yukari, while the orb speeds forward and slams into the fake one*
8/04Yukari: *flexes her hands, and modifies her border of strength to be that of an oni*

Usagi: Well, I don't see why not... *grins*
8/04Nitori: Good. *smile gets dangerously wide* I don't know what I'd do if you said no...

Rika: *waddles over and slaps her arms around Nitori* Mama... so good to see you. *is still partially delirious*

Hijiri: *smiles as she stops outside of the barrier, only for a gap to open inside and for her to float through it* You should have payed more attention to your clone... Or my minion, so to speak.
8/04Usagi: ...I have a feeling you DO have an idea.

Yukari: Once more, I REALLY hate that magic! *takes down the barrier and prepares for a fight*
8/04Rika: Mama! *hugs and nuzzles her* I missed you...

Nitori: ...Really, I'm your... *eyes beginning to soften in spite of herself* You can't be... I have no.. but future...?

Hijiri: *simply smiles as her minions go after all of them, only to get beaned in the back of a head by a kick*

???2: *huffs and puffs, before launching herself at Yukari clone* I came as soon as Shinki got me the word...
8/04Usagi: *grins, watching the spectacle*

Yukari: *gets into a gap fight with a clone*
8/04Nitori: *listens to Rika purring slightly* I... I'm gonna have a daughter... *sniffs* A family... somebody... *starts to cry, hugging Rika back*

Hijiri: *turns and growls at the girl that kicked her, throwing a beam of light which is easily dodged*

???2: *smacks the head of the Yukari clone with her suitcase*
8/04(I HAVE WAY TOO MANY CHARACTERS XD)
8/04(Heh.)

*tries to make hijiri go blind, while taking on two Yukari clones by way of border countering*

Usagi: Aww... How cute~ Mother and daughter cuddling!
8/04Hijiri: *eyes start to bleed, causing her to grip her face* Grah! You'll be paying for that Yukari...

???: *runs up and launches into a roundhouse kick at Hijiri's face*

???2: *pulls an orb out of her carpetbag, before launching it at the clones*

Rika: *realizes what's she just done* *leans back and looks Nitori in the face* Eheh... Well, wasn't suppose to say, but cat's out of the bag... Hi, mama...
8/04Nitori: Y-you weren't supposed to say? Why- *blinks* Oh, correct. Time travel... are we operating under casualty theory?
8/04Usagi: Though, wouldn't that mean that that was supposed to happen, and she just never told you in the future? ...Thinking about time travel hurts my head...

Yukari: My, you're weak, if attacked directly... *gives her a kidney stone while the two Yukaris she was fighting fall to the ground, one turned to stone, and the other being bitten by her hair that turned into venomous snakes*
8/04Hijiri: *smarts from the bruises on her face* Enough! *summons the book over her head, and begins to warp the ground under all of them*

???2: *immediately begins attacking the Nue's, smothering one with her hat and swallowing one with her suitcase*

Nitori: That... Or you never came from our future, but rather a future, and this is a different timeline that has diverged.

Rika: Really? Does that mean you never... with Mom? That would not happen?

Nitori: It depends. I don't know who your other mother is yet, so I don't suppose I would know... *sadly slumps against Rika* Not like I have anyone right now...
8/04Usagi: Well, when were you... concieved, Rika? And how long untill that time?

Yukari: *makes the kidney stone start to grow slowly*
8/04Hijiri: *doubles over in pain, before enveloping herself in light*

Rika: Well... it's a good twenty five years from now. It's not like it's a month from now or anything.
8/04Usagi: Wow, to think Marisa survives the long... ...Oops...

*watches another clone fall to the ground, as she had been turned into a very large kidney stone*
8/04Hijiri: *Begins to vibrate the ground, as the soft dirt begins to warp into a mass of tentacles made of light.*

Rika: *immediately grasps her stomach, as she is embroiled with pain*
8/04Usagi: Ehh? Ehh?! W-what's going on, Rika?

Yukari: *gaps away from the ground* *gives her an ulcer*
8/04Hijiri: *the ground immediately leaps up, grasping at all it can reach*

Rika: *groans, before looking at her hands as they become translucent* Well, that answers that question...
8/04Usagi: No...! *begins to panic, and near immediately figured out that it's a time thing* *gets the... unique... idea to glamour her, and see if she can be kept existant that way*

Yukari: *gaps away again, and gives her a head ache*
8/04???: *runs up one of the tentacles and attempts to pummel her once more

Rika: *watches her hands change once more before they begin to fade again* So, even not being myself isn't going to save me...

Nitori: If my knowledge of these events are what is doing this... *walks over to the cabinet, and begins tosearch through the drawers* I'll just have to fix that...
8/04*glamours again, and every time she starts fading*

Yukari: *continues dodging and gives Hijiri a very dry pubic shave*
8/04Hijiri: Why you... *angrily growls and shoots a wide beam at her* Come on and 'fight'! None of this crap!

Nitori: It seems if I know what is to come, then I never do get with Rika's mother... So in order for me to have her, I must forget... *takes out a needle, holding it up high* Good thing I've got the right thing.
8/04Yukari: What, do you want your heart on the outside?

Usagi: Well, atleast this lets us know that you knowing she's your daughter won't do this... *glamours again and again*
8/04Nitori: Indeed. But I'll probably forget some. So here goes... *stabs the vial into her arm, and collapses*

Rika: *collapses on top of her, finally phasing in. Her hair, however, begins to change color once the glamor fades*

Hijiri: *glares, and begins to summon the light filled tentacles, raising them many fathoms into the sky*
8/04Yukari: Is that a yes? *reaches in a gap, and holds Hijiri's heart, gently squeezing it, but not pulling it out.*

Usagi: ...You okay...?
8/04Rika: *groans to herself, before looking up at Usagi* Quite. *coughs* Now, have you seen my book?

Hijiri: *triggers the girmoire once again, a red string tying her to Yukari* You do it, same thing happens to you.
8/04Yukari: Only one of us needs a heart, dear~ *begins to squeeze slightly harder* *coughs up blood* So... Are you going to relent? I'd still rather keep my heart, and not have to worry about getting a new one...
8/04Hijiri: You assume that I will remain tethered by these mortal bonds of mine. Strike me down, and I shall become something more terrible than you can imagine.
8/04Yukari: If that were true, wouldn't it make more sense to kill yourself...? *squeezes slightly harder* *coughs up more blood* Ohh, and... *grabs the grimoire through another gap, while she's busy thinking she's won* ...Yoink.

Usagi: Book?
8/04Hijiri: You assume that works both ways. And maybe it would, but suicide is not an answer. *The book begins to make a blinding glow, morphing Yukari as soon as she touchees it*

Rika: Yes, my *cough* book. *slowly gets to her feet, and adjusts her glasses* I wish to discern the effects upstream, to see if Mama's actions affected our home.
8/04Usagi: Well, I don't think you had a book... Atleast... I'm pretty sure... Wait, your parents are Nitori and Marisa, right...? You seem... different, somehow...

Yukari: The hell?
8/04Hijiri: Like it? It's difficult to change the ownership of the book... Which is why I've had to wait so long. But now... All that will happen is that you turn into a little doll, just like Alice...

Rika: The thief? Please, Usagi, *cough* did you hit your own cranium? Mama could never be happy without Mum by our side in the library.
8/04Usagi: *eyes widen* Well, it looks like we now know exactly what changed! Before she did that, your mothers were Marisa and Nitori as of a minute ago...
8/05Yukari: A nice trick, but... Well, I already AM a doll of sorts. *gives a very obvious tumor*
8/05Hijiri: Then your demise would simply be hastened!

Rika: *raises eyebrow* Really? What an odd combination. Why would that be the case. But come quickly... We musn't have Mistress Remilia become annoyed.
8/05Usagi: *does a mental double take* Ohh, gods... And now you're on better than perhaps meal-like terms with big sis Remi from another world...?
8/05Rika: Of course. After all, I am one of her lead engineers and troops, and was sent back to prevent the fall of the glorious Scarlet Empire. *tilts head* Haven't I told you this all before?
8/05(Hey, wait a minute... this reminds me of Remi's wish! XD)

Usagi: *makes a horrified expression* As I just said, untill a few minutes ago, you were mostly human, and slightly kappa... And Yukari and I had convinced you that anyone who makes such a powerful tank shouldn't consider themself just another human... *begins to panic, and gives Nitori an icy hug to wake her* Nitori, Nitori, help!
8/05(indeed it does, does it not? XD a butterfly flaps its wings, and Usagi changes history for the worse)

Nitori: *blearily opens up her eyes, blinking slowly. The drugs are still affecting her* Ehwah? Oh, I think I remember you...

Rika: A pitiful human? Perish the thought... *tsks* Now, now, Usagi, don't tell me you're getting cold feet. Don't you want to help ensure our ascendance of humankind and youkai, alike?
8/05Usagi: Forgetting what you had to made a horrible, horrible change to your future, Nitori! *shakes her slightly, panicking horribly*
8/05Nitori: Really? I messed up the future? *blinks slowly* What did I forget?

Rika: *frowns, and slips a shiny piece of metal from under her jacket* Usagi, I'm warning you...
8/05Usagi: *crushes Rika's eye* Well, first I messed up the future by telling you who Rika's other parent was, and then you fixed that by erasing your memory, but then she became related to pa- ...To someone who I can't say, or the process will repeat!
8/05Nitori: *nods slowly* Is that so bad, though? I don't even know her that well, even though she's my daughter from the future... *glances over* Who is apparently masturbating in my lab...

(Note, the effects of the time stream are not just because of Usagi)
8/05(What are they, then? XD)

Usagi: This one's... dammit, I can't tell you, or it might do other things!
8/05Nitori: *raises eyebrow* Well, how bad is it? Does someone end up taking over the entire world?

(*points at Yukari's battle* At the rate it's going, I'm gonna have to throw in a trump card, which needs to be somewhere else right now. So unless she can finish her business...)
8/05Usagi: *nods very quickly*

(But she seems to be immune to losing!)
8/05Nitori: Well, you might as well... tell me, what happens at least. That way, I can be sure to avoid it.

(Have you tried adjusting the boundaries between the current owner and the previous owner of the book?)
8/05(Well, nothing had worked thus far, so I decided against trying that... Next, I was going to try throwing the book at Alice, and if that didn't work, Shinki.)

Usagi: *shrugs* You and Patche.
8/05Nitori: ...Patchouli? The library? Why would I... I mean, i think she's a nice girl, but she's just so dull... I'd never get together with her unless I was forced to. *glances over at Rika* I suppose that does explain her figure, though...
8/05Usagi: Well, Yukari also made her breasts bigger... Well, atleast in the original time-line...

Yukari: Well, how about this! *tosses the book back to Hijiri, and changes the boundry of ownership to Alice*
8/05Hijiri: *tossing my own book back at me? What a pathetic- *notices her hand turning to wood, before it creeps up her arm* ...You, bitch. You hear me! This whole town reeks with the stench... *stops shouting as her mouth becomes wooden and she falls from the sky*

???: *kicks her for good measure*

???: *swallows up the rest of her clones in her suitcase*

Nitori: Interesting... Oh, but here goes something... *she shifts again, her hair fading to a blonde color. Moscow suddenly makes an appearance and places Rika's headband back on*
8/05(Ohh, great... I wasn't supposed to return the book to Alice, huh...?)


Usagi: *stomps foot repeatedly* Dammit, dammit, dammit...!
8/05(Nah, you should have. It's just now, Nitori will be getting all nice nice with Alice, unless you go out of the way to prevent it)

Moscow: *looks up at you, large doll eyes still filled with worry* What is it, Usagi?

Nitori: Wait a minute... where'd the doll come from? *glances back and forth* This is getting weird...
8/05(*sobs*)

Usagi: I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you mated with Alice to get this change to happen, Nitori... Wait, why can Moscow speak, now...? *sighs*
8/05(Ok, I'll take mercy on ya. Give the book to someone else to take back to Alice, and it'll go back to normal. :P)

Moscow: Because Mashtah trained me well enough to do so. Even Shanghai needs help to do this much.
8/05(Why would having Yukari give it to Alice cause this, though?)

Usagi: Why so quiet, you two? *looks at Rika and Nitori*
8/05(Basically, the timeline is operating on the 'it doesn't change until *you* change it setting. So, as of now, Yukari would regroup with group, and they would all go down. Once Yukari makes the move otherwise, or gives it to another, there would be a change in the timeline, so it would revert again. In other words, Usagi and/or Yukari have to act, or the timeline will snap back)

Nitori: Because I'm currently studying this. I extracted a bit of her DNA to test. As for Rika... *the girl on the floor moans loudly once more* Yeah.
8/05(I'll just do it as I planned to, then! XD)

Usagi: Maybe I shouldn't have blessed her so hard... *sighs* I'm getting a little gung ho... *rubs temples*

Yukari: *opens a gap* Hello, Alice~ You no longer a block of wood? I have a gift for you from the one that stole this~ *waves the grimoire from side to side and grins*
8/05Nitori: Eh, if she really is my daughter, I'll just have to rub this in her face down the line. *sighs, and looks away misty-eyed* such a nice thought, to be able to do that...

Alice: *doesn't respond as she is still a block of wood*
8/05Yukari: *sigh* Kill joy. *tosses the book to her*
8/05Usagi: Plus, she's super sensitive to pleasure, thanks to Yukari fooling around... That, and she has such nice breasts thanks to her... Before, they were rather flat...
8/05(Cretin: There's no need for that...

Lunasa: Oh do shut up)

Alice: *block hits her, before she begins to glow once more, flesh returning to her body*

Moscow: *blinks* Why do I feel so... heavy... I feel like I'm... falling... *clunks out of the air, before pulling herself to her feet, all traces of life gone*

Rika: *transforms back into her old, red headed self. And still moans on the floor*
8/05Nitori: Oh, so she took after the other mother, then? Pity... At least it won't be hard to find a mate for her now...
8/05Usagi: I really wish I know how to undo this bit of blessing... Also, it seems the time-line has been restored! ...And Moscow is back to normal, too.

Yukari: Hello, Alice~ You're no longer a block of wood, huh? I have a gift for you from the one that stole your book~ Man, Hijiri really was a bit off her rocker, but now she's as wooden as you once were~ *grins*
8/05Usagi: I'll have you know that flat chests are very attractive to some people...! *pouts at Nitori*
8/05Alice: Ugh... Where... Where am... Yukari? My grimoire... Shanghai! Hourai! *looks up and blanches at the sight* What happened...

Nitori: *can't help but to grin at the girl* Oh, of course... A mate has to be more than just a body. It's the person on the inside that counts, right?
8/05Usagi: *blushes* Th-the inside...? How can I tell if my insides are pretty? I don't really want to get stabbed in the gut a third time... or dismembered again... or decapitated once more, for that matter... *shudders*

Yukari: Well Hijiri stole the Shinki's grimoir from you, and somehow made it her own... Yo were a doll. Now she is, due to a bit of border manipulation on my part.
8/05Nitori: *shakes her head* You're taking it too literally... and I'm the one that's supposed to be the scientist. How amusing...

Alice: *nods idly, while clutching grimoire* Oh, alright... that would explain it... *shivers slightly* Good then. Now, I need to get my dolls to me...
8/05Usagi: I mean, Cirno loves me, and I love her, a-and we're both flat as can be, and yet neither of us seem to mind... ...And then there's the number of youkai that worship me, due to... my unique power...
8/05Yukari: Ohh, and Moscow was a big help~
8/05Alice: Wha? *blinks* Little tiny Moscow got out of all this? Wow...

Nitori: I've never called it into question. *pats her head* And with a power like that, would you have trouble converting anyone?
8/05Usagi: *sighs* You tell me... *gives her eye the gentlest of strokes*
8/05Nitori: *eyes widen* My supposition is correct... Just be careful with that, or you'll mess up the timeline even more...
8/05Usagi: Ehh? How would I do that...? I mean, it's just pleasure... Even if that was the lightest manipulation I can do...

(Ohh, that would be a hilarious outcome...)
8/05(*snickers* You're telling me... Be careful, now. :P)

Nitori: As I said, you might want to be careful... A power like that can warp the mind after enough exposure.
8/05Usagi: Really...? I guess I'd make as good of a goddess as the Kanako of my world fears, huh...? Maybe I should stop using it so much... *sighs sadly*

(But that'd be interesting, to have to fix that! XD And yet Usagi is too agreeable to mess up that badly, unless someone says bad things about Cirno!)
8/05Nitori: You'd have the power, but would you have the temperament.... *ponders* If only I had that power... Never would have to be lonely, hrm?

(Do what you want, as always. I'll find a way to clean it up)
8/05(And now I have ammo!)

Usagi: Aww, don't be lonely... *gives her a a chilly hug* I'm here, and I already said I'm not leaving for now, didn't I? *grins* Plus, with Rika as she is, I doubt that she'll want to go for awhile, and I think you're a pleanty interesting person!
8/05Nitori: That sounds... nice... *gives her a nervous smile, eyes shining* It'd be nice to have someone stay... here...

Rika: *begins to shift behind them, glowing softly*

(loading cannon...)
8/05Usagi: Plus, judging by the temperment of the godess I met, I don't think I'd be THAT far off... I can be pretty affectionate, you know...
8/05(*snicker*)

Nitori: *blushes, before looking up at her through her eyelashes* Really? That'd be... nice...

Rika: *hair begins to shorten slightly as it fades to a blue color. her entire body becomes slightly smaller, as well*
8/05Usagi: *hugs tighter* Plus, in this farm, I can breathe water as though it were air! There's no need to feel lonely, while I'm around, you know...? Though, I do wonder how many followers I'm hae, thanks to Aya's notes...
8/05Nitori: *falls into her, letting her face inch up to Usagi's* Really? That sounds... real nice... Maybe we could stay... And you can show me how much power that you have?

Rika: *breathes out a could of misty air, as water begins to pool on her back*
8/05Usagi: But... I'm pretty weak, save for my ability to influence eyes...
8/05Nitori: You have to start somewhere... And... I'd like you to show me what you can do to me... together...
8/05Usagi: *blushes* L-like this... *gently rubs Nitori's eye*
8/05Nitori: *moans softly and presses against the ice fairy, pressing her lips against her neck* Y-yes......

Rika: *water begins to pool to form a pair of wings which slowly begin to beat*
8/05Usagi: *is weak to pleasure so doesn't try to stop the kissing* Mm...!

*The eye manipulation finally starts to fade from Rika*
8/05Nitori: *moves up to kiss around Usagi's lips*

Rika: *groans and finally begins to rise, wobbling on her tiny feet and fluttering her watery wings* Whoah.... That was nice... Best one yet, mom... *sees Nitori kissing Usagi* Hey! Why are you kissing Usagi, Nitori? Without waiting for me, at least... *heads over to them*
8/05Usagi: *slowly closes eyes and quivers, hardly noticing Rika's new form*
8/05Rika: *finally walks over and wraps her hands around Usagi too, nuzzling against her* Why are you being so stingy, mom? Share the love...
8/05Usagi: *is no longer thinking strait, so gives Rika's eye a light rub*
8/05Rika: *shivers and presses against her back, kissing her neck*

Nitori: *begins to run her hands up under Usagi's shirt, while leaning straight in for a kiss*

(Fair warning... You'll shift the timeline dramatically if you continue here. :P)
8/05(Well, all that means is that time travel would be needed to fix it back to the way things should be, once Yukari gets wind of the change! XD Plus, I'm curious as to how things with turn out, honestly. I mean, at the rate things are going, Usagi will start to become more and more willing to bless people, and eventually start to really be like a goddess! XD)

Usagi: *shivers and trembles at the great deal of attention* mmm...! M-more... *pants*
8/05(Exactly, but considering we're piling time travel on top of time travel... XD Plus, I'm aware. She might even want to stay and take over)

Rika: *as she says as much, she slips a hand down her and up her skirt*
8/05Usagi: Ahh...! *mewls, enjoying the attention a great deal* *strokes both of their eyes lightly*

(Yukari: When I entered this world, it was obvious that it would need a bit of fixing by the end~ I do enjoy messing around, in ways such as kidnapping mimics for magic tricks while drunk~ *continues to watch the show*)
8/05Rika: *shivers, and immediately presses into her, sharing the pleasure to the greatest extent*

Nitori: *begins to move her hands even faster, pinching at the girl's nipples as they kiss*
8/05Usagi: A...ahh... *drools lightly, and begins to go weak in the knees*
8/05Rika: *lifts her up as she continues to move faster*
8/05(Plus, I can easily imagine Usagi easily changing her tune... I mean, the reason she loves Cirno in the first place is primarily due to being kissed by her so much...)

*bucks at the attention*
8/05(So, she's more in lust with her than anything?)

Nitori: *leans forward and whispers in her ear* Now, is this good enough? Will you stay?
8/05(That is the glue that holds them together, but there are some emotions in there. too.)

Usagi: *shoulders tense and shudders from the voice in her ear* Y-y-yes...! I'll... I'll stay...!
8/05Nitori: *smiles and pulls her close* Good, I'd hate it if you left us both...

Rika: *reaches out and tries to touch Usagi's eye*
8/05Usagi: *shivers at the sudden intrusion on her very being* mm... *squirms in pleasure a bit*
8/05Nitori: Good... I hope we're making you happy...
8/05Usagi: Mnn... *gives Nitori a begging look and pants heavily, her underwear now a mess*
8/05Nitori: *leans down and works with Rika to help tease her*
8/05Usagi: *quivers and arches back, brushing a finger over each of their eyes* You two are... *shivers* R-really g- *wait... isn't Rika supposed to...* *shivers, and gets her train of thought broken by the wonderful attention being given*
8/05Rika: *immediately moans and presses herself against Usagi's rear*

Nitori: *shivers and looks back up Usagi* Should I use the... cucumber sciences?
8/05Usagi: The wha... *shivers at the pressing* I... Does it feel good...?

(HAH, but isn't this 25 years early? This ought to be interesting...)
8/05Nitori: Yes.... You'll like them, I do believe... *takes out a one that is softly glowing*

(Well, I did say major changes. If you weren't careful, we might have had Rika teaching Nitori them instead XD)
8/05Usagi: *nods timidly, and blushes bright red, looking away* I-if you s-say so... *a bit intimidated by the size of the thing*
8/05Nitori: I do... trust me, you like... *grins and lowers it closer, pressing it slowly in*
8/05Usagi: *flinches* Ngh... S-so much...
8/05Nitori: *slowly, oh so slowly moves it inside her*

Rika: *stands back up and presses her breasts against Usagi's back and wings, kissing her neck*
8/05Usagi: *archs her back, and grips at anything she can get her hands on, as the sensation is maddening* Ahh...! Ahmmm... *trys to avoid biting lip* I-it's so... good...
8/05(Which reminds me... I've always wondered just how powerful Satori was, and wondered if she could manipulate conciousness, as Koishi does with the unconcious... We think pretty darn alike, in some regards, huh...?)
8/05Nitori: *continues to slowly pump it in, until Usagi archs and starts to flail, then to slowly pull it out*

Rika: *noticing she needs something to grab on, gets to one side and places one of Usagi's hands on her breasts*

(Sorry, computer got stolen. And yes, you're correct, we do. Even considering Marisa's deal. But it makes sense, right? If Remilia and Flandre both have abilities relating to fate (controlling and destroying, in my view), then shouldn't the two have both similar powers? And there's nothing to suggest that one is stronger than the other... But basically, I buffed everyone, to put it lightly. XD

And even if we're two of a kind, you're the cuter one. :P)
8/05(*Blushes*)

Usagi: C-cu...! *clenches up on the thick thing, her knees smacking together, as she had finally reached the point of an orgasm* *with her lip trembling and eyes closed tightly, she let out a silent scream of pleasure* *her hands start to try and grip at anything they can, one squeezing Rika's breast hard, and the other finding nothing to grip*
8/05(Mission successful )

Nitori: *begins to pump it in and out even faster as she goes, the glowing beginning to intesify the longer it is in together. As she does so, she leans in to kiss that open mouth once more, letting Usagi's hand grasp onto her*

Rika: *squeals in pleasure as her breast is fondled by Usagi, the sheer sensitivity driving her halfway to her own*
8/05Usagi: *throws head back, moaning loudly*
8/05*cucumber starts to dissolve into a cloud of little swimmers, who begin to seek their target inside of her*
8/05Usagi: *stiffens* E-ehh...? *suddenly feels full if a very different way*
8/05Rika: *takes the advantage of the distraction to throw her self all over Usagi, locking lips with her as her water wings meet Usagi's icy ones*
8/05Usagi: *quivers in pleasure from the wings touching her own while the warmth in her deepest reaches gives her a very, very happy feeling*
8/05Rika: *keeps kissing, slipping her tongue as she continues to try and bring the girl back to climax*

Nitori: *circles around and hugs her from the rear, nuzzling the girl's head* Thank you thank you thank you....
8/05Usagi: *enjoys the warm fluids seeping out of her* F- mmm... F-for... what...? *pants heavily from all that is going on with her wings*
8/05Nitori: For giving me... a family... *sighs and kisses her neck*

Rika: *completely melds her wings around Usagi's icy wings*
8/05Usagi: *goes stiff and has another orgasm from the sudden combination of a full wing stimulation and the kiss* Hnnn...! *her knees knock together once more, and her insides begin to spasm* *Due to the orgasm, she hardly heard what had just happened, let alone understand it*
8/05Rika: *let's her fall against her, resting her head on her breasts as she orgasms* You know, mom.... That was so much fun, wasn't it?
8/05Usagi: *eyes go wide* M-mom...? *realization hits her like a brick wall* ...Well, I...I guess there's no changing it now, huh...? *sighs and turns around to give her accidental daughter a hug, followed by a kiss to Nitori*
8/05Rika: *giggles, and floated into the air* That was so weird, but so fun... I kissed my mom as I was conceived...

Nitori: *kisses back, and offers her hand* So... are you going to... keep... your promise?
8/05*takes the hand with a blush* Y-yeah... *smiles slightly* I guess I will, huh? ...Wait, if you've wings like that, what are you, Rika? I mean, you'd be mostly mimic, right...?
8/05Rika: *shakes her head slightly* Nope... Mama and I did tests... Mimicry is a recessive gene. Plus, it is overridden by what you're currently mimicing. Which is why I'm a water fairy... Part kappa, part ice fairy. *looks down* Is that... ok with you? To have a daughter that isn't a mimic?
8/05Usagi: It's fine, honey... *feels a warmth in her chest* I have a... kid...? *smiles and touches her still reletively flat stomach* ...So, that means I'm pregnant now, huh...?
8/05Rika: Yup! You do... Gotta love cucumber science... *leans down and rubs her stomach* Hello there, little me... You inside your awesome mom there... Ehe... She tastes good too.

Nitori: That she does... *pulls her close* And I wonder if I could have some fun right now, if you want to, wife.

(So, when is she gonna realize about Cirno? They definitely don't know... and Moscow can't speak. so... Yukari?)
8/05Usagi: I-I... *blushes*

*gap opens up, dumping Cirno in*

Cirno: Owie... Ehh? Usa! *grins* Hey, I'm a pixie again!*shivers wings*

Usagi: *Eyes go as wide as dinner plates, and a cold sweat settles in*
8/05Nitori: Oh, another ice fairy? You look like Cirno... But, not Cirno at the same time.

Rika: *waits patiently, still feeling Usagi's stomach*
8/05Usagi: *pale skin goes snow white* Ahahah...

Cirno: How can I not look like me, and yet look like me...?
8/05Nitori: Your teeth are sharper than I'm used to seeing from you... Plus, you recognized Usagi...

Rika: *looks up at Usagi* Are you alright? You look really pale...
8/05Cirno: Well, why wouldn't I? I'm her master! ...Also, why are your breasts so small? Did they shrink...?
8/05Nitori: *looks down at her breasts and pokes them* They've always been this size... And why would you know what size they are? I've never met you in person...

Rika: *eyes widen and turns to Usagi* Master? What does she mean...

(One more chance, or Rika's gonna be dropping the hammer)
8/05(? Hammer...??)

Cirno: What do you mean...? You made that giant magnifying glass that Marisa used to blow a hole in Youkai Mountain! ...Wow, those are some pretty wings! I've never seen wings made of water before... And I'm the one that taucht my little mimic to be a fairy! She even learned to do that little trick with a hole in water... Still have no idea how, though.
8/05Rika: Thank you! *pats Usagi and looks at Nitori* I got them from mom and mama! At least, I will... Ehe.... Was back here in the past. Am from the future.
8/05Cirno: ...Wha...? I didn't know you were a mommy, Usa! Wait, the future...? Does... what... Usa, who's the other mother...?

Usagi: Erm... I-it's Nitori... *looks away, her skin just about transparent that she was such a ghostly white*

Cirno: Wha... When did... How... You stole my usa...? *looks at Nitori with teary eyes*
8/05Nitori: Your Usa...? She told me should would stay... Been so lonely, wanted someone to stay with me... *gives Usa a sad look* But you had... had someone else?

Rika: *own skins turn white* Mom? You were... Cirno...? *can't believe as she watches Usagi* You never told... me...
8/05Usagi: I-it's not my fault, entirely...! I-I'm not good at resisting much of anything after being embraced... Also, I was interacting with the version of you that was spawned from Nitori and Marisa, so I saw no reason to... Nitori, I meant I'd be your friend, but then you started... t-touching me, and eventually I gave into the pleasure... *looks down* *touches belly* And... now I'm pregnant...

Cirno: ...Well, that I can see that happening, as you always turn so... passive when I kiss y- wait, pregnant? ...With her? *points at Rika* ...Hum... Can't really reverse that, so maybe we could share Usa...?

Yukari: Dammit! *pops out of gap* You were supposed to drive a wedge between them!

Cirno: No...! D-don't turn me human, again! *backs away*
8/05Nitori: Share? Just... Just don't leave me alone again... Please...

Rika: *mind suddenly shimmers, and she suddenly grows an extra pare of wings made of ice* Hey! No hurting Auntie Icy!

(You know, this time travel thing is getting really amusing...)
8/05Usagi: ...Well, I'm happy with this outcome... *hugs Cirno and Nitori closely*

Yukari: *sigh*
8/05Rika: *pokes her with watery spear* What is it?
8/05Usagi: ...Wait, have you met big sis remi? That spear style looks so... familiar... And if you haven't, we should all go visit her! *grins*
8/05Rika: Your big sis Remi, or Mama's big evil Remi?
8/05Usagi: My sister! The one from my world! Well, and big sis Flan. Heck, she might even teach you a thing or two about kyuuing! ...Not that I don't need the sessons, either...
8/05Rika: But... I thought that I couldn't kyuu, since I wasn't a mimic? That's what you told me...
8/05Usagi: *raises a brow* But you kyuued me just now, when we were having fun...
8/05Rika: I did? *looks down at hands* I can do that? That's so strange... I was just trying to have as much fun as possible...
8/05Usagi: Well, seeing as it has nothing to do with being a mimic... I mean, I gained the powwer by being a vampire, and being turned by Flan... If one can see eyes, they can manipulate them it seems...

(I feel as though the plot has derailed, but this is rather interesting, too! XD)
8/05(What plot? XD You kinda went crazy with the timey wimey ball.... :P Poor Rika... starting as a normal science girl and ending up as a busty kappa/water fairy.

Rika: *Stares at Usagi, but can barely see something floating behind her in the distance*
8/05(Well, it's a CYOA! XD I can't resist screwing around! I can only imagine what her sister is like...)

Usagi: Do you see the flickering flame that pulses? touch it.

Yukari: *yawn*
8/05(Honestly? I don't even know if she was born...)

Rika: *stares intently, and squeezes the flickering light*
8/05(HAH, wow...)

Usagi: Mmm...! *shudders* S-see...?
8/05(Yup, congratulations. You've screwed up the timeline so much, I don't know what's going to happen... At this rate, there won't even be an explosion)

Rika: *stares at her hands, a small smirk coming over* Yeah, I do...
8/05(Well, that's... interesting... Eheh, I'm good at choosing the strange choices, I guess... Good thing this isn't canonically happening, huh? XD)

Usagi: See? Now you've an ability that your sister lacks! *grins*
8/05(Oh, you have no idea... That's why I gave up trying to keep it to canon. XD Trust me, even if I used Genji, I have no doubt you'd figure a way to turn him into a fairy. Probably a busty one, too. :P)

Rika: *tilts her head* I have... a sister...?
8/05Usagi: ...You don't have a sister? I suppose we should fix that eventually, huh Nitori and Cirno?

Cirno: *face gets very cold, and a blush spreads across it*
8/05Rika: *blinks, and then shakes her head* No... no sisters... Nothing of the sort. Not yet, at least. *tilts head, beating her wings* I wonder if I would even realize if I change, though...
8/05Usagi: You didn't when Nitori ended up with Marisa, which is the correct time-line, Alice, or Patchoul... And then now, or the time before Cirno was your auntie. Though, I have a feeling Nitori remembers. Don't you, honey?
8/05Nitori: I remember Rika changing, so many times... The only real noticeable time was when you were Patchouli's daughter... and you tried to kill Usagi.
8/05Cirno: *grumbles in jealousy*

Usagi: *kisses Cirno* Which was why I kyuued you quite hard, Rika, if you remember that still.

Yukari: I really do wonder if it's for the best, or for the worst, to breed between parts of the multiverse...
8/06Rika: The what a what? And what's the worst that could happen?
8/06Yukari: Changing of history would be the most obvious one. The only question is, is the world better off?
8/06Rika: I wouldn't know. Nothing really changes in the future... Cirno and Usagi stay here, and you pop in from time to time... But Gensokyo stays Gensokyo. Why? Would it be worse?
8/06Yukari: ...No, it wouldn't. Though, Flandre may make a mess of my gensoukyo, in search of her little sister... Very few things can stop her.
8/06Rika: Well, knowing the Remilia over here... you might as well port her over. Although... what if you merge the two together, somehow?
8/06Yukari: That simply wouldn't work with anything short of the power of two of myself...
8/06Rika: Well, it's certainly a thought... Besides... something is telling me.... *screws up her face* It isn't... magic if it isn't... flashy?
8/06Usagi: Huh... You said that when you were Marisa's daughter.

Cirno: This starting to give me a headache, trying to figure out how all this time stuff works...

Yukari: And it's only 6.3173% as hard as making use of borders and gaps~
8/06Rika: I did? Interesting... Maybe I still remember a little...

Nitori: Did you have one version of me do that calculation for you?
8/06(And sorry for the long wait... I found an anime series that I actually 'like')
8/06(It's fine~ Also, please don't have anyone try to get her to do hard math! XD)

Yukari: No, I did that myself. It takes a mathmatical genious to make use of the magic I technically taught myself, as well as perfect calculations of spacial coordinates being made in an instant... There's a reason so few know how to use my magic.
8/06(Aww... Well, I can still talk in generalities. But no 11th dimensional physics? damn...)

Nitori: It wouldn't be that hard to program a quantum kappa cucumber computer, though. They can keep up with such calculations. Then, using a proper application of antigravity...

Rika: Would stabilize a wormhole torn with a point project of infinite mass in space time. Now, identifying the other end would be the tricky part, as you would need to delve into...

Nitori: Various aspects of string theory, considering you must follow the threads in spacetime from one point ot another. Unlesss one constructs both ends of the wormhole without connecting them...
8/06(And this anime makes me wonder why there's no Touhou/Rozen Maiden Crossover. That would work so well with Alice...)
8/06Yukari: Right, you keep trying that. *shrugs* If you manage to make a flawless recreation of my power, we could combine the worlds, though it may cause a pocket dimension.

Cirno: *plugs ears, as her head hurt just trying to understand that* Why didn't Keine's classes cover these things...?
8/06Rika: I don't know if Keine covers interdimensional mathmatics.... It'd be hard enough keeping one dimensions rules straight, but two?
8/06Yukari: Right~ Ohh, and if you two need anything to create... whatever it is going to be called, do tell~
8/06Nitori: If you say so... But it'd be more fun to do it on our own, right? ...Hrm...
8/06Yukari: Fine, fine~

Usagi: *thinking happily about the future*
8/06Rika: *looks at Usagi, while thinking of how to take advantage of her power* What's on your mind, Mom?
8/06Usagi: A-ahh... I was just thinking... about how happy I am, as I feel loved on a whole new level... *blushes brightly*
8/06Nitori: *hears her and smiles* That would be... very nice... *wraps her arm around Usagi, and offers a hand to Cirno* So, does that mean that I get to keep you too?

Rika: *out of sense of curiosity, strokes everyone's eye firmly, to see how they'd react*
8/06Cirno: Mmm...! U-usa...?! *quivers and pants hard*
8/06Usagi: Mmm... S-so good... *drools lightly*
8/06Nitori: Gyah! Usagi, did you just... wait...

Rika: Interesting reaction... but I swore I got Yukari too. Must get as many test subjects as possible... *reaches out for everyone's again, including Yukari's, and gives a slightly rough twist*
8/06Yukari: *stops blocking the power, for the hell of it* *cluches at her genitals, and gives an ahegao*

Cirno: S-so much... p-pleasure... *bucks a bit, a slight puddle appearing under her*
8/06Usagi: Mmm...! *moans happily*
8/06Nitori: *falls to the ground, moaning slightly as she begins to sweat*

Rika: Indeed... A universal reaction from everyone... some more than others though. It does make a body wonder... *flaps her odd wings in consternation* I could set up some serious experiments with this... Comparing a fairy with humans and with various types of youkai... Maybe a goddess or two, also.
8/06Usagi: Th-that a girl- hnn... Though, be careful... B-being worshiped is- mmm...! irritating...
8/06Rika: You won't be saying that for long... Quite the opposite in fact. But don't worry, everything I do would be in your name. Now, Yukari, could you be a dear and bring me some representative samples of Gensokyo?
8/06Yukari: Such as? It's best to be exact.

Usagi: But... if you do it in my name-

Cirno: You'd become stronger! Even fae have gods, Usa! ...Even if we are a bit short...
8/06Rika: Well, to be honest, since she isn't a true fae, and is instead a mimic... *lectures slightly* And a god with more faith begins to grow. You would end up growing taller. As for whom... We have a kappa and an ice fae. Mom wouldn't count, so we still need a baseline human, a goddess, one or two standard youkai, and a tengu. Plus a poltergeist or ghost would be nice. *ponders who to take*
8/06Yukari: *opens a gap, and Akyuu, Hina, Rumia, Mima, Wriggle, and Merlin all fall in a heap*
8/06Rika: Well, that was rather quick... Thank you, Yukari. Might need to get something else, but this is a good group.

Wriggle: Eh? Eh wot.... What's going on... Oh, 'tis you. What you doing here, you blighter. And why am I here?

Merlin: Ohhh, this is a nice looking cave. Good scorch marks too. Must be a very fancy designer who lives here! But where is the human? We were about to play scrabble...
8/06(Ok, mad scientist time. And at this rate, we'll cause an incident...)
8/06(Wriggle's a Tengu in my world, btw)

Akyuu: Ehh...? Eek! Youkai! *cowers away from them all*

Mima: Ohh, shut it, Akyuu. I've told you several times that the youkai with a brain are harmless to those with brains!

Rumia: That is so~

Hina: Just my luck... I think I broke my tail bone...
8/06(Roger that, would explain why there ain't none here. We'll just have to grab Aya later and torture her some more. XD)

Rika: ...Ok, This almost makes me wish I could have my Akyuu here, just to show that one...

Merlin: Aww, shucks. But that wouldn't be so bad would it? You could have a new tailbone put in, that allows you to spin anywhere!

Wriggle: *sighs* Confound it. Answer me, what are we doing here?
8/06Hina: No... It'll heal, soon enough.

Akyuu: *looks at Rika with fear in her eyes, before noticing Nitori* N-nooo...! Don't take my shirikodama!

Rumia: *grins toothily at Akyuu* You smell so tasty, Akyuu~ Just as you did when we first met~ ...So fearful.

Yukari: *shrugs* We're going to see about combining two versions of Gensoukyo, Wriggy~
8/06Wriggle: ...I... think I see. That would explain why Akyuu over here is acting like a total pansy. The one I know would have kicked everyone three ways from Sunday already.

Nitori: ...Why would I take it? I don't need them... But if you're not careful, Rika might take something even more valuable...

Rika: *glances at Rumia, and shakes her head* No eating anybody, Rumia. That's not what we're here for.

Wriggle: Then praytell, what 'are' we here for?
8/06Akyuu: M-more valuable than my soul?! *cowers*

Yukari: Good question, really. I don't feel like explaining it, though~ Why don't you kappa do it? I mean, I was following your instructions, after all~ Though, I do think I grabbed the wrong wriggle ...somehow. *grins*
8/06Rika: *strokes Akyuu's eye* Perhaps...

Wriggle: ...There's another one of me? By Jove!

Merlin: And you've grabbed the wrong Hina too! The other one puts up more resistance than this! *is holding Hina up in the air and spinning her like a basketball on her finger*
8/06Hina: W-why is your finger THERE? *blushes and tries to get off of her finger*

Akyuu: Hnnn...!! W-wh-wha... What was... mmm... that...? *pants, slightly calmed by the fog in her head*

Usagi: Yeah, Wriggle. It's the one I spoke of when I greeted you, remember?
8/06Merlin: Oh shush, is there something wrong with putting my finger on your foot? *waits a beat* If I put it there, I'd be using eggplant!

Rika: That is a little gift I want to offer, little Akyuu...

Wriggle: You spoke? Oh, that's right! Sorry... my memory is foggy...
8/06Akyuu: But... what was it...? *looks at with misty eyes*
8/06Rika: *gives her eyeball a poke*
8/06Akyuu: oww!

Usagi: Stop tormenting the poor girl, Rika... *gives Rika's eye a tap*
8/06Rika: *Ahh!* *doubles over* Wrong eye, wrong eye...
8/06Usagi: *folds arms* Now say you're sorry to poor little Akyuu.

Cirno: ...You sure do take punishment seriously, Usa...

Usagi: Well, why shouldn't I? Akyuu won't regrow anything she loses...

Cirno: Ahh, right... I always forget that...
8/06Rika: Yes, mom... *walks over to Akyuu and kneels at her feet* Will you please forgive this part-kappa?
8/06Akyuu: *the one open eye goes wide in shock, while she rubs the pained one* I, umm... erm... I guess that'd be fine...?

Usagi: Good! All better.

Rumia: Is that so~?

Mima/Usagi: That is so~!
8/06Merlin: Yay! Alright, let's play twister! I'll get the jello!

Rika: Uh-huh, you're not going anywhere. *Flicks her eye*

Merlin: *shudders, before a cross look comes over her face* .what did you just do...
8/06Usagi: She just gave you a blessing in my name, that's all.

Hina: Ahh, you're that new goddess, aren't you! *trips while on the way to Usagi* Oww...

Usagi: *offers hand* That's close enough to right... I have few followers, but I suppose it's true that I'm a goddess of sorts.*
8/06Rika: Yup, all hers. I'm her daughter, but from the future. So you'll have to get her jollies from her instead of me! Isn't that right, Merlin?

Merlin: ...*blank look comes over face* You are able to induce... euphoria?
8/06Usagi: Yeah...? Why do you ask? *Smiles*
8/06Merlin: *frown crosses her face* That... that is my job. What have you done? Come to steal our fans? To steal my... friend?
8/06Usagi: ...No? I don't want to steal anything, honestly... Also, what friend?
8/06Merlin: Really... *doesn't believe her* and I'm not telling you his name, but sister calls him cretin! That has a nice ring to it though... I might call him that too!
8/06Usagi: He sounds like a nice guy, if that's his nick-name... Also, why can't we share friends, if it comes down to it? Heck, I could even be your friend!
8/06Merlin: But I just met you... shouldn't you buy me a drink, if you're going to be so forward? *tilts his head*

(To be honest, I'd be very worried if I met Usagi for real.)
8/06(Heh, why is that? XP She's a great deal like me! [Because she is me!])

Usagi: Ehh? Well, if you say so... *makes water from outside come to her hand in the shape of an orb, and freezes most of the surface* Here!
8/06(Well, would I have to worry about you trying to eat me, or kyuuing me all day?)

Merlin: *looks at her oddly, before smiling* Brilliant! *takes the glass from her and drinks from it, before smacking her lips and throwing her arms around her* Thanks, friend!
8/06(There are many, many less interesting people to eat! Though, kyuuing... Maybe.)

Usagi: Hehe, you're very welcome, friend! *hugs back*
8/06(Maybe? Well, perhaps that wouldn't be such a bad risk to take. Although, I'll not your subconscious didn't chime in. :P)

Merlin: This calls for a celebration! eggplants for everyone! *pulls an eggplant out of her hat and breaks it into pieces*
8/06(I'm strangling her to keep her quiet~)

Usagi: *sniffs and nibbles*

Yukari: *pops it in her mouth*

Rumia/Mima: *swallows it whole*

Akyuu: *nibbles it timmidly*
8/06(Aww, poor subconscious... *pats her head* The mean conscious will let her out to speak, right...?)

Wriggle: *takes it and looks at it oddly* Did you do anything odd to this?

Rika: *takes a large bite*

Nitori: *licks the skin off*

Merlin: Maaybee...

Rika: *turns purplly*

Nitori: *breasts shrink noticeably*
8/06Everyone on my side save for Yukari: Ehh?!
8/06Merlin: Yehehehe... *waits and sees what happens to the others*
8/06Usagi: *breasts turn to the size of beach balls*

Cirno: *hair turns blonde*

Rumia: *turns rainbow, but quickly reverses this by rippling her skin*

Mima: *turns into a loli*

Yukari: *hair gets shinier and skin grows softer* *smirk*
8/06Merlin: Well, that went well... *turns to Akyuu and tilts head* No visible change... maybe it's all in her head? Pity if there isn't...

Rika: *stares at her mom for a moment, before clutching at her own chest as it grows to match* Whoah... This is... is... *spots Yukari just sitting there prettier and glares*
8/06Rumia: *begins to push Mima against a wall* Mmm... Mima's bit sized~

Mima: Eep...! *gets her neck licked and gently nipped at*

Usagi: ... *pokes her own huge breasts, and watches them sway from side to side*

Akyuu: I feel... strange...

Cirno: *looks at Usagi's breasts, and holds her own with envy, even if she doesn't want ones THAT big*
8/06Merlin: *floats over and begins to poke at Akyuu* Howso?

Nitori: *folds her arms over her own chests and also stares at Usagi in envy*

Rika: *stares at Rumia and Mima having fun with each other, and starts to get jealous* I wanna have fun with someone, too...
8/06Rumia: Well, help me with Mima, weird fairy! *grins*

Usagi: A-ahh... C-cirno... Nitori... Don't look at me like that - I don't even want them!

Akyuu: I... my everything hurts...
8/06Merlin: Eheh, this will be amusing...

Rika: *almost goes over to the two, but is stopped by Akyuu's sounds* Akyuu... are you... *walks over to her and pulls her head over to her large chest*

Nitori: *turns to Cirno, and raises an eyebrow, asking a silent question*
8/06Akyuu: *doubles over* Oww... o-oww... S-so this is... how I die, this... time...?
8/06Rika: *shakes her head* No, no dying. I want to show you so much else... Show you all. But you can't know if you go and kick it. So, live...
8/06Akyuu: *a pair of wings suddenly rip from her back, while she screams in pain*
8/06Rika: *recognizes what is happening, and leans in to kiss her, softly caressing her eye to calm her down*
8/06Akyuu: *the wings are those of a bat* Nnn...! *quivers in both pain and pleasure, but enjoys the feeling of a tongue in her mouth, but soon four of her teeth fall out painfully*
8/06Rika: *pits out the teeth, before peering into the girl's mouth* Your canine teeth... Bat wings... You're becoming a vampire...
8/06Yukari: ...This just isn't my day for historical accuracy...

Akyuu: W-wha- Urgh... *shivers in pain* I-I'm... *fangs suddenly shot out of her four open wounds, and extended to full length, before retracting* I'm no y-you...kai...! *her hair turns blonde, and her eyes turn yellow*

Usagi: ...You look familiar, like that...
8/06Nitori: Considering what little I know, we might as well give up while we're ahead in regards to that... *sneaks up on Usagi and grabs her huge breasts*

Rika: you're turning into one, but it's ok... *leans in to kiss her neck, leaving her own bare and ready to be bitten*
8/06(Have you figured out who she looks like? XD)

Usagi: Ahh...!

Akyuu: *eyes flare yellow for a second, and her fangs lengthen* *mumbles* Hungry...
8/06(Hello, Flan-chan...)

Rika: *grins into her neck, before whispering* I've got two nice, ripe melons here... Or would you rather be having blood...? *gives her eye a ghost of a touch*
8/06(No, she has red eyes. Akyuu now has yelow eyes.)

Akyuu: *flinches, and digs her fangs in*
8/06(Wait wait... Kurumi?)

Rika: *gasps as the fangs penetrate her skin, before clinging to the vampire girl*
8/06(Bingo!)

Akyuu: *drinks blissfully*

Yukari: Dammit... That wasn't supposed to happen yet, and not under these conditions... *mumbles* Usagi was supposed to be her big sister...
8/06(You sneaky little... You tricked me... [Gotta like a girl that can do that, though] Oh, shut it, you)

Rika: *giggles happily, before sucking on Akyuu's neck as she becomes more and more aroused*

Merlin: Weeeellllllll... I was going to say this was all temporary. Unless you've done something to make it all permanent, hrm?

Nitori: *still busy playing with Usagi's breasts, while trying to get Cirno to join her*
8/06Cirno: *timidly joins in, and begins to fondel them, too*

Usagi: C-cirno... N-ni...! *shivers hard* Nitori...! *pants raggedly*
8/06Nitori: *grins at Cirno* So, are we going to gang up on her? Or you want to just make her beg?
8/06Cirno: *grins evily and stops*

Usagi: N-no...

Akyuu: *finally has had her full, and licks the traces of blood from her neck* *the bleeding quickly stops* *burps*
8/06Nitori: *runs a hand along Cirno's arm* We can always have some fun, by ourselves... And Usagi would just have to watch...

Rika: *finally completely aroused, presses her lips back to Akyuu's and kisses madly*

(You know, Usagi is a pretty luck gal. Everyone wants her, don't they?)
8/06Usagi: *looks at with eyes as large as dinner plates*

Akyuu: *kisses back, no longer seeming to be afraid of Rika at all*
8/06Rika: *presses her breasts into Akyuu, before pulling back, silently asking her to do her business*

Nitori: *reaches her arms around to pull Cirno towards her*
8/06(Jeez, this is becoming an orgy... And to think, it's not even intentional for this to have happened! Well, for Yukari, anywho. And conciously, myself.)

Cirno: *blushes* W-wait... I-i-if you d-do anything, my body fluids'll freeze your insides...
8/06(You think? XD Not like I planned for this either. Got Merlin who's laughing her * off, Nitori and Rika who are entranced, and Wriggle, still on the sidelines. Granted, I never intended this either, but you know what happens when you change one little thing... How much are you liking it subconsciously, though?)

Wriggle: *wades in between Cirno and Nitori, breaking them up* Calm down, you two. May be gettin' my knickers in a twist, but we've been all having a wee bit too much fun eh?
8/06[Very much!]

Cirno: ...This is actually a semi-normal thing, where I'm from... Well, mostly between Mima and Rumia, but you and Aya do things a bit, too...
8/06Wriggle: Eh, me and Aya? No, that's just not right. *shakes her head* Besides, wot in the world are we doing here? You all never did answer... If you're not to tell me, I'm to be leaving, pronto.

Merlin: *Stage whisper* I think they were going to do experiments on us... Maybe they're planning to dissect us?
8/06(I figured as much. You're insatiable, aren't you?)
8/06Yukari: that's a good question~ Nitori and/or Rika, why ARE they here...?

(Just about.)

Usagi: C-calm down, and relax, Wriggle... *touches her eye*
8/06(Not like it's a bad thing. :P)

Rika: *leans back, disengaging reluctantly from Akyuu* Well... I think we were going to test the effectiveness of kyuuing on various species... But we kinda got distracted.

Wriggle: *freezes as her antennae flatten* W-what did you... *begins to back away, cane being held up*
8/06Yukari: Ehh? THAT's why...? Well, I suppose let's get this out of the way. Hit them all, Usagi, so I can finally clear this place out a bit...

Usagi: O-okay... *lightly smacks every eye in the room, sending each of them stumbling*
8/06Wriggle: *immediately begins to run out the door, taking to the air as she scurries away*

Merlin: N-no! *glares at Usagi* Bad friend! Friends don't touch each other there!
8/06Usagi: A-ahh. Sorry, I wasn't aware, Merlin... *scratches the back of her head*
8/06Merlin: *huffs, and looks away* Always the same, say they be nice, then they do that...
8/06Usagi: Is there anything I could do to make it up to you? I don't want a nice person, such as you, to be mad at me...
8/06Merlin: Don't do it again. Or I will leave. You'll never find me again. *pauses* And tea. That would be nice. The sweeter the better.

Nitori: You know, I think I have something here to brew it with...
8/06Yukari: *grins and pulls out some packets to make red tea*
8/06Nitori: Ah... ah... aha! *pulls out giant pot* Well, here we go! Can get it boiling in here...

(Also, don't have me describing the taste of anything other than black tea. XD I'm a southerner, and all I know is good ol' sweet tea)
8/06(Okay, I had to look it up, but it's bitter at first,with a slight nutty taste. *drinks only black tea with a crap load of sugar*)

Cirno: *summons the water from the air, and fills the pot up*

(New thread time~ Laaaaaaag)
8/06

Nitori: *holds her hand towards the pot, bringing it to a boil*

(You... you drink... really sweet tea. [I-] *slap* down boy!)
8/06(It's better than soda, and less harmful on the teeth~ Plus, it's dirt cheap! Per two litres of tea, I add a cup of sugar~ I hate hot or cold tea, but warm? I'll never tire of it...)

Usagi/Cirno: *distances self from the heat source*

Cirno: *starts to make ice cubes for those that would quite literally die if they drank it hot*
8/07(Roger that... Sounds about right, too. Just under two cups to the gallon here... Only difference I drink mine cold. Especially good if you get it just right, and it is slightly frozen...)

Nitori: *takes the tea leaves and dumps them in, raising the temperature slightly to get it boiling quickly*

Merlin: *perks up at the smell*
8/07(*shudders* I can stand iced tea! XD But a fresh pitcher of tea? Ohh, god... That stuff is orgasmically good...)

Usagi: S-so... umm... D-do you... forgive me, Merlin...? *look at with puppy eyes*
8/07(I can feel ya there... Just sitting and drinking tea all day? May not be a maiden, shrine or not, but damn sounds like a good idea... [Can't help but to wonder...])

Merlin: *looks down at her and slowly nods* I think so... But you still owe me one! Gonna spring a prank on ya, when I get the chance...
8/07[No, I don't orgasm from tea in a literal sense.]

Usagi: *grins* I'm glad! *gives a hug, or tries to, anyways*

*The water in the pot slowly turned red, and was at this point only a faint red*

Usagi: I wonder if this stuff is as good as big sis Remi makes it out to be...
8/07(Eheh, sorry, I was just wondering... I'll keep it under control [Aww, must you?] Yes, apparently.)

Nitori: Well, it should be getting a bit done now... But red tea? What does one add to it?

Merlin: Who knows. Hit me with a cup, though, and I'll check it out.
8/07(Good... [But... I like being perved on...])

*as though always there, empty cup appeared in the hand of each Youkai, while Wriggle popped out of a gap beside them*

Yukari: Tea, Wriggle? *grins, and opens a gap at the bottom of the pot, slowly filling each cup, some of which had heavy ice in them*
8/07Wriggle: *scrambles away from all of them, holding her bowler hat to her chest* I... I... did you do something to these too?

Merlin: *takes the teaming cup and slams it back, before tasting it thoroughly* Hrm. Some milk might not be bad...

(Very well. [Well, in that case, maybe we should go for tea sometime...])
8/07Yukari: We mean you no harm, Wriggy~ The young goddess of pleasure was merely trying to give you her blessing, so as to see what would happen~ Come! Join us for a spot of tea~! *a full cup appears in Wriggles hand*

Rumia: This stuff is kinda nice...

Mima: Very true.

Akyuu: Needs... something.

Yukari: *makes Akyuu's tea 10% blood*

Akyuu: *sniffs and then suddenly takes another sip* S-so good... *tears up in jou*

Cirno: Ehh, it's okay... As an winter fae, pure water based things tend to taste the best...
8/07Wriggle: ...*glances at Merlin, before shaking her head* No, don't think I could be trusting her. *reluctantly takes the tea and sips at it*

Rika: *Eyes Akyuu* Really? Why is that? *skin starts to fade back to a normal skin tone*

Nitori: *adds a dash of some random chemical to it* Now, that should give it a kick. *body starts to change back to normal...*
8/07[I'd love that~]

Akyuu: I don't know, but it tastes like you, Rika! I didn't know kissing necks tasted so... good! *smiles happily* *Wings slightly quiver, and lose strength* *takes another sip* So good...

Yukari: *makes Merlin's tea 10% milk* *Hair and skin stay the same*
8/07Merlin: *slams back another drink, and nods* Danke, many thanks.

Rika: Well, I enjoyed it a lot... too... *blushes* Even if you were doing more than kissing...
8/07Akyuu: Ehh? *Wings droop, and start to deteriorate* *Happily sips tea*

Yukari: You're very welcome~ *smiles*
8/07Rika: Well, you did suck a bit of my blood out... And I think there's some in that tea, too.
8/07Akyuu: E-ehh? *looks at with concern* B-but... you're not bleeding still...?

Yukari: You're a vampire, for now. The wound sealed, as soon as your body decided you had enough, what with the coagulant being released and all.
8/07Rika: Nope! I didn't mind at all. *reaches over to give her a hug, huge breasts still swaying* Mom taught me a lot... So I knew you didn't mean anything bad by doing that. You were just hungry, weren't you?
8/07Akyuu: *left wing falls off, as it's rotted away enough to do so, before it bursts into magic and floats off on the wind* I-I was... *blushes* I felt starved... Sorry... *looks down sadly*

Usagi: That feeling is terrible... When it gets to the point where you can't contain it, and you rip into the nearest prey... The delishiousness filling your mouth, and sliding down your throat, to the point where it makes you head spin in pleasure... *sigh*
8/07Rika: *eyes widen, seeing the wing fall off* It's alright, don't worry... *reaches out to hug her* I think you're going back to the way you were before, though... You've lost a wing...
8/07Akyuu: *eyes widen* I have wings?! *looks back, just in time to see the second one fall* Aww...

Yukari: Don't worry, Akyuu~ I'm sure you'll get wings again some day!

Akyuu: R-really...?

Yukari: Yes, really. ...Though, you'll never lose that new thirst of yours.
8/07Merlin: That'd be your fault, you know. All the enchantments were only temporary... *giggles* Not that I mind...

Rika: And afterwords, we can go fly. It's so fun, to slip these surly bonds... *blinks* Although, why am I thinking of getting you a jetpack...?
8/07Yukari: Ahh, but hunger is not~ Usagi still has a desire for blood, after she tried it, and loved it... The same could be said for Ku- Akyuu.

Usagi: That reminds me, are you still the best mechanic around, Rika? Or did being mostly fae change that? Cause if not, you have talent enough to defeat Yukari with your inventions...

Akyuu: *sips tea* Mmm... Why have I never had tea this good...?
8/07Rika: I... I think so. Am I? I mean, I learned everything from the kappa, but I still have some trouble with 11th dimensional string theory... It's not like I can build a walking tank with my bare hands, either.

Wriggle: I think you were about to tell us something there, Yukari...
8/07Usagi: You built a walking tank with your bare hands, and materials from Yukari...

Yukari: Ahaha, what would I tell you all...?
8/07Wriggle: You stuttered out a different name for the Hieda, which tells me you're hiding something?

Rika: Really? *tilts head* I must have been good... But since I've got magic, I've never really needed to use that stuff as much...
8/07Akyuu: Ehh...? *looks at Yukari*

Yukari: ...Fine... Time is already screwed up enough, I might as well... Kurumi.

Akyuu: Ehh?

Yukari: Your name will be Kurumi, some day...
8/07Wriggle: ...The guardian of the lake of blood? Interesting. But unless you're about to pull crazy hijinks again, we've already got one. And she's a mite bit territorial.
8/07Yukari: Ohh, that doesn't matter~ The worlds will become one, when/if the kappa and her daughter make that machine that can do the exact same thing I can do...
8/07Wriggle: Oh dear, this might be a spot of fun to watch... As long as they don't burn my forest down. ...I just hope that everyone isn't as... crazy, as you are.
8/07Yukari: Ahh, they are all an interesting bunch... Reimu, the donation box youkai; Marisa, the ice fairy; Meiling, the oni; and there's Hina, the curse goddess that accidentally curses herself.

Hina: Eheh, it's more that I take the blunt of misfortune in the worl- *spills tea on self* HOT...!
8/07Wriggle: I can see that you are... gifted. But you do not seem to have any malice in you... Perhaps that's a good thing. I know ours is more apt to kill you than smile at you.
8/07Hina: Ehh? Why...? That's not a very nice thing to do...
8/07Wriggle: She doesn't care about nice things. She likes to kill people... And especially wants to kill Suwako.
8/07Hina: What a jerk...
8/07Wriggle: That she is. Too bad she's too proliferate with her misfortune that no one could take her out without getting the drop on ehr.
8/07Hina: Why not just give her all the misfortune of the world, and give back any she trys to give to others...? That's what I'd do, anyways... *gets hit from a piece of falling debries from the ceiling* I mean, I have all the misfortune of the world, to the point that I can't contain it all...
8/07Wriggle: Well, it's hard to give it back when they're dead. She saves up the misfortune, yes, but only to further her own means. After all, it would be quite unfortunate if a rock dislodged from a mountain and tore your head from your body, yes?
8/07Hina: I'm immortal, like all gods... Why do you think I can survive my misfortunes...?
8/07Wriggle: *takes her monocle off and cleans it with her shirt* Trust me, Miss Kagiyama. Even the gods can die. One simply merely needs to know how.
8/07Wriggle: Sure, if you can destroy misfortune. All of it.
8/07Wriggle: *snorts* That's the easy way to go about it, at least. Still, at least your kindly enough that it doesn't seem to big of a bother for me to go out of the way...

(Assuming you meant Hina there)
8/07(Oopsie~)

Yukari: Well, enough about how to kill gods, as this is a tea party of sorts~
8/07Merlin: But why not? It's fuunnn to talk about killing people! As long as you don't really mean it... Oh, sure, grievously injuring is fine, but actually killing is a beeg no-no.
8/07Usagi: That reminds me of the time I died...
8/07Merlin: Oooohh? *gives her a curious look* Do tell, new friend...
8/07Usagi: Well, it's a bit fuzzy... but, it happened on the first full moon after Marisa turned into a youkai... I was blasted into vaporized water... *sigh*

Cirno: Sorry I didn't make it in time to save you, Usa... *looks down, a bit sad*
8/07Wriggle: Kirisame? As a Youkai? That sounds like the biggest pain imaginable...
8/07Usagi: And a fae, at that... She now does riskier things, and has stopped fearing death!
8/07Wriggle: At least she doesn't do anything to destroy a forest, or kill all of the humans, right?
8/07Usagi: Well, she help Letty, Cirno, and I cause a huuuuuge blizzard. I'm sure a few humans die in that... *shrugs* The forest was fine, though. She DID blow a hole in Youkai mountain twice, though.
8/07Wriggle: *winces at her blase dismissal of the deaths of the humans* Yeah... Make it sound like it wasn't such a big deal. Consider that I do try to look out for the humans, though...
8/07Yukari: The humans of our world are some of the most evil beings around... They rape fairies and lesser youkai for fun, and it's not a 1-on-1 ordeal...
8/07Merlin: Reeally? Then you should use some of the neckies to go and hunt the ones that do wrong down... Neckies are fun.
8/07Yukari: That's that thing - save for Sakuya, and Sanae when she's on her meds, every adult human is evil...
8/07Wriggle: Even I have a hard time believing that... And I'm a youkai that's supposed to eat humans. *shrugs* Your universe, though. Just don't try and pull that stuff over here.
8/07Yukari: *chuckles*
8/07Wriggle: *flatly* What?
8/07Yukari: You remind myself a bit of... when I was young. Always trying to do what's best, and avoiding harming others... It reminds me of when my name was Tatara Kogasa... *sigh* Going back to 17000 B.C. changed me a bit, though. I intended to use that time to grow stronger with gaps, and to prevent my lovely mate from dieing... *sighs once more* And then... part way through, I realised that I was actually the one who taught me, and still failed to save my Sanae... In the time of being in the distant past, I learned to eat human flesh when times were tough, to the point that I eventually started loving the flavor.
8/07Wriggle: *eyes widen* You were Kogasa at one point? Now that is an interesting thing to know... Our Kogasa doesn't appear very much. Just floats around on the breeze. I think she likes to get involved with the incidents, but only to surprise people... Still... *eyes become hollow* I once did such things, back when I was a monster. I'd rather 'not' go back to when that happened...
8/07*eggplant umbrella falls from a gap, and into her hand, while her hair and right eye turns torquoise, and her left turns red. All else stays the same* Urameshiya~ *winks and sticks out her tongue*
8/07Wriggle: *tilts her head* Not quite surprised... And it doesn't look quite as well with that hair. You don't look quite as cute as Kogasa does, properly. But I guess after twenty millenia...
8/07Yukari: *eyes darken* "I'm" Only 17, you know~
8/07Wriggle: *grins widely, and tips her hat* Apologies there, young maiden. Twould be horrid of me to suggest otherwise. Perhaps I might be offering an apology to you?
8/07*pouts* It's rude to call people old, you know... *tears up slightly, and looks away*
8/07Wriggle: *sighs and kneels on her knee* Maiden, would it be acceptable for me to accompany you to one of the locals south of this mountain? I might find something there which I hope would suffice as a proper apology.
8/07Yukari: So cute...! *takes the cute little bug into her arms and starts to hug her tightly* Ohhhh, I forgive yoooou...!
8/07Wriggle: *bowler hat gets knocked off as the breath is squeezed out of her* Ack! I... you're... welcome?
8/07Yukari: *lets go* Eheh~ *smiles*
8/07Wriggle: *shakily reaches down for her hat, before smoothing out her clothes* You've had your fun, now?
8/07Yukari: Yup~!

Akyuu: *notices her cup has been re-filled, without her noticing* A-ahh, thank you, Yukari. *sips* Mmm... *has the same metallic tang to it as before*
8/07Rika: *rubs at her shoulder* Why do I feel like I just had a shot taken...?

Wriggle: *sighs* I should go warn everyone... Already here at the mountain, so I can start with the Tengu and Kochiya.
8/07Yukari: *giggles at Rika's question* Why, indeed? Well, good luck, Wriggle~ If you find yourself in a spot of trouble, don't hesitate to say my name three times, while moaning~
8/07Wriggle: ...Yeah. I'll remember that. Well, everyone else, cheerio! Don't eat anybody!

Merlin: Aww, cheer up some, Wriggle, Or I'll have to put on a show!
8/07Cirno: *kisses Usagi's cheek* I love you, Usa...

Usagi: *blushes* I-I love you to, Cirno!
8/07Nitori: *glares at them jealously, before sighing and stepping up towards them* I know you don't love me like you love her, but... family, right? *hopeful look in her eyes*
8/07(Aww, Rika's so cute thus far~)

Usagi: *pulls her down into an embrace* I still love you all that same...

Cirno: *hugs the two of them* I have to wonder why you haven't frozen solid!
8/07Nitori: *hugs back, big grin on her face* I have no idea... but I'm not complaining. A family... *nuzzles both of them as they stand there*
8/07Usagi: And maybe... maybe some day we could make it even bigger... *smiles*
8/07Nitori: *looks up at her, smile threatening to split her face* How... How big?
8/07Usagi: *blushes* M-maybe two or three more...?
8/07Nitori: *sighs happily, and pats her own stomach* And I could have a few too... *glances at Cirno* You want some too, or are you just going to be the crazy aunt that spoils them all?
8/07Cirno: I-I... I, umm... I'd like one, maybe... *blushes*
8/07Nitori: Good... *squeezes her closer* But, I think Usagi is going to be in charge of feeding them, with those knockers. Right?
8/07(Ohh, crap, did I not shrink them?)

Usagi: *As if afraid to be noticed, they shrank down to a far, far, far smaller size. A cup size larger than before, but still* Err...

Cirno: ...We're gonna have the best family ever, huh...?
8/07(Nope! XD I was waiting to see...)

Rika: *yelps as her own also deflate, unsure if whether to be disappointed or relieved*

Nitori: *laughs, before squeezing them close* The bestest.
8/07Usagi: Hmm... Hey, Rika... do you have any sisters?
8/07Rika: *thinks on it for a second, before blinking* Yeah! I do! We all get up with so much fun... But they are all really good at kyuuing things. Except for me... *turns eye down* Some of them are nearly as good as auntie flandre, though!
8/07Usagi: *blinks* They... can gather eyes? Best I've seen flan do was make 100 fae explode at once...
8/07Rika: *shakes her head* Not that far... But they can make any size object explode, and they are working on getting multiple at a time... Well, then there is little Yitori...
8/07(I have horrible baby naming skills)
8/07(And mine amount to being "Jade" and things like that...)

Usagi: *pouts* Explode...? Why don't I have the same power as big sis, and yet my children do...? And what of Yitori?
8/07(Well, that's not too bad... But only if they have green eyes)

Rika: Because you are just passing it on. But Yitori... She has a power like yours, but she can do the multiple targets very well.
8/07Usagi: *giggles* She'd make a good goddess... Hey, how's my Kyuuing, in the future?
8/07Rika: You've established complete dominance over your realm's humans... Not to mention a large portion of the wild populace. Your the goddess with the highest number of worshippers... And as part of your blessings, every day you kyuu them.
8/07Usagi: Ohh, my... A-and did I ever listen to Aki on how goddesses are supposed to act, and start "acting the part"? And this is, what, 50 years down the line?
8/07Rika: Indeed. But, you listened to Aki... The other Aki. Minoriko's loosened up some... Although, she still gets angry if you use your powers on her. *looks at her oddly* And why fifty years? This is only fifteen...
8/07Usagi: *jaw drops* You're fourteen?!

Cirno: *eyes widen*
8/07Rika: Yup! And I'm the eldest. Little Yitori is barely three years old... Such a little girl... Cute, too. How she got the power, I don't know, since she was Nitori's and Cirno's...
8/07Cirno: *blushes bright red and looks at Nirori*

(I saw that one coming! XD)
8/07Nitori: *sees her eyes, and also turns red, looking away* How is that? Wouldn't she f-freeze me?

Rika: Mama, you should know by now, that there is a scientific answer to everything. *grins* Trust me, you'll like her. But what's so odd with my age?
8/07Usagi: Well... you look older than 14... I mean, you're taller than me! A-and you, umm... y-you have such... skills...
8/07Rika: *grins at her* I am the first-born of a goddess of pleasure. What more do you expect, Mom?
8/07Usagi: I-I really become a goddess...?

Yukari: Even just 1 follower that truely gives their faith to you makes one a goddess~ You already have atleast 15...
8/07Rika: But you have hundreds in the future. The only place you haven't gotten to on the surface is the youkai mountain proper... And that's more out of the resistance of one tengu than anyone else. Oh, and mom? *winks at her* The figure is hereditary, if you must know. And I've got plenty of growing to do.
8/07Usagi: *blushes*
8/07Rika: *giggles slightly, and shakes her head* You know it's all your fault we turned out this way, mom.
8/07Usagi: *blushes brighter and holds a hand over her belly in joy of being a mother in under a year*
8/07Rika: *walks up to her, before kneeling down in front of her, placing a hand on her stomach* Amazing isn't it. To think that this is me...
8/07Usagi: *tears up with joy* Yeah...

Cirno: *chuckles* You're really happy, huh...? *smiles*
8/08Nitori: Good. Because I am too. *hugs them both again, putting her hand on Usagi's stomach* So happy... a family...
8/08Usagi: *smiles*

Akyuu: I feel awkward being here, now... *looks away from the scene of love*

Hina: Sa- *falls through the floor* ...Oww...
8/08Merlin: There there now! This calls for happiness! *summons a trumpet out of midair* So stop being so bashful, or I'll make ya stop being bashful!
8/08Cirno: *grins*

Usagi: *blushes*

Hina: *groans*

Mima: *moans*

Rumia: *licks*

Akyuu: ...What ARE those two doing, anyways...?
8/08Rika: *smirks*

Nitori: *shakes head*

Merlin: *whispers* They are either becoming one ultimate being, or copulating...
8/08AKyuu: Ehh?
8/08Merlin: *laughs* They're doing the horizontal tango.
8/08Hina: *whispers in Akyuu's ear*

Akyuu: *blushes bright red*
8/08Merlin: *pouts at Hina* Aww, that takes all the fun out of it!
8/08Akyuu: B-but, they're both... girls...
8/08Rika: I'd point out that the ratio of males to females in Gensokyo is rather absurd. So, either the majority stay as maids, they resort to polygamy, or they find another way to have children. Such is how I was born.
8/08Akyuu: ...Ehh...? But there's so many men in the village...?
8/08Rika: And how often are they killed off?
8/08Rumia: *wipes mouth* Only the ones stupid enough to try and challenge me to a spell card battle! They figure I'll be an easy win, and such~ *giggles*
8/08(I just realized I don't have a straight man! err... Touhou. Gosh darn it!)

Rika: Well, it's not like most of them aren't stupid... Who assaults youkai and thinks they'll get away with it?
8/08Yukari: ...About 90% of adult men, in the human village back home...?

Akyuu: *looks horrified*

Yukari: And it's rare at best they are stupid enough to do so in groups of less than 5...
8/08Rika: To be honest, Akyuu, who runs the humans in your area? Or are you sheltered enough to not even know what's going on?
8/08Akyuu: The village ender... None of them trust my judgment, as I'm only ten... Even if I'm older than him, technically... Only Keine trusts me, as I'm as old as her... It helps that we are sisters, even if I took on a new family name...
8/08Rika: Hrm, interesting. Not quite what I asked, though. Such things happening are quite noticeable, especially if it's nearly half of the village doing such... activities.
8/08Akyuu: I-I knew that most humans are rather... bad... but it's mostly behind closed doors!

Yukari: *Chuckles*
8/08Rika: *sigh* Yukari, mind if I have her meet this world's Akyuu? She might have plenty to be teaching her...
8/08Yukari: *shrug* Go ahead, I suppose.
8/08Rika: Alright! *grabs Akyuu's hand and takes off running*
8/08Akyuu: W-where are you taking me? *teeth chatter* Why are you s-so cold?
8/08Rika: I'm gonna go and see Akyuu, and you're coming with me! *grins* And because I'm part ice fairy, that's why!
8/08Usagi: Be home before dark, sweetie!
8/08Rika: I'll do that! Bye mom!
8/08Akyuu: Wait, I'm Akyuu... I can see myself just fine, if a mirror is involved...
8/08Rika: *shakes her head ruefully* Not you, silly! This world's Akyuu! Didn't you listen to what we were saying?
8/08Akyuu: *looks away* I'm a bit confused, honestly...
8/08Rika: To put it shortly, There are two Gensokyos. And there are copies of virtually everyone, one from each realm. Yukari plucked a few from both of them, so that I could do some tests. However, you need some backbone, so I'm taking you to the most hardcore person in this land.
8/08Akyuu: Well, you try being breast fed, spoon fed, and in a diaper for about 10-20 years total...
8/08Rika: *grins* That's more like it! Be catty! Be assertive! don't take it lying down! Sheesh, Akyuu, you're the memory of the humans of Gensokyo. So, if you aren't allowed to see anything, how are you able to keep the most accurate representation of the world?
8/08Well, I've also the strength, and voice, of a ten year old... I mean, it's half the reason I was fearing you youkai as much as I did... I've spent 120 years seeing just what both youkai and humans are capable of... And I'm a "tasty little girl" as Rumia put it, once... *shudders* Though, that short time I spent as a youkai... I... I kind of enjoyed that... *blushes*
8/08Rika: *pats her on the shoulder* Well, you turned into a vampire, and you had a source of blood right there. In me. *tips of her ears blush* Not that I mind... Too bad you're not a kappa, though. You'd probably love that. And this Akyuu isn't much older... *starts to come up to the town gates* Oh, right, probably shouldn't walk in with these...
8/08With what?
8/08Rika: *points at her wings* Those. They don't trust youkai, here. Two many kids have been kidnapped, and killed. Only a scant few are allowed in. *wings shimmer out of sight as her hair fades to a dull brown* This will do, though.
8/08Akyuu: And in my world, the reverse is true... It's very rare that anyone but an outsider get eaten...
8/08Rika: It's a wonder. From the sound of it, there is very little that could stop them if the youkai banded together.
8/08Yukari is what's stopping them... She has a treaty to keep, and any who break it without having a good reason are cast out into the outside world...
8/08Rika: *walks down the main street, waving idly at some people shopping for bread* Well, they might want to know that she's ready to wipe them out.
8/08Akyuu: Why? I for one think that we humans could use a cleaning out... I mean, she'd re-make the village once we are all dead. All I'd have to do is wait to be reborn...
8/08Rika: *eyes widened and claps her hand over her mouth* Careful... Don't speak so loudly. And you might, but what of those who hadn't done anything wrong?
8/08Akyuu: *shrugs* Maybe she'd gap them to safety... I mean, she's not entirely without a heart...
8/08Rika: Hopefully... Best not to pass the sins of the fathers onto the sons. *stops in front of the door* Ah. We're here.
8/08S-so, is this me really that scary...?
8/08Akyuu: *slams door open, resplendent in her yukata* What is it that you... *eyes fall upon her twin, hardening* Ah, I see. Come.
8/08Akyuu: Eep! *hides behind Rika*
8/08Akyuu: *sighs and reaches out towards the girl, grasping her shoulder* I have no desire to tarry. Now, come, before we are seen.
8/08Akyuu: O-okay... *timidly follows*
8/08Rika: *follows, grin on her face*

Akyuu: *leads her through the hallways, deep into the complex of buildings*
8/08Akyuu: Such a nice place... *looks about in awe*
8/08Akyuu: Hrmm... *pushes open a panel in the hallway, leading to a secret room. Waiting for the two to enter, she shuts it, barring the door* Now, tell me, who are you?
8/08I-I'm Hiede no Akyuu. ...Not from this world, though...
8/08Akyuu: As I suspected. One would hardly be able to tell from your demeanor, but it is obvious whom you are. *tilts her head* Do you have the birthmark on your spine?
8/08Akyuu: Ehh...? I don't really know... *lifts the back of her top, and tries to look*
8/08Rika: *glances over her back, shaking her head* Nope. Nothing there.

Akyuu: Interesting. A lack of the mark of the child of Maire... Perhaps you have different rules. Still, you have the right magic about. Enough. Why did you seek me out.

Rika: *waves your Akyuu onwards to speak*
8/08Akyuu: W-well... Miss Rika said that you could teach me to have a spine...? I'm, umm... I'm a bit of a coward...
8/08Akyuu: *circles around her* Then I might have my work cut out for me. But tell me, girl, why should I bother?
8/08Akyuu: I guess because it may help me get the human village to finally listen to me...? *trembles a bit*
8/08Akyuu: So? They can listen, but they still won't care. You're just a little slip of a girl, anyways. It would be a waste for me to bother...

(Need I say this is a test?)
8/08Akyuu: B-but the things they do are w-wrong! I-I have to get them to stop... I didn't even know they were quite as bad as they are, untill Yukari informed me...
8/08Akyuu: Ah, so that is it... The little girl was blind, until she was shown how to pull back the curtains and look outside... But I still haven't heard any reason to help you. Besides, even if you told them to stop, would they listen to a little girl?
8/08Akyuu: *growls in irritation, her fangs glinting in the light slightly* I'd make them listen to me! And if they didn't, I'd just have to throw them to Rumia! Set an example, and make one out of them! I don't want rapists filling the village!
8/08Akyuu: Heh... interesting. You've a bit of the curse in you... Strange magic, that is. But really, you're going about it all wrong. You shouldn't be trying to make them afraid of the youkai...
8/08Akyuu: But the youkai only get anybody every few months... If they feared them more, maybe they'd stop raping the poor things...
8/08Akyuu: But that will make them fear the youkai. Do you want them to be only afraid of them? After all, they'll still go out of the way to find the weak ones. They'll just be more quiet about it. *glares at her* If only there was someone strong enough to handle the matter internally.
8/08(I feel bad. I just started a new save on Animal Crossing, and I named my dog Sakuya... (Also automatically used Begi as the name for me. XD))
8/08Akyuu: But I'm down to dieing at about age twelve... I'll always stay as weak as a child, and they'll continue to treat me like on... I don't get how to get them to stop... It's not like I'm strong, like my sister Keine... ...Even if she does accidentally cave in skulls from time to time...
8/08Akyuu: Well, I'm sorry to say that if you don't believe that you can do anything, then you won't. Simple as that.
8/08Akyuu: *looks at her feet and grits her teeth* I'll... I'll try to make them listen... Even if it just gets me killed, I'll try... I want to make some lasting change, before I die for good... *Balls her fists, and her eyes flare ever so gently with a yellow light, while looking at Akyuu* I'll do whatever it takes to keep the peace between humans and youkai! *determined look*

(HAH, Begi~)
8/09Akyuu: Hrm... *smirk comes over her face* Good. Maybe you can learn... So, before I begin, let me ask one thing. Do you still have the ability of our line?
8/09Akyuu: I forget nothing.
8/09(Yup, you've corrupted me)

Akyuu: Good, then study hard. The test is coming up real soon. *leaps into the air, spinning once before extending a foot to kick Akyuu*

Rika: *begins to perk up*
8/09*Flys through the air, and rolls across the ground, before coming to a hard stop at the wall* O-oww... *slowly starts to get back up*
8/09Akyuu: *raises her hand and slowly circles around* Make the attempt to dodge, now. Don't just stand there and take it! *leaps forward again, this time going for a low kick*
8/09Akyuu: *jumps up, dodging the hit just barely*
8/09Akyuu: *immediately handstands, springing into the wall, and leaping straight from the wall and into the back of Akyuu*

Rika: *cheering* Go Akyuu!
8/09Akyuu: OOF...! *takes the hit, but tries to dampen the blow by jumping forwards and rolling*
8/09Akyuu: *rolls along with her, before landing on top of her and straddling her, hand on her throat* ...You Lose. Not too bad for a little girl.
8/09Akyuu: *eyes flare yellow, and throws Akyuu off of her* I'm... not... down, yet... *pants*
8/09Akyuu: *flips in midair, before dashing to her side and placing a haymaker into her kidney*
8/09Akyuu: *doesn't have time to react, and gets taken down quite well this time*
8/09Akyuu: Always be prepared, always be moving. Never give them a chance. *blinks for a second, and turns to Rika* Fairy, is it going to be raining soon?

Rika: *glances upward for a second before nodding* Yeah, pretty soon.

Akyuu. Good. A bit more practice here, then we go outside. *leaps away once more into the shoadows*
8/09Akyuu: *hops to her feet, holding her side* Ugh... *hops away, so as to make some distance*

(Heh, you like the whole weather prediction that Pixie did, huh?)
8/09Akyuu: *drops down from the ceiling right in front of her* *monotone* Boo.

(Hey, if it works... It works, eh? And since I'm playing by your rules now...)
8/09(Well, I can't help it! XD Also, what rules...?)

Akyuu: *kicks off of Akyuu's chest, and tries to distance herself a bit*
8/09Akyuu: *slips away into the shadows again, unseen*

(Well, Rika now is one ofy our fae, not one of mine. So, she'll have the same powers yours have, esp since Cirno and Usagi are both yours.)
8/09(And yet Usagi is one of your fae... She only has blood of your fae in her, so she should still be the kind that yours are... Plus, didn't she use a glamour?)

Akyuu: Grr... *Keeps moving, seemingly bouncing in random directions so as to prevent easy prediction*
8/09(Well, I'm going off the idea that since Usagi is your char, she'd keep most of her abilities from your side of the divide. And all Rika did was the same thing Usagi pulled off earlier Maybe I'm a bit inconsistent, though... I'm tired. XD)

Akyuu: Not bad... *leaps out from her blind side when she takes an inevitable turn* But too predictable!
8/09Akyuu: Ghh...! *as she was in the corner, forcing her to turn, tries to bounce off the wall, and leap over Akyuu*
8/09Akyuu: *yanks her out of the air* Never leave the ground unless you are sure you have plan to counter any response.
8/09(Bed for me though, I'm completely crapped out*
8/09Akyuu: *tries stomping on her shoulders, to continue the jump*

(My fae have no glamour~ Her natural abilities stay, but those of the one she's mimicking are as they should be, unless I've made a mistake?)
8/09(Nite!)
8/09(Good morning)
8/09(Morning~)
8/09Akyuu: *grins and pulls her down, body slamming her into the ground* Not bad... Not bad at all.

(Well, put it this way. Rika is not a mimic, so I imagine that she takes abilities from both Faes in our worlds. However, it was incorrect for me to assume that Akyuu wouldk now to ask her this)
8/09(And yet she has the mimicked ability of kyuuing, even if its just lingering from being a vampire. I'd say there's atleast a teeny bit of mimic in there, or at the very least, a wee bit of vampire.)

Akyuu: ...Oww. Thank... you....?
8/09(Well, she 'did' react very positively to Kurumi...)

Akyuu: You're reacting, which is much better than I expected at this point. *looks out the window, at the dragon statue* Hrm. Rain soon. Come with me. *turns and leaves the room again.

Rika: *waits for other Akyuu to catch her breath*
8/09Akyuu: Ugh... *slowly gets to her feet and dusts herself off and follows, even if she's still panting* *limps slightly for about ten seconds*
8/09Rika: *shakes her head and throws Akyuu's arm around her shoulder, helping her along* Bit rough, isn't she?
8/09Akyuu: ...A bit...? I thought my heart was going to leap out, when she said "boo"
8/09Rika: Well, you can't say that she's not effective. Besides, do you think you know how to do this now?
8/09Akyuu: My power works less effectively when I'm spooked, and I literally need to see things... When she was in the shadows, I couldn't see, but beyond that, I can probably immitate the things she was doing based on the sight of them...
8/09Akyuu: *appears behind them* Then you need to know unlearn what you have learned, and discover how to see anew. *pushes them towards the stairs, before stopping in front of the door to the roof*
8/09Akyuu: Where are we...? We've gone up, so it can't be the front door... The roof, or a balcony, maybe?
8/09Akyuu: *steps outside, standing under the awning* The roof. Quite out of the way of the other humans, and most youkai don't come this far into the middle of town. So, perfect for some privacy. *as she speaks, the rain begins to start pouring down*
8/09Akyuu: It's a very nice roof... Nicer than that of the abandoned house I make use of.
8/09Akyuu: *glances at her, and shakes her head* What has become of the Hiedo family... *waits for the rain to come down harder, before nodding to herself* This is to be your next test.
8/09Akyuu: *tilts head* What?
8/09Akyuu: *leaps forward, dashing and spinning through the downpour, before flipping over and reaching the awning on the other side. Perfectly dry* Do what I just did... And don't get wet.
8/09Akyuu: *looks horrified* But... but... *sigh* *tries, and falls to her knees the moment the water touches her* Ugh... *feels horrible weak*

(Okay, now THAT's impossible! XD)
8/09(This is Gensokyo! Doing the impossible is the name of the game! Besides, she was meant to fail.)

Akyuu: Hrm... I did not expect you to succeed. At least you had the gumption to try. But still, you are too weak.
8/09*Looks at with eyes flareing yellow, before the last of her strength leaves her* Ugh... So tired...
8/09Akyuu: *moves over towards her, before gently bracing her against herself as the rain soaks the two* I can tell. Come. We shall get you rest... And then we can start anew.
8/09(She's weakened by the water, by the way)

*once out of the water, starts to feel better* I'm... not tired anymore...? Odd...
8/09(Still a trace of vampirism, then? All the more important for her to learn to dodge it!)

Akyuu: Hrmph. Not quite completely human, are you now? So sure that you're going to die? Still, it matters not. You are to rest now if you expect me to help you.
8/09(Hehe, yeah. ...Great, now Kurumi's going to have to dodge rain at some point, once she's made...)

Akyuu: Ehh? Why do you say that I'm not completely human...?
8/09Akyuu: Well, it is either that, or you're the largest liar imaginable. Just being hit by running water makes your tired, yes?
8/09Akyuu: I did lose all strength, just about... Wait, some poltergeist turned me into a vampire for about ten minutes...
8/09Akyuu: *shakes her head* A poltergeist is incapable of a permanent transformation. So, you should not still be reacting like this, as you would have simply become human once she had let the transformation fall.
8/09Yukari was there, too...
8/09Akyuu: Which would explain it all. Still, everything remains the same. I will just need to examine you as soon as we reach the guest room. *slides open a nearby door, revealing a few mats place on the floor surrounding a kotatsu*
8/09...With every room I see, and can't help but wonder if my home is as big as them...
8/09Akyuu: The Hieda are one of the oldest and wealthiest families in this town. It is... unusually odd that a copy of mine would be the exact opposite.
8/09Ahh, that reminds me... Who is Kurumi? Youkari nearly called me by that name, and the Wriggle of this world called her out on it...
8/09Akyuu: Kurumi, hrm...? She is the guardian of the lake of blood, one of the vampires who has lived here the longest. Amusingly enough, though, she is one of the youngest.

*faint steps begin to walk down the hallway*
8/09Akyuu: Lake of Blood...? I've never heard of such a place... ...Why haven't I heard of such a place...?
8/09Akyuu: Because neither you nor your predecessors sought out the knowledge. It is a grand lake in the mountains behind the Hakurei shrine... and in the middle is an island where rests the old home of the flower youkai. *footsteps get louder, and she freezes*
8/09Akyuu: Flower youkai...? I don't think we have one of those... We have that one fae that tends to a sunflower field, though... Also, I had no idea there was anything of any import behind that shrine...
8/09Akyuu: Kazami, if you must know. And it looks as if we must broaden your horizons... *footsteps come closer and closer* But enough. Fae, hairbrush, now.

Rika: *startles, having just been listening to the two* Eh, why do you...

Akyuu: bother... *grabs a hairbrush from a nearby dresser and circles around behind Akyuu* Kneel, and follow what I do.
8/09Akyuu: Ehh? One moment, you're talking about rest, and now you want me to learn how to better brush my hair...?
8/09Akyuu: Quiet. Now bow your head, and do not show your face. *undoes her hair, and begins to brush it out.

*as she does, the door slides open and a tall woman steps through* Akyuu where have you- Who is this?

Akyuu: *softly, eyes looking down* Travelers, mother. They were caught up in the storm, and needed shelter. I could hardly turn them away.
8/09*bows her head, just as told, and is sure to not show her face*
8/09Mother: Need I ask 'why' you brought strangers into our house, Akyuu? Such a thing is unbecoming... Especially to lower yourself so much as to touch a commoner's hair.

Akyuu: *keeps pulling all the tangles out, making sure that the hair falls in her dimensional twin's face* She may not be nobility, but she is hardly a commoner. Her attendant over there was to protect her from the elements, but failed. As she has done so poorly in her duty, I took it upon myself to care for her.

Mother: *eyes glance over at Rika, who bristles at the insult* Very well. But we're not through with this conversation.

Akyuu: *bows her head, hiding her own face* Yes, mother.
8/09*continues to stay silent*
8/09Mother: Do not take long. And if she is a visitor, I expect to be seeing her at dinnertime. I will have the maids set out an extra plate... *looks at Rika* And maybe a dish for the dog. *spins on her foot and leaves, closing the door behind her*

Akyuu: *says nothing, but keeps brushing Akyuu's hair
8/09*Waits to be spoken to*
8/09Akyuu: *still quietly, but also with that edge in her voice* You can speak now. They are gone. *tugs at the hair, pulling a particularly offensive knot out*
8/09Akyuu: *tears up slightly* ...I envy you... I'm abandoned by my parents every generation... my sister, Keine, raises we every time, and then sets me on my way when I'm about 6, as I'm able to take care of myself at that point... I'm considered a bad omen, you know... People fear that a shortened life-span is contagious... The moment they see the purple hairs, my fate is decided... *sigh*
8/09Akyuu: ..Perhaps I am the more fortunate one. Raised by a family of nobles, one learns th worth of their life... Makes me wonder... *strokes her hair for a moment, before patting her shoulder gently* Stand up... please.
8/09*stands*
8/09Akyuu: Hrm... Now tell me... Who are you?
8/09Hiede no Akyuu.
8/09Akyuu: *pokes her finger in Akyuu's chest* Who 'are' you.
8/09I'm not sure if I understand the question...
8/09Akyuu: Are you just a little girl? Or are you Hiede no Akyuu, the Ninth Child of Maire, the living memory of Gensokyo? Are you prepared to become a woman, or stay hidden in a room? Tell me, who are YOU?
8/09Akyuu: I- I AM a woman, even if this body doesn't match! *a look of determined confidence in her eyes*
8/09Akyuu: Now are you? Can you live up to your duty, no matter who you may face? No matter whatever opposition that you come up against? Can you, a weak little girl, stand up to gods and demons, and defy them? Can you record the history of your land? Can you shape it? Or will you let it shape you?
8/09Akyuu: I will, for as long as I'm able to! ...Well, if I die, that is... If I stop dieing, than all issues are moot, and I'll do my best to keep the peace, one way or another!
8/09Akyuu: It is our fate to die, little girl. One way or another, we will. Even if you do become a youkai, you will die much before your time. Do not fear it though... And embrace it. We are immortal *Grasps her hands* We are this land. We defend it in the darkness, from which those in the light can not.
8/09Akyuu: I still wish I had a choice in the matter... *sighs* Keine at least had a choice with what she became... I simply... became, back when I was but an ordinary little girl... What of you...? Was yours a choice?
8/09Akyuu: I always knew what I was to be. Even as a babe, I knew I was not the same as the others. I had the memories, if not the brainpower to interpret them. But I always knew more. But you're wrong, Akyuu. You always have a choice. You can either stand, or you can fold. You know this as well as I. I will not force you to live to your potential, unless it is your choice for me to do so.
8/09Me, I found out after I died in a fire that claimed mine and Keine's parents lives... I found myself being born... that was very odd, huh? I mean it took me another death to figure out that I was reincarnating, and then took to researching what was going on. In however many lives I have left, I'd like nothing more than to cause a positive change in the village... No matter what happens to me, I want to - I NEED to get the village to listen.
8/09Akyuu: Not your choice, hrm? That is... interesting. There is much for you to learn about your power, as your misfortune has prevented yourself from truly understanding. But first... *walks over to the dresser ones more, and pulls out a flower. Picking it up, she walks back over to Akyuu and puts in her hair* IF you are to be Hiede, you must act it. You must dress it. And you must be it. I will not expect anything less from my kin.
8/09Akyuu: Ahh! I must have had the flower that the Daiyousei gave me out when Yukari abducted me... Thank you *smiles*
8/09Akyuu: *nods at her, giving a small smile* You're welcome. But first, I will ask you, shall we see the records, or do you want to go and wait on my parents to join us for dinner?

Rika: Don't I get a say in this?

Akyuu: *shoots her a look* No, you do not, retainer.
8/09Akyuu: *smiles* The records should be fine, if they won't be there yet.
8/09Akyuu: They won't. But others may be there. Enough, though. To the records... *sighs, and settles herself into a ladylike pose, hands at her front* Follow me. *leads them out of the guest bedroom and down the stairs to the front of the complex. Taking a right, they enter into a large room, with rows of unbound books, dozens of scrolls, and ream upon ream of unkept paper stacked high to the ceiling*
8/09*stares in awe at all the records* Wow...
8/09Akyuu: This is a partial record of all that I remember, plus what I have learned since I was born. It is this I wish for you to study. To learn what you should have generations ago.
8/09...Which should I start with...?
8/09Akyuu: Remember when I said you have a choice?
8/09So I should just... pick one?

(Are they labled for conveniance?)
8/09(Some of them. Not all of them, however. Just be general, and think that bound stuff is older, and loose leaf is newer)

Akyuu: Exactly. While you are busy with that, I will go fetch some tea. *turns and exits the room*

Rika: *narrows her eyes* Well, that was lovely...
8/09Akyuu: It was your idea to come here... *grabs the book on Kurumi, if it's there*
8/09Rika: Well, my memory about her was... fuzzy. *rubs her head* Besides, she wasn't exactly kind to me.

*not readily available, but there is one about Elis right there*
8/09(That one won't really assist in what information she's looking for XD)

*looks for Rika, Cirno, Nitori, Yukari, Rumia, Mima, Hina, and Usagi*
8/09(Well, Elis is a vampire... )

*in her search, she finds articles about all of them save Rika and Usagi. Also, a book dislodges itself from the far corner, with an elaborate S on the side*
8/09(I'm not even sure who that is! XD I only know of 3 vampires in touhou...)

*grabs the S one, and checks what it may be on*
8/09(She's from HRtP. XD Like Kikuri. She's the fourth one. Also, she's a magician)

*opens a book about the Scarlet Devil mansion*
8/09*begins to read it*
8/09(Ahem, sorry. Was busy working. Narration time)

The Residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion are a rather eclectic crew, and rather unscrupulous about the use of their power. The household is comprised of two vampires, one maid of unknown origin (Possibly Human, see section: Sakuya, for further discussion), one youkai that inhabits the library, and one youkai that serves as the gate guard. On top of this, there are numerous fairy maids that inhabit it, to serve at the whim of the master of the mansion, along with a devil that serves as a librarian.

The Scarlet Devil Mansion, named after the lady of the mansion (Remilia Scarlet) is also home to an unknown number of creatures and monsters that roam the halls, with an even larger number of humans kept in various conditions. A majority of these are from the outside; however, there are known to be a few residents of the village kidnapped to serve, either as butlers, handymen, busybodies, or bloodbags.

*the book keeps on going about the various features of the mansion. It constantly refers the reader to later sections if information on one particular subject is desired.
8/09*Read that in about ten seconds and flips to the Remilia Scarlet section*
8/09Remilia Scarlet

Mistress of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, The Three Fates Distilled into One, and the Controller of Destiny

Scarlet, the owner of the mansion which bares her name, is an extremely powerful vampiric youkai. Of the European lineages, she avoids most of the weaknesses that Eastern Vampires would have, although she is more vulnerable to the scant few she does possess. Due to her age and power, though, only the strongest of storms and the brightest of days even faze her.

What is more apparent is the power that the vampire controls. Besides the typical vampiric powers, such as extra speed, strength, and endurance, she has a rather nebulous power over fate itself. Through her acts of charisma, she is able to guide the strings which tug on all, manipulating them to serve her.

*read more, or turn to another page/section?*
8/09(About how many pages is the book, and how long untill she returns?)
8/09(Well, I was gonna wait until she found something of import. Or what exactly is she looking for?)
8/09(...Kurumi, and that was about the only thing... XD; She's just going on the names of those she's met, and been around today. She intends to read the whole book... which is why I'm asking how far she'll get with her extreme speed of reading... She read that entire first and second section in 20 seconds. I'm not about to make you write in excess! XD)
8/09(XD true, true. There was going to be something in Flandre's section about Kurumi, at least comparing the two)
8/09*Begins to read from start to finish, going a a rate of a page per 20 seconds, untill she notices something of value in the Flandre section*
8/09...While being a sister of the elder vampire, the limited interaction one has had with her along with the reports coming out of the mansion suggest that she is similar to Kurumi, the vampire which guards the lake of blood and calls it home. Said vampire, being much younger than the other three in the land, is driven by emotions more than logical thought. Her instincts control her, as she has not had a large amount of time in the company of more human-like youkai.

It would almost be apt to call that vampire hedonistic, as her abilities give her an aura of extreme grace, which allows her to seduce any passerby. Not to mention that her charisma, while lower than the two in the mansion, is high enough that she appears as an extremely beautiful woman that wants another.

On the subject, it is also of note to say that the vampire Kurumi desires to find another like herself. If said actions ever do occur, such as if she meets the older vampire Flandre, would likely result in disaster. With two hedonistic vampires that love to drink from the blood of the living, there would be many that would suffer from their hunt.

All of this, of course, is assuming that what is said about the vampire's sister is true...
8/09*Continues reading the rest of the book, in hopes of finding more on Kurumi*

Hedonistic, huh...
8/09Akyuu: I hope you are not getting any strange ideas. *sets the teacup down beside her, her own in her hand. Rika is grumbling over her glass of water*
8/09Akyuu: Ahh, no! I was just seeing what the people I've met today are like... But then, this book with a big S popped out a bit, and I read it instead...
8/09Akyuu: And yet, the one thing you are interested in is that vampire. *places her hand on the page, tracing where she had just read*
8/09*blushes* Well, I can't help this curiosity... Yukari said I'd be becoming a vampire within a year by way of the third scarlet sister... And, I'll have you know that I didn't intentionally find that bit... ...Even if I would have read a book on her first, if there was one... *Sips the tea that was placed beside her* Mmm... *sighs happily*
8/09Akyuu *gives a slight smirk* There is. But it's only partially finished, and unbound. You would have had to look through your own papers. *shrugs* Besides, you would not truly be the vampire. Unless you plan on letting yourself fall pray to such desires?
8/09Akyuu: *shakes head* I don't want to be driven by instinct! ...Even if Rika's blood is really, really tasty... *drools slightly, untill she shakes the thought from her head* N-no, I should stop thinking like that! *smacks herself across the face, before starting to drink some tea* *sighs happily, as it always calms her a bit* Plus, I have no idea what the Kurumi of my world is like... It could be that she's not a bad person at all... *shrugs*
8/09Akyuu: Indeed. But was it not someone of my own world who turned you? Then you are doomed to fall to your own fate... If you are weak, that is. *smacks her softly on the forehead* Remember, who are you?
8/09I'm Hiede no Akyuu! Plus, the Yukari from my world must have manipulated it, as, as you said, a poltergeist's illusions are just that - illusions. And if she did, I have to wonder what else she did... I'll have to ask her, next time I see her, and clear some things up.
8/09Akyuu: That woman can speak with a silver tongue, if she is anything like the one I know. She will tell you everything you want to know, before revealing that she told you nothing. Be wary of making any deals with her. *sips her own tea, having let it cool* But what about the vampire did you wish to know of?
8/09Ahh, well... In general, I just wanted to know what she's like, really... While it was a bit bare-bones, the bit in the Flandre section was quite informative on that topic. Thank you for allowing me to learn this. *smiles, before drinking a bit more tea*
8/09Akyuu. That is the basics of it. She is hedonistic, and driven by instinct. She will bite all that allow her to, and is only put down by force. She is especially good at tricking the minds eye, and make you want to succumb to her. However, she is weak, and easy to control by threats of violence. What more is it that you wish to know?
8/09I guess... What did she do, before she started staying by that like? Also, is there really a WHOLE lake of blood...? That sounds... like it would dry up, and/or coagulate...
8/09Akyuu: She did not exist before the lake of blood, at least not here. She may have been born from one of the bats that fed off of the lake, or from the blood itself. *closes her eyes* As for the lake, it is the blood of the men that have been killed by Yuuka Kazami over her lifetime, a silent shrine for the crimes they committed against her. IT is maintained by her guardian, the dís Elly.
8/09Akyuu: *wide eyed* I'll be sure to stay away from the Daiyousei of this world, if I even ever have a chance to meet her... *shudders* A whole lake...
8/09Akyuu: *tilts head* What would Daiyousei have to do with the Kazami? Unless... You mentioned the two are one and the same in yours?
8/09Akyuu: Yeah... Back when Daiyousei met a very, very powerful fae god in Makai, she learned the ultimate magic... She kind of got split in two by it, apparently... We have tea from time to time, as she's one of the few youkai around that is a good person - well, atleast, I thought that... Though, recent events are making me become aware of many of them being better people than most of the humans I know... The side that calls herself Yuuka is hardly a fae anymore... and the fairy side, who calls herself Daiyousei, would be more of a key that's sentient... When they return to being a single being, they are almost as strong as Yukari... I take it the two aren't one in the same in yours?
8/09Akyuu. Heh... Shinki, a fae? Now that is something I'd have never imagined. *shakes her head* But no, you are correct. Daiyousei is a Fae of the Winter Court. She is attempting to rebuild her powerbase here, so that she can take back the entirety of the court. She's not been very active though, only kidnapping one fae to serve by her side. *pauses* Well, one human, which she changed into fae.
8/09Jeez, Daiyousei is evil, too...? Also, what do you mean by changed?
8/09Akyuu: Did I ever say Yuuka was evil? But by changed, I mean that she took the child of one of the townspeople, Marisa Kirisame's great aunt, and turned her into an immortal fae.
8/09But... she killed enough to fill a lake with blood! How isn't that...? Wait, Marisa? Ahh, that reminds me, she turned herself into an ice fae in my world - Dai informed me of this, as I rarely see Marisa in person... Apparently it was an accident, even if she'd been trying to extend her life for as long as I'd known of her...
8/09Akyuu: I'm certain ours wouldn't take such a path. She's smarter than she looks. But tell me, what exactly is the purpose of a flower?
8/09Umm... The same as all other things? To make more, and more?
8/09Akyuu: A flower is designed to attract others. IT is the appealing part of a plant that allows it to reproduce. And consider, if an animal becomes a youkai, it keeps many of its animalistic traits. So, what traits would a flower youkai keep?
8/09...The humans all did what the humans of my village do to youkai? Every last person whose blood is in that lake?
8/09Akyuu: Indeed. But most of it occurred over millennia past. Not much in the past thousand years. *grins slightly* I've spoken to both her and Elly about it. Not too fond of outsiders, but rather nice people. Plus, the magic of the lake magnifies the blood... It would actually be much smaller without it.
8/09Ahh.

Yukari: And the lake of our world was the site of a celestial battle - it's full of celestial blood~
8/09Akyuu: *sips her tea, not looking up* Hello, Yukari.
8/09Yukari: My, you two sure are an interesting pair to see in the same room~ Ohh, and here's that flower that Yuuka gave you, back~ *hands it to the right one*

Akyuu: *smiles* Thank you! I was afraid I lost it...
8/09Akyuu: Now, what business have you hear? I was in the middle of teaching my kin.
8/09Yukari: Ohh, popping in to say hi, and to give her the flower that fell off her on ther way here~ Ta-ta~ *gaps away*

Akyuu: ...That was sudden...
8/09Akyuu: Indeed. I believe she did not wish for me to grill her about why she decided to alter the boundary between you and Kurumi. Hrm... Was there anything else on your mind?
8/09U-umm... thank you... If not for meeting you, I'd still be a complete coward, instead of a partial coward...
8/09Akyuu: *smiles back at her* It's nothing. You are kin. You just had to show it.

Rika: *while still ignored, waves your Akyuu on to go ahead and do it*
8/09(Do what?)
8/09(I was expecting Akyuu to try and hug Akyuu... XD)
8/09Akyuu: *raises a brow at Rika*

(Hehe)
8/09Rika: *realizes she stepped in it and shrugged helplessly*

Akyuu: *raises her eyebrows at them both*
8/09*looks at Rika with a confused expression*
8/09Rika: *mimes a hugging motion*
8/09*does as Rika says, and gives Akyuu a hug*
8/09Akyuu: *freezes immediately, before slowly reaching around* *a small smile does cross over her face ash she rests her head on her twin's shoulder*
8/09*after the short hug, moves to pull away with a smile on her face*
8/09Akyuu: *looks away, letting her hair guard her face* Enough. You're most welcome. Come though; I expect my parents to be waiting for myself, and my guest.
8/09Anything I should do to hide who I am from them...?
8/09Akyuu: That was before you had made your decision. But now, our answer is much simpler.
8/09Okay. *smiles*
8/09Akyuu: Come... kin. Let us introduce you to the family.
8/09*follows close behind*
8/09Akyuu: *leads her down into the dining room, where she finds her parents kneeling in front of a kotatsu. putting her hands together, she bows to them* Mother, Father. I am here.

Mother: *glances up* So I see... And you have that... *eyes widen as she sees the resemblance between the two*

Father: ...
8/09*Does just as the other Akyuu does, but says nothing out of nervousness*
8/09Mother: *stares for a moment, before thinning her lips* Well, what is this? Some sort of prank you engineered? She look remarkably like you, but it is obvious that she is not.

Akyuu: *shaking her head, she softly speaks* No, she is not a prank. She is a resident of a parallel dimension, apparently, that found herself transported here...

Mother: *holds up her hand* What a claim. but if she does claim such a thing, she can speak for herself.
8/09Akyuu: Hello. I am Hiede no Akyuu, cronicler of gensoukyo's past, present, and future - when it arives, atleast. *smiles slightly, and once more bows, hiding any nervousness she felt*
8/09Mother: So, another claim to the name? Perhaps you should drop the act; it's not as if anybody can't see through it-

Father: Enough. *cuts her a glance* The girl speaks the truth... At least in her own eyes. But enough talk of that. She is a guest in our house, and she will enjoy the fruits of it, before we pry into her business anymore. *gives her a steady look* Now, join us.
8/09*bows her head* Thank you.
8/09Akyuu: *kneels by the kotatsu, before subtly nodding beside her. As she does, a few maids come out, carrying dishes*

(I hope your Akyuu has been putting a lot of points into Charisma... or, at least, Refinement)
8/09(She's been without a true family for over 100 years... Also, is the nod a "sit beside me" or...?
8/09(Sit beside me, yes. And this should be... amusing)
8/09*sits beside the other Akyuu in seiza*
8/09*maids bring out the plates, setting down a veritable feast on the table, of foods exotic to that land*

(You have no idea how tempting it is to make them hamburgers)
8/10*swallows her drool before it can have a chance to even think of being noticed*
8/10Akyuu: *catches the motion out of the corner of her eye before smirking. Waiting for her parents to take their food, she reaches for her own and sets it in a bowl*
8/10(You know, this'd be a lot easier to do if you were more specific! XD I can't help but imagine like 40 plates of food...)
8/10(Hrm...)

*before her, lies forty plates of food, each covered with a different dish. A few were old staples, one bowl full of rice, while others a combination of fish, both uncooked and sushi. But the majority were foreign, from fried schnitzel to plates of haggis, to bowls of noodles both Japanese and italian. To top it all off, the smallest few dishes were piled high with deserts, also from across the sea. A white, creamy cake with chocolate and strawberries on top was the largest of them all, dominating every other treat*

(I can get more specific :P)
8/10(...And now I want a cake...)

(...And NOW I can't choose! XD I keep trying to go for things, and yet I then hesitate, wondering if there are plates to transfer things to! Screw it, I'll just transfer it! XD)

*grabs a bowl of rice, and puts some of it in her own empty bowl, before returning it to the feast. Next, she tranfers some sushi to her plate by way of chopsticks, hoping she was doing this right*
8/10(Eheheh... :P You wanted me to. And yes, there are. I'm not going to screw you over because I failed to mention a detail. [Unless...] Remind me to slap him...)

Akyuu: *nods slightly at her, before lowering her chopsticks to her noodles*
8/10(And here I expected the whole Itadakimasu thing! XD And if you try to get me for eating due to this, I'm gonna strange you for it! XD)

*picks up a with her chopsticks, and bites into it. It turns out to be a california roll, but she doesn't mind*
8/10(Eh, I don't know everything, so pardon me if I get it wrong. XD I'm actually not that knowledgeable on the culture... just the very basics)

*The events proceed in silence, as everyone eats enthusiastically. A maid goes around, filling everyone's cup with some wine*

Akyuu: *sniffing at the odd smell, she glances up* No sake or water?

Father: It was the best choice, considering the evening meal tonight.
8/10*takes a sip of the wine and starts on the rice*
8/10Mother: *raises an eyebrow at her, but continues to eat*
8/10*picks up the second half of the califonia roll in her chopsticked hold, and places it in her mouth*
8/10Akyuu: *finishes with her bowl, and sets her sticks to the side, waiting patiently*
8/10*notices Akyuu finish, and hopes that she's not doing something wrong by eating more than her* *eats a half of a crab sushi, and then continues with the other half after swallowing*
8/10Father: *sets his own set of sticks down, calmly waiting.

Mother: *stares down the Akyuu still eating, her chopsticks in her bowl, still digging for food*
8/10*blushes and places her sticks to her side*
8/10Mother: *smiles widely and takes her own bite*

Akyuu: *waits patiently for mother to set it down, before turning to look at Akyuu.*

(Gonna head off in a moment... I'm about to close my eyes, as it is.)
8/10(Okay)

*notices she's being watched out the corner of her eye and turns her head*
8/10*everyone patiently waits for her to speak, Akyuu and her Father more patiently than others*

(And.... I'm finally back. XD Sorry for the wait, Sona. How've you been)
8/10(Good! Also, what is it that I'm suppose to do here? *confused*)
8/10(They're waiting for her to speak. As in, they are putting her off guard, so to test her character. And see if she really is telling the truth. And if she can't think of anything to say, I'll take over the start of the convo.)
8/10Thank you for the meal. *bows her head once more* I must thank you greatly, as few would believe such a story - I myself would even doubt such a situation. So I must thank you for puting even a grain of trust in my words.
8/10Mother: *sniffs* You assume that we've given you such trust, and are not-

Father: *cuts her off* You're most welcome. My staff performed to their best, knowing that we had such a guest. *measures her for a moment* Now, tell me, what business do you have here in this land?

Akyuu: I-

Father: No, daughter. I wish to hear it all from her mouth.
8/10Akyuu: Honestly? I had none when I came here, as I just found myself in a cave with a number of youkai for no apparent reason... However, after I learned of just how horrible the human village of my world is, I couldn't help but to want to grow a spine - to rectify the situation, even if I'll not live past twelve at this point. I was brought here in the hopes that this Akyuu might be able to assist me in this matter.
8/10Father: Blunt and brazen, is she not?

Mother: Indeed! The impertinence of one to come here and to simply waltz in, expecting us to take care of you... Just how I'd expect a commoner to react.

Father: *Watches both his wife and the other Akyuu carefully*
8/10I did not come here expecting to be taken care of - if I gave that impression, I apologise. And the reason of that is that the village I come from treats me as a curse. They fear I will shorten their life spans, and so they they abandon me. I'm lucky that anyone is willing to raise me, even if I'm always left alone once I reach six, and go to live in the same abandoned shack of a home that I did the life prior. If you think I am naut but a burden, I will return to that cave I found myself in, and see if I can rectify my village without further help. I am being honest with you, as I have no reason to keep secrets. Secrets are dangerous things that can cause conflict. I preffer to avoid that, if at all possible.
8/10Father: *grins slightly* Honesty is also dangerous, as you have no reason to believe that the other is also being honest. And the one thing you can always trust is that someone is holding their secrets. *shrugs* Frankly, though, the gift of the child of Maire is not a curse in our eyes. Instead, it is a blessing, to have the immortal reincarnated into our household. But what do you think of her, daughter?

Akyuu: She speaks the truth. I can see it in her eyes. She is as a frightened rabbit is, clinging to whatever shelter she can. She is no cat.
8/10*Silent, as she really doesn't have anything to add*
8/10Mother: *realizes where the conversation is going* I do not wish this upon our household! To have such a commoner join us, and to burden us in such a manner... It is repugnant!

Father: Enough. I have made our decision. You will respect this gift offered forward by our the gods. She may have the demeanor of a commoner, but that can be changed, to make her true Hiede.

Akyuu: *quietly* That is, if she desires as such.
8/10Thank you very much. *deeply bows once and smiles*
8/10Father: Then welcome to the family, Hiede. Although, you may desire a new name, if only to differentiate yourself form our own... *raises eyebrow* Unless you intend to keep it?
8/10I could always go by one of my older names, I suppose... I'll go by the second child's name, Ani, as it was my favorite. Unless you have any objection to that, that is. If so, I will think of another.

(Took forever to figure out which one was the 2nd, after I found the name list! Also found that there are technically 10, are Hiede no Are is zero, as Are means zero! XD Was going to be the 3rd untill I realized that That was the first name that Keine gave her, as she was abandoned in her 2nd rebirth in my time-line, and every one after that. Also, that Akyuu is a play on 9 makes me realise that Kurumi has a slight similarity in it.)
8/10Akyuu: *nods* Indeed, that was my second incarnation's name as well. That is acceptable to me. *turns her head* Is that acceptable to you as well, father?

Father: That it is. Now, enough talk. Let us finish with this feast that has been bestowed upon us. *Lifts up his chopsticks and begins to eat once more.*
8/10(Excellent. Sounds good for me. But how do you mean that Kurumi is similar? All I could find for it was walnut, for the meaning.)
8/10(Ku is form of nine, just as kyu is.)

*once more takes up her weapon, and slowly attacks another sushi.* *Ohh, bacon!*

(Even if a satori isn't around, it can get the message across XD)
8/10(That it can. Bacon... Mmm...)

Akyuu: *grins slightly and grabs her own piece while there are still some left*
8/10*begins to finish off the rest of the bowl of rice, and then filled it with a a bit of soup, as she was still quite hungry.* *picks up the spoon that rested beside where she had rested her chopsicks, and began to slowly eat that*
8/10(I find it funny that every child is a number pun)
8/10*grabs the next piece of sushi, before grabbing another set of noodles from one of the foreign bowls, taking a sip of tea as she went*

(Yup, it is pretty good. Of course, it's also funny that we're role playing a dinner right down to the nitty gritty)
8/10(Also, I thought there was only wine? Also, yeah, heh.)

Ani: *with the soup out of the way, refills her plate with four crab-balls, and begins to work on them, taking a sip of her beverage every so often, whatever it may be*
8/10(This is Gensokyo! There is always tea! But the main drink is wine, yes.)

Akyuu: *sucks up one of the noodles, before grabbing a few small slices of schnitzel*
8/10(Well you should have said so! XD You made me have her drink wine!)

Ani: *bites into crab ball and enjoys it thoroughly, as they are perfect* *pops the rest of the first in her mouth, and adds a bit of shark to her plate, followed by another sip of her drink*
8/10(Is that such a bad thing? XD A little bit wouldn't hurt...)

Akuu: *takes her sticks and eats the little bits of schnitzel, , a quiet expression on her face.* *Afterwards, takes a sample of crawdads from one of the bowls, and breaks open their shells*
8/10*bites another crab ball, and savores the flavor* *So good... I haven't eaten this well since the end of the last incident!* *smiles happily and sips her drink some more*
8/10Akyuu: *lightly taps Ani's foot with her own, while giving her an aside glance*
8/10Ani: *sips her drink and looks to Akyuu*
8/10Akyuu: *slow down, you're eating too quickly* *uses the opportunity to wipe her mouth, clearing it of any mess*
8/10*blushes and does as told, being sure to eat slowly*
8/10Mother: *nods slightly approval* *at least the girl is willing to listen to her betters*
8/10*Sips a bit more of her drink, and contines with her crab balls. Slowly*
8/10*dinner continues in quiet for the next thirty minutes, until Mother and Father excuse themselves. As the maids clean up, they disappear into the house, each going their own ways*
8/10Ani: Sorry if I mis-spoke at any point... *follows after Akyuu*

(And the name works well, as she's a second Akyuu.)
8/10Akyuu: There were times. But you did well for speaking your mind. For all his talk, father does value honesty... But that is not his only reason.

(It does! Although, makes me wonder if there is a difference between cardinal and ordinal numbers in japanese)
8/10(I know that there are two kinda of numbers... That's all,)

Ani: Ohh, good... I thought I screwed up a bit, when I told the truth...
8/10Akyuu: *raises eyebrow* You mean with mother?

(Eh, don't worry. Idle thought)
8/10Ani: No, with her, I just felt as though she was agressive towards me... I meant when I kept very few things hidden, as your father acted like he hated that I told the truth... Though, really the only things I kept quiet are Yukari being involved with me being here, my sister being keine, and that I was a vampire for a bit, and seem to slightly still be...
8/10Akyuu: *strokes her chin* That is something else I wish to ask her about. I want to see if I can ask her to remove that from you.
8/10Ani: *shrugs* It's next to impossible to talk her into things, especially if it may remove a bit of entertainment for her...
8/10Akyuu: I would speak of her not to amuse her, but to help you. That power would be a crutch, however minor it is. And I wish to teach you while you are weak, so that you may grow strong.
8/10*From nowhere in particular* Yukari: Done~

Ani: Ehh? O-oww... *rubs eyes*
8/10Akyuu: *nods her head* Thank you much. I am certain that this will help her greatly.

Rika: *still bummed, having been forced to wait outside for them this entire time* I think Akyuu's good. Mind taking me back to mom so we can get working on the merger?
8/10*A gap appears in thin air*

Ani: *hops away from it, as those things rarely end well*
8/10Rika: *floats through it, finally shedding her glamour*

Akyuu: That would be all. Good luck with the rest of your efforts, fae.
8/10Usagi: Rika! *gives her a big hug*

Cirno: *hugs them both*

*gap closes*
8/10Akyuu: Hrm. I do wonder what her plans may be. But come; we must return to the room of records.
8/10Ani: Okay. *follows*
8/10Akyuu: *leads her through the halls once more, until they emerge in the record room* Browse what you like. I feel I must be updating my compendium. *disappears into the stacks*
8/10*Looks for the book on Daiyousei and Yuuka*
8/10*finds a book on both of them. Please choose which to read, and which section*
8/10*Yuuka, her youth*
8/10...born in the west, somewhere in the Grecian City-States at their prime, Yuuka Kazami was the target of many a young man's desires, not to count many a young woman's. Still innocent due to her youth, not to mention her incredible drive to fulfill her duty as a flower, even now as a full-bodied youkai, she welcomed many of them into her arms, hoping that she would find satisfaction as she had once done.

However, it was not to be. Even though it was just the same as when she was young, letting bees pollinate her so as to fertilize her plant, she began to feel a sense of loss at the constant use of her body. Eventually, the human emotions began to well up within her. Pain, abandonment, filth... All covered her, consumed her. And before too long, she left, leaving that pain behind...
8/10Ani: ...What a sad way to start life. To be unable to enjoy the thing you had done for all of your life... *blushes* Even if it's THAT. *reads on*
8/10...Eventually, in her travels, she came across a dís from up north. One of the pagan goddesses of some unknown tribe, this goddess of protection and fertility took pity on the young youkai. With her steady hand, she took her into her protection, calming her and teaching her what it meant to be alive. With her scythe, she warded off the advances of those who were unwanted and unworthy, no matter what her ward desired.

However, with Elly to protect her, and to teach her, the flower grew. And its vines began to spread across all in its wake.
8/10*switches to the Dai one, and reads on her court of old*
8/10...There is little known about the court of winter, at least that is available to humans. Of the most basic, there is knowledge of the three fae that are in charge. A Matron, a Mother, and a Queen. However, this is no indication of what position the fae Daiyousei holds, or if she holds one of the above indeed. Her demeanor suggests one slighted by the lines of succession, and withheld their rightful position.

Whatever that she may have faced at one point, it shows not now. She has come here, in a bid to build up her own power. It is questionable on to whether she will create her own court to challenge for her old position. More likely, she will place herself as the head of all fae of winter that do exist in this realm, of which there is only one currently...
8/10*read on*
8/10...But that is not of the current concern. What is is the likelihood on whether or not she will strike out against the court of spring, the longer and more established court in this land. While not as strong individually, the court of spring has mastered its glamour, and is able to seduce many to become part of its tribe. As such, sheer numbers and enthusiasm can carry it in battles that not even a skilled fae could endure.

Which leads to the summation of the fae's abilities...
8/10*reads on* Interesting...
8/10Daiyousei, as her name might profess, is one of the greater fae. As such, she has command over various different powers. As one of the fae of the court of winter, she has great command over ice. Along with that, though, is a myriad of other uses. She can control the metaphorical coldness and ice that lies in all things. She can grow the cold in one's heart, and make them hateful of their closest friends. She is able to turn the dog back into a beast, and make it attack its master.

On top of that power, she also has the power of her glamour. Being so strong, she is able to transcend reality, and turn others into her own kind. On her own, though, it is only a few at a time that succumb to such a power. It is fortunate that she focuses her energies on one, as multiple targets could prove quite lethal to those of the villages.
8/10Hmm... *reads on*
8/10That is of no concern now. For as long as eyes are kept open to the kidnappings of the children of the village, there should be no need to worry. And indeed, as the only family that has any inclination too magic whatsoever remains the Kirisame family, there is no surefire way for the fae to gain subjects of her own.
8/10Ehh? The Kirisame family have magical talent here...? *goes for the Marisa book*
8/10...risa Kirisame, a member of a line that is known to be cursed with such a high magical affinity. While rare, the line is known to breed true, with a magician of notable aptitude being born every few generations. As has been previously noted, Marisa Kirisame, while young, has been able to fight toe to toe with youkai many times her age. And in more case, to browbeat them.

For further example, we would turn to the previous one with a magical talent. Marisa Kirisame's great aunt was, at the time, not even out of the double digits. However, taken by the great fae Daiyousei, she was twisted into a being of the fae. While not as strong as Marisa, the new fae now known as Cirno also has great power, and has reportedly exceeded Daiyousei's own power after only sixty years...
8/10Really...? *goes for the Cirno book*
8/10(Can I take Making This up off the top of my head for $500? XD)

...the youngest of the fae in the land (notwithstanding the various possible ages of the Lily's), Cirno is a unique case. While she is of the winter fae, she has none of the negative emotions that would be indicative of their presence. All behavior remains standard, similar to that of a young child. Truly, she remains unaware of any plans that the older fae may have for her.

And after examining the powers of the younger fae, I must come to the conclusion that she will become stronger. Any strength in physical ice magic that the elder possesses is minimal after observing her. It is no doubt likely that she was and is capable of freezing the entirety of misty lake, if she so desired...
8/10(That's about 95% of my chapters! XD I make things up, and stick to the established facts. Such as Cirno once being named Saruno and leading an army of ice fae against and army of fire fae, and doing enough horrible things to become a pixie.)
8/10*reads on*
8/10(Well, yeah, but I'm trying to keep to some semblance of canon... Before Nitori and Rika f it all up...)

Still, there is nothing to suggest that she possesses the appropriate temperament, and all discussion to that end is completely conjecture. Possible attempts at saving the girl have been considered, but each have been thrown out as ludicrous. Indeed, the only human that would have the power to do such a thing would possibly be Kirisame, mostly due to her blood links to the girl. Whether the blood that runs in her veins is still similar enough, though, remains to be seen.
8/10(I base my things off canon when I can, or twist the logic of things. Such as Reimu seemingly knowing Yukari from before PCB! XD)

Interesting... *read on*
8/10(Ja, I gotcha... warning though. If you want any practical knowledge, you need to seek it soon.)

Furthermore, there is little reason to believe that she will want to change back. She is but a child, and will resist with all of her might the prospect of growing up. Instead, it is more likely that she could be appealed to in the motherly since. Once winter comes, I have proposed seeing out the yuki-onna in an attempt to begin drawing the fae away from Daiyousei. So far, there has been some measure of success, as long as the village itself is protect from her wrath...
8/10(But I'm going through all the names I can think of... I can't think of any of them that would be more practical)
8/10(Who said you had to look for just names? Magic, fighting techniques... Whatever. And as for the reason I say it... three more posts by me, and they'll have done it)
8/10(Well how was I supposed to know that would be in here? XD I imagine akyuu to have nothing but information on all she has interviewed...)

*Looks for fighting techniques that don't involve any sort of strength*
8/10(Pick whatever you want! Akyuu remembers everything... Put it this way, I'll tell you if it isn't there. :P Sorry for not making it clearer, though)

*a pile of handwrittens notes are found on a nearby desk. They are quickly brushed, using katakana instead of kanji. Along with each description is a diagram, describing the movements necessary. Defensive in posture, using the weight of the opponent against yourself, it requires clever use of momentum instead of offensive use of strength*

*Gained +5 in unarmed - Akido*
8/10*look for the easiest ways to break bones, and pressure points*
8/10*another set of notes, even more sparse, lies near the top of the shelf. They represent the various methods of armed combat, none of which is suitable for one your size. However, there is a method to impact pressure points- although it is incomplete. Perhaps the notes were scattered, or unfinished*
8/10*study more methods on how to fight in ways that don't require strength*
8/10*nothing more is found in the immediate vicinity. However, a book on various dances is found, with many diagrams available for perusal. However, as soon as she is done flipping through, an explosion sounds outside as the window flares with a bright light*
8/11Ehh? Ohh, my... What was that? *sets down the book*
8/11Akyuu: *appears from behind the bookshelves, ink smudged on her hands. stares at the window, eyes narrowing.* Did you perhaps mention something about the worlds merging?
8/11Akyuu: Yes, why? ......has happened...?
8/11*outside, a whirling vortex has consumed the sky. A giant love-coloured pillar of light flies upward from youkai mountain, piercing the heavens and opening up said portal. Around it, smaller portals have begun to open, as dark specs begin to drop through the thrashing heavens*
8/11Ani: ...I think that's a yes... That's not too good... I honestly don't have a clue as to why they would want to do that... ...Heck, I half thought it to be a joke...
8/11Akyuu: If it is the kappa, or anyone descended from them... It is merely to prove that they can... *a large vortex opens up near the edge of town, whipping up wind as it unfolds on the top of the hill*
8/11Ani: Ahh... Well, this'll be a unique experience... I hope Yukari fixes it some time, as she still needs to fix time in general, I think...
8/11Akyuu: Indeed. I do hope that this doesn't mean... *a large dark shape appears from the vortex and begins falling* Drat. I had hoped for a nice quiet day.
8/11What? What does it mean? *looks at the shape*
8/11*a large, mostly square shape seems to appear, falling from the sky before landing on a hill in the distance. In the sudden darkness, it is hard to tell the details, but the scarlet paint is clear to all that survey it*

Akyuu: *narrows her eyes and suddenly straightens up, dropping any hint of lady-like posture*

(Can I say it?)
8/11(Sure)
8/11(This town shall be ripe with the stench of bitches!

...sorry. I've had that in my mind for hours now... XD)
8/11Ani: ...W-well, atleast the youkai of my world aren't so bad, really... Ahaha... Though, I still don't see this ending well...
8/11Akyuu: Indeed. I shall have to meet them at the gate, though. And prevent them from having any funny ideas. *in a flash, opens the window and leaps out*
8/11(Should Ani follow? XD; I have no idea!)
8/11(Do what you think is right. But nothing is going to be seeking her out, I will say. Does she feel like she will be of use?)
8/11(I suppose she won't be a burden.)

Ani: *chases after Akyuu, not quite as swiftly*

-

Patchouli: Hrm... *closes book* Saku-

Sakuya: Yes?

Patchouli: Inform Remi that we've been transported to another Gensoukyo.

-

Flandre: *looks out a window* Wow! Two mansions! *conjures Laevetienn* I wonder if anyone will be my friend~? *makes her way out the window, leaving behind a large hole*

-

Tenshi: Hmph... It looks like a good battle may be coming... *hops on a keystone* Iku!

Iku: Yes?

Tenshi: I'm going out to... play, perhaps. Go have fun in the flower field, or come with me, but I sense pain and suffering to be on the rise, so I'm sure you would enjoy these battles that will surely happen.

Iku: *blushes at the prospect of pain* Y-yes.

-

Usagi: ...Did it... work?

Yukari: Ohh, yes...
8/11Akyuu: *begins leaping across the rooftops, barely pausing as a figure exits out the side, creating a large gaping hole in said building*

(Huge wall of text! Oorah!)
8/11Flandre: *looks about for eyes* Hmm... many to that direction, a few to... that... Why are there no eyes at all towards that other red house...? Hrm... Ohh! One strange one on the roof! *flaps her wings a couple times, and goes up to the roof* Hi! *grins happily*

-

Aya: Hmm! This looks like it'll be a good scoop! C'mon Wriggle!

Wriggle: Coming!

-

Hatate: Hatatata... *flys out a window, with the intent of keeping an eye on Aya, and maybe getting some pictures for counter black-mail*

-

Aya: *flys down the cave that goes all the way to the top of the mountain with Wriggle in tow* (yes, earl spent the night there)
8/11Akyuu: *glances up at her, forcing herself to not instantly kick at the girl* ...Hello...

-

Su-san: *glances up at the clouds* Oh no, this can't be good... Must warn grandma... *dashes away, leaving Medicine alone and confused*

-

Lunasa: Oh, dammit, something else happening. It's all that cretin's fault, I will say... Completely his fault. *grumbles, and begins to look around for her coffee cup

-

Remilia: Oh-ho.... This will be fun... Sakuya, perhaps we could take the time to go out and... play?
8/11Flandre: Will you be my friend? *smiles*

-

Kurumi: *sigh* Again...? Damn Yukari, and her whims... I best go and great myself~

-

[Sonanoka]

Daiyousei: Looks like I'd best find my better half... *flys off*

-

Reimu: ...I'm staying home... It's too late for this crap... I'll get to it in the *yawn* morning...

-

Ani: *huff* Where... Where did she go...?
8/11Akyuu: Perhaps I can be. Can I ask what is your business here?

-

Letty: A chill is in the wind... This is not natural. Perhaps I will leave my home early, to check it out...

-

Marisa: Oh, this ought to be fun... But I should go check on Alice first. Maybe she'd like to have some fun...

-

Shizuha: More? This is not natural... This beginning isn't right. I wonder if it will end... Or if I must be the one to do it.

-

Sakuya: Of course, my lady. Join me, please, and we shall entertain ourselves with this new crowd.
8/11*From one gap, unseen by most, an unseen mountain is placed behind Youkai mountai, which houses the ice pixies*

Remilia: ...Flandre's out, again... *sigh* S-

Sakuya: Mistress, Patchouli would like to i-

Remilia: I know. However, Flandre has gotten out again... I'd rather not lose her, too, even if she IS nigh indestructable.

-

Flandre: I want to make lots of friends! Little sis Usa said that I could easily make friends, if I only tried! *offers hand* Friends? *smiles like a child*

-

Ani: Wha- Who's there?

Kurumi: Why, hello, little one...

Ani: You... You're the one Yukari spoke of aren't you?

Kurumi: That I am - I'm you. Now, I'm not about to let you die on this night of nights, so I shall guard against... any particularly high threat.

-

Marisa: Eheheh... Hehe... This'll be a good test, ze~! *grins wide* Let's see... *fishes in her hat* Broom, broom, broom... ah-hah! *pulls a broom that's much larger than the entire hat out* There we go, ze~! *hops on, and blasts through her own window*

-

Sanae: Sanae is a good girl... Sanae will save the day, and be the hero! Eheh... heh... *grins and flies off* ahahahahaha!
8/11(G'night. Sleepy.)
8/11Akyuu: Yes, I believe I can. *takes the hand* Now tell me, little one, who is it that is the master of that mansion?

-

Merlin: Yay! IT worked! I must go and find my copy! And introduce to her the joy that is eggplants!

-

Mystia: *watches various youkai keep falling from the sky* Well, at least I won't be lacking in visitors. Perhaps it would be nice if I had some more... *sighs, and looks into the forest*

-

Tokiko: *eyes widen, as she clings desperately to her book, afraid they are coming to take it away*
8/11(Morning there, milady. Hope you've slept well)
8/11Flandre: Big sis Remi! *smiles happy*

Meiling: *leaps onto the roof* Flan, tell me, is this person good or bad? She looks very familiar, and yet her ki is... different.

Yoshika: *hops onto the roof* ...Helloooo. *monotone*

-

Sakuya: It would seem lady Flandre has been located.

Remilia: ...Exellent. And the human I smell?

Sakuya: Being gently interrogated.
8/11Akyuu: *stares them all down, before focusing on Meiling* I am Hiede no Akyuu, one of the protectors of this village. And I ask you to stand down before I must take action otherwise.

(Shouldn't it be humans? Since Akyuu is still in town, and there are lots around her.)

-

Marisa: Oi, Alice! Be up and about! We've some fun to be having down at the human village!

Alice: *quietly looks at her hand, before hiding it from Marisa's sight* *pulls a glove on* If... if that is what you want, Marisa... I'm not in the mood to argue today.

Marisa: Well, ain't that a pretty pickle. Still, hurry up! I'd like the company.
8/11(I Thought you said she said that she saw the window blow out...)
8/11(What do you mean? And sorry for the wait... remind me to not let my sister drag me out shopping again)
8/11("*begins leaping across the rooftops, barely pausing as a figure exits out the side, creating a large gaping hole in said building*" Wouldn't she need to be at the SDM to see that?)
8/11(Remember, the SDM is now at the edge of the human village... I perhaps should have spelled that out further)
8/11(I guess! XD)

Flandre: She's nice! *grins happly* She said she'll be my friend!

Meiling: 's that so? Well, that's good. Now, come along flan, and we get you h-

Flandre: B-but I don't wanna go home yet...

Yashika: ...Meiliiiing's right. It's daaaangeround out heeere...
8/11Akyuu: Actually, you should be fine... as long as you don't cause any trouble. The human village is... relatively safe. *glances up at the clouds once more* Unless anyone else appears...
8/11Tenshi: *speeds through the sky like a comet*

-

Kurumi: Now, lets get you back to the other Akyuu, hmm? *grins*

Ani: A-ahh, riGHT?! *gets picked up and flown off with*
8/11Alice: Come on, Shanghai, Hourai, Orleans... No, it's alright, Berlin, London, Tibet. I should be fine. *glances around* Where is Moscow- Oh, that's right. Yukari said she had been helping... *Sighs* I hope she is ok... *exits her house, taking care to lock the door*

Marisa: So, ya ready, Alice? I think that I'm going to enjoy this...

-

Merlin: *floats through the air* Hum de dum... Where is the other Merlin? I shall find her eventually..
8/11(I have no idea how to portray Merlin! XD; )

Merling: *taps Merlin on the shoulder from behind with a grin on her face and a bit of contained laughter*

-

Kurumi: *swoops down* Aaaand we're here. Hello, once again, Akyuu! *Grins and sets down Ani*

Ani: *knees shaking* F-felt my stomach... dr-drop out, there...
8/11(Well, you don't have to... It was going to be a running gag, that she'd never find her... But whatever you want)

Merlin: Aaaaiiiiiyyyyyeeee! *screams and leaps around* My evil twin! So glad to meet you! I look just like you!

-

Akyuu: *eyes narrow, peering up at the youkai.* Many thanks. Although, Ani, we must go forth and seek out the mistress of this mansion. I must inquire... personally, as to her aspirations, now that the landscape has changed.
8/11Mernin: Ahaha! You had the most priceless of reactions! Lets do that again - turn back around!

-

Flandre: Ohh, ohh, can I come? *grins happily*

Kurumi: *chuckles* It's good to see you again, Flan.

Flandre: ...Who are you, yellow lady?

Kurumi: ...A... A friend.

Flandre: *Gasps* Yay! A new friend!

Ani: Alright, Akyuu.
8/11Akyuu: Actually, I insist. If you would kindly lead on.

-

Merlin: Ok, but instead of me doing it... *pulls a fruit out of her hat* We can use this eggplant to represent me instead!
8/11Flandre: Okay, big flower! *skips off, in the direction of the SDM*

Meiling/Yoshika: *sighs and follows, one of whom does so by hopping*

Kurumi: *follows as well*

Ani: *follows*

-

Merlin: Yeah! ...But how will we get it to float...?
8/11Akyuu: *eyes the ones hopping, and shakes her head* Well, look on the brightside. Will take insane over murderous any day...

-

Merlin: Why would it need to float? It's not as if there is some mysterious force that will pull it to the ground!
8/11Flandre: Eheh~ I can be both, if someone tries to harm or kidnap my friends *grin* Though, that's mostly when the moon's full! *stops acting childish for a moment* Though, it's not as though hopping about is anything that Yoshika needs to resist. I for one preffer her resisting the urge to eat souls, myself. *goes back to grinning like a happy little child*

-

Merlin: Good point! Let's do this! *grins*
8/11Akyuu: I am quite aware of what you are aware of, Miss Scarlet. Just don't get any funny ideas about the humans, as they are under my protection.

-

Merlin: *pulls out a pink hat from her own hat and places it upon the eggplant, which floats in the air*

-

Marisa: *flying along with Alice beside her* Look, down there! Since when has the SDM been here? We need to go check his out, Alice!

Alice: Whatever you say... Even though it doesn't look quite the same. Not the right shade of Scarlet... Hourai? *dolls climbs up onto her shoulder, patting her as they fly* Prepare yourself...
8/11Merlin: Woooow!

-

Flandre: *giggles*

-

Yukari: *gaps up ahead of team malice* Ohh, and Alice... *holds up Moscow* I do believe this would be yours~
8/11Alice: M-moscow? *the doll crashes into her face, giving her a big hug* Where did you come from? And how did you go out... on your own?

-

Eggplant: Hiiiii! I'm Merlin! Look at me, I'm all bubbly and super excited and curvy!

Merlin: *immediately frowns* Excuse me?

Eggplant: I mean, completely normal proportions!

Merlin: Good. *grins* That gives me another idea... *grabs a pear out of her hat and puts a black hat on it*

Pear: Hello... I'm Lunasa. And I really hate everything, and I reall want some frickin' coffee...

-

Akyuu: *reaches the gate behind them* Well, Miss Scarlet? Am I permitted inside?
8/11Flandre: Yeah! Big sis said that anyone who's my friend can come in as they please, and that betraying that friendship would be signing their own death cirtificate, whatever that is! Has the word "death" in it, so I guess it's be a bad thing... Anywho, c'mon! *pushes the gate to the side with literally no effort*

-

Yukari: *smiles at the reunion*

-

Merlin: ...What's coffee?
8/11Akyuu: Hrm... It does indeed sound as if this version of Remilia has control over fate, as well. *strolls inside, adopting a more ladylike posture, gliding over the stones*

-

Marisa: *can't help but to turn away, coughing a few times* Y-yeah, Alice, we need to get going. You can get back together with Moscow in a bit, right? And ask her all the questions you want.

Alice: *sighs, before patting Moscow on her back* There there... She is right. But we can discuss this... later? *pauses* Also, do you have anything to defend yourself with?

Moscow: *pulls out an extraordinarily long shiv from her boot. long for a doll, that is*

Alice: *grins widely, and pats her head* That's my little cossack.

-

Pearnasa: It is the most wondrous of concoctions! The nectar of the gods, distilled into bitter forms! It awakens those from the deepest of slumbers, and enlightens even the dullest... *turns sharply and glares at the two. Somehow. Since when do pears glare?* And not allowed to be had by those whom are hyperactive!

Eggplantlin: Aww... super stingy...

(I don't know how I got to the point of roleplaying fruit, but this is awesome. XD)
8/11Merlin: Aww... Wait, bitter...? Sounds gross... *pretends to gag*

-

Yukari: Have fun, you two~ *giggles and slips back into her gap*

-

Flandre: Yeah! She keeps me from accidentally making things go kyuu! It's really hard to not touch any of the eyes around me, you know...? *looks down sadly*
8/11Merlin: It is. But it really gives you a boost! Bouncy bouncy boosty boosty. Don't you think so, Merlin?

Eggplantlin: Yeah! I love to bounce around. Especially onto sister Lyrica!

-

Akyuu: That is indeed interesting, and troublesome. I do wonder what would happen if she would meet up with her twin in this land... *pauses, before shaking her head* Not to make anything less out of your plight. I cannot imagine how difficult such power can be to control. *I can, actually, but a white lie won't hurt her...*

-

Marisa: We will! And look who it is... *spots the group of travelers at the gate* Is that who, I think it is? *begins to suck in breath*

Alice: *facepalm* I may love the girl, but she can be such an idiot at times.

Marisa: Oi! Chiiiinaaaa!
8/11Meiling: Grr...

Flandre: *looks to the sky and instantly smiles wider* Hi, Marisa! *grins toothily* Want to play! ...Why aren't you a fairy anymore!

Kurumi: Ohh, this'll be entertaining...

Merlin: Really? We should both have some, and... and double bounce about! *grins*

-

Nue: Hrm... Interesting~ *grins*

Murasa: Ehh? What is it, Nue? What do your nue eyes see?

Nue: ...Okay, that was a really bad joke, and you should feel bad.
8/11Merlin: *nods* Alright! Let's see... Who might have coffee...

Pearnasa: Not me... *breaks down sobbing*

Eggplantlin: I know! How about............................................. ....... Minoriko! She grows stuff! ............right?

-

Marisa: But I ain't a fairy, kiddo! Just good ol' Marisa here, human as ever. *points out Alice behind her* I've got her for all my youkai needs. As for good ol' China here, I just wanted to say hello.

Akyuu: *rubs her face. Kirisame... Irritating as always. I don't suppose you can be persuaded to leave us be? There is more at work than you realize.

Alice: *shakes her head* You know how she can be at these times, Akyuu. *glints at them* ...Why are there two of you? And why is the youkai of the lake of blood here?
8/11Meiling: *punches the air in Marisa's direction, creating a shockwave from the force of the punch* My name in HONG MEILING!

Flandre: *looks sharply at Meiling* Temper, temper, Meiling. Stand. down. *Goes back to acting childishly* Marisa~ Play with me~ *grins*

Meiling: *Tenses and stops going for the irritating witch*

-

Merlin: I have no idea! *grins*
8/11Marisa: *loops around the blast, before grinning* You mind if I play with China for a bit? She needs to air this out. I've never seen her in such a temper either. She's usually so laid back... *whips out a card* Maybe she needs to work everything out?

-

Merlin: Then let's go find her! And we can go drink coffee and double bounce!
8/11Flandre: You might end up with nothing left of you, if you go for her. I atleast go easy on you... *sigh* Akyuu? The tall one. Would you mind of I sick Meiling on the annoyance? She's not the fun Marise that I know, obviously...

-

Merlin: Yeah! Let's!
8/11Merlin: *begins flying down* Eheh, she's around here somewhere...

Eggplanlin and Pearnasa: *sit on other Merlin's shoulders*

-

Akyuu: Might as well. I've yet to meet anyone who can beat her in danmaku. And she's a tough girl; she'll live.

Marisa: *begins to spin the card in her hands, whistling to herself* Of course, that is if she isn't too scared...

(Oh, Marisa is so fun...)
8/11Flandre: *grins* Go get 'er.

Meiling: *As fast as a bullet, Meiling shot her body right at Marisa, her fist charged with a rainbow of energy that could knock an oni down*
8/11Marisa: *dashes out of the way of Meiling, biggest grin on her face* Well, so that's how we're gonna be, then. No spellcards? Alright... *lets the card in her hands float away into magic, before dozens of spheres appear in the sky* Orrerie's Sun...! *as she speaks, thousands of pieces of energy burst forth, sliding towards her target*
8/11Meiling: *bats the orbs to the sides with many, many punch shockwaves aimed in every direction in front of her*

-

Merlin: Well, let's go find her!
8/11Marisa: Not bad, not bad... Actually trying to attack me? Nothing at all like yourself, China! Usually you just tell me to shut up and leave you the hell alone. *flies down near to the mansion, buzzing the tower as her blasts of magic shoot forth, aiming in Meiling's general direction.*

-

Merlin: We're already here, though! *looks around through the field* We just need to find something that looks like coffee. Or bouncies.
8/11Meiling: *sucks in air, and then blows with all of the Oni strength in her lungs to reflect them* *once landed, leaps at Marisa again, now both of her fists charged with energy*

-

Merlin: ...But what does coffee look like?
8/11Marisa: Well, if that's how we're going to do it... *holds up here hakerro, aiming straight at the charging gatekeeper* 「Love Sign...

-

Merlin: It's... real small. And brown. Like little doots! You put it in water and heat it up and it makes you so bouncy!

Eggplantlin: Yeah! As bouncy as this thing I just found! *pats the two bouncy things it is sitting on... somehow. As it doesn't have hands and yet is still able to pat*
8/11Meiling: *takes a rock from her pocket, and throws it at the Hakero softly enough that it'll only break a small bit*
8/11(Shall I use one of my Aki halves?)
8/11Marisa: *watches it get hit, sparking just slightly* My hakerro... *glances up at her, eyes narrowing* Very well. Kiddy gloves are coming off. 「Love Sign: Knockout in Three Steps!」*begins to glow slightly as she is surrounded by laser spewing orbs*

(Sure, whatever you want to do! I was waiting to see on your Merlin's reaction to determine whose Aki it was)
8/11???: Git offa me, ya idjit! These aint for restin' on!

-

Meiling: *smirks* *whole body being to eminate Rainbow energy* Grr... It had to have a name of one of THAT oni's cards... *muscles begin to buldge, and double in size* I. HATE. HER.
8/11Marisa: *grins as the lasers begin to pulse forward at her, pocketing the hakerro that was smoking slightly* You look a bit angry there, China. Sure you don't want to chill out for a bit?

Alice: *sighs, floating down next to Akyuu* Must that girl antagonize her foes?

-

Merlin: Whoah! You sound like you're from home, over there. Ain'tcha gonna be talkin' up a fuss, wouldja know? Just git it on over to that there holler, and we can have us a big pig pickin'!
8/11???: What ya be talkin' 'bout, ya idjit...? Make sense, or be off with ya!

-

Meiling: *Takes a slightly Rumia-like pose, before clapping once with all of her strength, causing a sonic boom, and an enormous shockwave in the direction of the witch*
8/11Merlin: Now, come on, mah twin and me be lookin' for a wee bit o' coffee ta be havin'. Ya have any ta spare, or know where ta get some, ya see?

-

Marisa: *shakes her before raising her hand* Well, if I piss you off, I might as well piss everyone else off... But first... 「Magic Sign: Narrow Spark」 *small laser blasts forth, piercing the top of the shockwave*
8/11???: I Reccon I do! What ya be needin' it fer, girlie?

-

Meiling: *The shockwave had mostly been meant as a distraction, and to kick up a great deal of dirt, so she punched upwards, and quietly shot towards the ground* *stealthily sneaks across the ground, and leaps from under Marisa, intent of breaking her broom*
8/11Merlin: We be wantin' ta be gettin' high on it! Ain't that right girls?

Pearnasa: Yes yes! Me want coffee! *pats the bounciness she is lying on*

-

Marisa: *spots the girl coming from below, eyes widening* clever girl... *begins reciting under her breath, hand beginning to glow*
8/11???: What, yer gonna snort it er some such thing...? Kids these days... Alright, I reccon I can do that fer ya.

-

Meiling: *begins to leap about in random directions under her, now that she's been spotted, all the while charging energy in her hand* Kaaaaaa... Meeeeee...

(Yes, I'm going to be cheesy now.)
8/11(Oh, sure, that's fine. But that means I can be cheesy back. :P)

Marisa: *sighs, and holds up her hand* This ends now. 「Magicannon Love...

-

Merlin: Snort it? Nah, we be drinkin' it! What do you suspect we do with da coffee?

???: Besides steal it from my fields?
8/11???: Ehh? It's me other half? But why's she look like me...? Somthin' stinks 'round here...
8/11Minoriko: Last I checked, I had only one half. And if you are referring to Shizuha, then I wouldn't have the slightest clue. She speaks not in a manner like that, in any matter.
8/11Minoriko: What ya be talkin' about, ya idjit! There can't be two gods o' the 'arvest. That'd be... well, that'd be too much 'arvest, that'll be sure!

-

Meiling: Haaaaa.... Meeeeeeeeeee...
8/11Marisa: Twi...light... *blackhole begins to form between her fingers, as the very sky begins to darken*

-

Minoriko: Why, I never! To have an imposter be acting in such a manner, while wearing my name! And there is never too much to harvest. There is so many to feed, so many that need the food...
8/11Meiling: *thrusts hands forward* HA! *A great beam of rainbow, much like the Master Spark, and yet much thicker, errupts from her hand*
8/11Marisa: Spark! *the point between her fingers collapses as she snaps them together, before an enormous beam of light erupts in front of her, twisting in dark energy as it saps the light from the very sky*
8/11*The two beams connect, darkness tries to extingish the other, and the light tries to banish the other*

Minoriko: I dun know 'bout you, but I've always had too much every season! *lets a minute amount of her blessing into a seed in her palm, and it begins to grow, and grow, and grow, and grow, untill it's producing about 100 pumkins, all of which floating in the air*
8/11Minoriko: *nods in appreciation, before letting the vines around her begin to grow, covering the ground with grapes* I am aware of how much I am able to grow. However, there is nevre too much. I would rather throw away food that is not needed, than need food not grown.

-

*eventually, the two mix enough that they explode outward, in a shockwave that sends them both reeling*
8/11Minoriko: Hrm... Neither a us be liein'... but... 'ow can this be? Two o' the same god? ...And yet different in many a way?
8/11Meiling: *gets blasted away, and tumbles across the ground*
8/11Merlin: It's because Miss Rika and Miss Nitori made a big boom boom in the sky with their cucumber science!

Eggplanlin: Lucky cucumbers...

-

Marisa: *falls from the sky, only to be caught by Shanghai and Hourai*

Alice: *eyes glowing softly, lowers her hand, guiding the dolls to the ground* Same as always, that Marisa... She can be quite foolish, can't she? *shrugs* Now, Moscow, come here real quickly...
8/11Flandre: *flaps over to Meilings side* *pokes with her staff-blade* Oi... Meiling. *poke* Meiling. *poke* China. *poke* Kurenai Misuzu.

Meiling: *gets up immediately*

-

Minoriko: Blasted kappa...
8/11Alice: When she wakes up, *whisper whisper whisper* Ok?

Moscow: *nods, and grins*

Shanghai&Hourai: *set her on the ground gently*

-

Merlin: Oh, don't worry! The other Yukari was helping her! Although, was it with the cucumbers, or was it with the cucumber jokes?
8/11*A blaze of blue startdust streaks towards the gats, and suddenly stops.*

Marisa: Jeez, this world is unique, da ze~! ...Why is there another me, who happens to be human...?

Flandre: Marisa! *tackles her to the ground in a hug*

Marisa: *grins* Hey there, Flan~ I smelled twilight magic, so I flew right over, ze~!

-

Minoriko: *sigh* Dammit, Yukari...

Merlin: *giggles*
8/11Merlin: Oh, where's your sense of fun? You can have more harvest now! Although, you might have less total... faith. *winks at both of them*

-

Akyuu: Well, now, this is... interesting. Such a close relationship between the youngest scarlet and Kirisame? *glances at the still body of Marisa* I wonder...

Marisa: Eh, what just happened...?

Moscow: *holds a knife to Marisa's throat*

Marisa: Uhhh.. Alice? A little help...
8/11Meiling: You did well, human Marisa. Keep up your training, and maybe you beat me next time, instead of a draw. The one physical weakness of an oni, and you managed to hit it. Good job, kid... *claps from where she's sitting, without a scratch on her, but a throbbing headache*

Marisa: Jeez, she knocked you out? Musta been a twilight spark of some sort, ehh?

Mima: Why yes, is was. *slips out from the shadows*

Marisa: Ahh! Hey, master!
8/11Marisa: Eh, thanks, China... *too busy staring down the glass-eyed doll to bother with saying anything else* Err... Alice? You gonna be getting this thing off of me?

Alice: *buffs her gloved hand on her shirt* It's not as if you don't deserve it... You should have started with the twilight spark.
8/11Meiling: *flicks a peble at Marisa's forehead, just hard enough to hurt* Stop calling me China.

Mima: My, that human version of you looks just like you once did, my pupil.

Marisa: I know, right?
8/11Marisa: *flinches at the rock, but still is staring* Alright, Alice... I'll be more careful, I swear.

Alice: *smiles a little* Good. *waves Moscow off, before offering her gloved hand*
8/12Mima: So, are you two going to kiss, or is this touching moment done with? *grins*

Rumia: Aww, and here I thought they were going make out... I like watching kissing... *pouts*
8/12Alice: *rolls her eyes* Why don't you just kiss each other if you want to watch it?

Marisa: *grabs the hand and accidentally pulls the glove off* ...Alice?
8/12Mima: *Grins widely, and get pulled into a deep kiss by Rumia* *hugs her happily, while pulling the tiny one onto her lap*
8/12Marisa: *distracted by the wooden hand concealed by the glove* Alice? What... what happened?

Alice: *looks away, her eyes growing empty* I don't want to talk about it...
8/12Ani: That... doesn't look healthy...

Kurumi: Indeed!

Rumia: *gets Mima on her back, and pinned quite nicely*
8/12Akyuu: No, it does not... *looks closely at her* This does not have anything to do with your book being stolen by Hijiri, does it?

Alice: ...

Marisa: Alice... Tell me. What happened?
8/12Yukari: *gaps in* Ahh, to tell, or not to tell~? This tension is good for entertainment, but...
8/12Akyuu: Quiet, Yukari. This is for them to settle, as friends.

Shanghai: *looks up at her with her big doll eyes, before singing in her sweet voice* Shanghai~?

Alice: No, I suppose I should tell. Byakuren Hijiri stole my Grimoire from me, and turned it against me. You know the power that it contains... *at Marisa's nod, she continues* When she stole it, she was able to turn it against me. It was a fit of wild magic, but... effective.

Hourai: *looks down, hugging the girl's leg as its noose swings to and fro* Hourai~...

Alice. Yes, yes. And in the process, I was turned int... *begins to shake* Into a doll...
8/12Marisa: That sounds a bit funny, really... The puppeteer becomes a puppet, ze~!
8/12Marisa: *snaps at the fairy* Shut it, you twit! *turns back to Alice, walking closer to her and putting her hand on her shoulder* But you were turned back?

Alice: *raises up her left hand, looking at the wooden joints* Partially. The book... I believe it wanted to punish me for letting it be stolen. So it left a reminder...
8/12Ani: How odd that it'd be uncovered so quickly...

Marisa: It's a plot device, ze~

Ani: A what...?

Mima: *sigh* We aren't in some sort of story, Marisa.
8/12Akyuu: *aside* That, and it was only a glove. Should have used something sturdier. The poltergeist has a few things...

Marisa: *grabs the hand, before examining it* To be honest, it looks just like Shanghai's... Can you feel with it?

Alice: *nods slightly* But nothing feels right...

(Granted, this was not the way I planned to reveal it. It was going to be your Flan that did it, actually)
8/12(Hehe)

Flandre: I'm sure miss puppet can get used to it! *grins* There are a great many things one can get used to, if forced~ *bobs wings, causing them to make noises*
8/12Alice: *glances up, flinching back* Wait, Flandre Scarlet? What are... what are you doing out? And besides, since when is the SDM here...?

Marisa: *says nothing, still examining the hand*
8/12Flandre: Big sis says it's good to get fresh air, and now seemed like a goo time! *giggles*

Kurumi: Though too much of the stuff can become an issue... Well, not so much of an issue, as an annoyance...
8/12Alice: Remilia is here? *eyes widen* Marisa...

Marisa: I know. But we'll talk more about this later.
8/12Flandre: *tilts head* Big sis isn't scary, or anything... Why react like that? At most, she'll want a little blood from Marisa as a toll for the library~ I for one think yours tastes nasty, though...

Marisa: See if I give you my blood again... *pouts*

Flandre: A-ahh... Sorry, Marisa...
8/12Marisa: Are we talking about the same Remilia here? The last time I met her... Well, it wasn't pleasant. That maid of hers nearly tore me in two...

Alice: Indeed. If we are speaking of the same one, there would be something wrong with you, too. The Remilia we know would never let her sister out of the basement.
8/12Flandre: I tore through the doors to get out, so Remi started leaving them unlocked, as such doors aren't cheap! *giggles* I mean, I only stay down there as I'm afraid I'll accidentally kyuu things! *grins*

Marisa: Such as my arm, back when I was an ordinary witch?

Flandre: I said I was sorry... I was in a mood to play, and didn't know that humans don't re-graw limbs!
8/12Marisa: *winces, rubbing her own arm unconsciously*

Akyuu: Enough. Kirisame, Margatroid, you may stay. But I have business with the Mistress of this mansion. *looks down at Flandre* Now, would you kindly lead on?

(I will say this. Malice is one of my least favorite ships. How the heck did it happen here?)
8/12(Hehe, good question! XD I'm still not sure if my Marisa will even find love, as having fluids that are like liquid nitrogen puts a damper on things)

Flandre: Alright, big flower lady! *grins happily and leads on*
8/12Akyuu: Now, you two come along, and don't make too big a fuss. If my calculations are correct, this version of Remilia is a bit more... equitable.

Alice: *looks at her suspiciously* You sound like you know what's going on.

Akyuu: I do, don't I? *follows Flandre along into the house*
8/12Meiling: *sits at her post, and proceeds to pretend to maditate in hersleep-like way*
8/12Akyuu: Hrm... *inspects the building as they walk through it* This seems much... nicer. What type of paint did you use in the construction?
8/12Flandre: ...Scarlet paint? Though, even big sis thinks it's too much scarlets... We inherited the place, when I, erm... accidentally kyuued our parents... *looks down, and stop skipping* I didn't even mean to... I was a new-born, with a power that even after 505 years, I still can't contain...
8/12Akyuu: *pats her shoulder gently* You've been given a terrible curse. It is only natural that there is pain along the way. But do not let it drag you down.... Instead, let it be the strength to drive you onward.
8/12Flandre: *smiles* Thank you, Akyuu... *goes back to acting childishly, and skips towards the throne room* Reeemiii, I'm hooome~ I made a friend, too! *grins and pushes open the grand doors*
8/12Akyuu: *follows her in, surrounded by the rest of everyone, and waits to be addressed*
8/12Remilia: Ahh, Flan. It's good that you have returned, as- *sniffs* Ahh, we have a fair bit of company, don't we?
8/12Akyuu: *nods slightly* The lady Scarlet herself? A pleasure to make your acquaintance...
8/12Remilia: Hrm... It's curious to see an Akyuu as large as you...

Marisa: You ain't kiddin', ze!
8/12Akyuu: I am not the Hiede that you are used to. I am Hiede no Akyuu, one of the protectors of the human village. Of which you have been placed upon the edge.
8/12Remilia: Many of these things I am aware of already. The joys of having one of the most powerful magicians as a librarian, and such. Ohh, and... human marisa? You may use my library as you please, but I would like a bit of blood in return.

Marisa: Jeez, already trying for that human magician blood you so love?

Remilia: Well, with your blood being that of a fairy, I've been... craving for it.
8/12Marisa: *eyes widen, and steps just slightly closer to Alice* ...We'll see about that... I'm none to fond of giving up my blood. Terrible things can be done with it.
8/12Remilia: *shrugs* Suit yourself.

Marisa: Such as my non-love specialty! Blood magic is so much fun, ze! It's how I turned my hat into a bag of holding! *grins widely*
8/12Marisa: A what now? That sounds like something rather... mundane. Besides, that type of magic isn't my style. Not flashy enough. But I'm no idiot...
8/12Marisa: It wasn't really intentional, really! It would be my first attempt. Tried to do something... particularly crazy and/or stupid, and ended up with a nice little bottomless bag for a hat. It's particularly nice, now that I'm so tiny, da ze!
8/12Marisa: I've noticed... I think Shanghai is bigger than you, actually.

Shanghai: *floats over, and pokes the other Marisa in the belly* Shanghai~!
8/12Marisa: *shrugs* Well, I'm only a two wing! If I was a four, or six, I'd be a slightly more respectable size, da ze~!
8/12Shanghai: *floats over and begins to move her arms up and down like a doll*

Hourai: *moves over to join her* Hourai~...

Marisa: *notices the small smirk on Alice's face, but doesn't say anything*
8/12Marisa: ...Marisa~
8/12Shanghai: *claps her hands in glee* Shanghai~!
8/12Marisa: Marisa~?
8/12Hourai: Hourai~... *Fetches a matching dress that all of them are wearing, and offers it*
8/12Marisa: *magics it on* Marisa~! *grins*
8/12Alice: ...Well, I didn't tell them to do that...
8/12Marisa: Marisa~?
8/12Alice: I suppose it's not all too bad... she's better mannered now then you are, Marisa.

Marisa: Hey! You say that like it's supposed to be a good thing or something...
8/12Marisa: You're much more fun than the insane Alice, Alice! *Grins*
8/12Alice: Insane... *shakes her head* Something tells me I don't want to know.

Akyuu: Enough of the byplay, I believe. I wish to be having a few words with you, Remilia, in case you don't mind...
8/12Remilia: By all means, have these words. I won't bite. Right now. *chuckles*
8/12Akyuu: Don't be making jokes like that Remilia... You might not like where they lead. But it's about any future... plans you might have, with the proximity of the human village. So, what is it that you are scheming?
8/12Remilia: *shrugs* Nothing at all, as of yet. Maybe some trade between our home, and yours, as we do have to worry about paying the staff, and such. And before you ask, yes, we even pay the fairy maids. Why must everyone ask that...? On our side of the bargain would be plants that time does not effect, primarily eddible ones. They never go beyond the point of ripeness, no matter how long they are stored.
8/12Akyuu: ...Good. I had feared that you would be as your other one is... And if that was the case, I would not be having any conversation with words.
8/12Remilia: Well, it's not as though I don't get an... adaquate suppy of blood packs from Yukari. Quite enough to sustain myself and my two sisters.
8/12Akyuu: Good then. But the one I speak of does not simply take enough blood to feed herself. She... relishes in the kill and the torture.
8/12Remilia: On innocent people? That's horrible... I only do such things when they deserve it, such as if one is a vampire hunter.

Sakuya: *ahem*

Remilia: Yes, yes... Besides Sakuya.
8/12Akyuu: Heh, well, you'll see soon enough, I suspect. If only to prevent our Flandre from being inspired once more to try and break out from her prison.
8/12Remilia: So, would this be all that you needed of me? Or would you like to stay for dinner? *smiles* I'm sure Orange would like to meet you.
8/12Akyuu: I am not particularly hungry myself, and I believe I must be at the ready in case anyone else has any plans on the town *bows her head slightly* Until next time, Miss Scarlet.

Marisa: We don't have to stay, either. I was gonna take Alice back home and fix somethin' so we could-

Alice: *interrupts her, placing her hand over her mouth* What she means to say is that we would be delighted to.
8/12Remilia: Splendid. *hops of the throne which is a bit too big for her* Right this way, you two. Sakuya. Lead those who will be leaving to the door. *walks off*

Marisa: *follows Remilia, still wearing the doll outfit*

Mima: *follows after Marisa*

Rumia: *sticks close to Mima*

Ani: *sticks with Akyuu*
8/12Marisa: *sniffs a bit* I'm surprised that these halls aren't stained with....... The other Scarlet is a tad bit picky... None of this is blood.

Alice: You are right. There is old magic in these halls. But... kinder, I suppose?

Hourai: Hourai~... *tugs on her noose, before pulling on Alice's dress*

Alice: *hands her a notepad*

-

Akyuu: Not too shabby. Although, I suppose the hole in the side of the building ruins the effect?
8/12Sakuya: I have already repaired it.

Ani: That hole was a bit... big...

Sakuya: I can stop time, you know.

Ani: But still... That's a lot of work...

Sakuya: It took twenty hours to repair, not including sleep, but I repaired it.

-

Remilia: Blood is for drinking, not for decoration, my dear. *continues leading through a countless number of halls*

Mima: *speaks to self* So, if there's two of everyone else, where's the second one of me...?

Marisa: Well, I suppose she could still be in hiding, as you were, untill about a year ago, master.
8/12Marisa: Oh, wait, so you're Miss Mima? *blinks* Well, I suppose you do look like her... But she's not in hiding... *chuckles* She's right in plain sight... That is, if anyone looked for her.

Alice: You don't have to be cryptic, Marisa. It isn't like it's a grand secret...

-

Akyuu: Hrm, impressive. Still a good command over time. I wonder... Just how much can you do? And how far do your powers extend? *gives Ani a look, judging her again, before turning back to Sakuya*
8/12Mima: It's the quite brown hair, and shrine maiden outfit that threw you off, right? *chuckles*

Rumia: That is so~! From what I hear, you looked quite different when you were dead!

Mima: Quite different, indeed, Sunshine... Can't help that, though, as Yukari reversed the border of youkai and human, and as an evil spirit is technically a youkai... well, I ended up as a live human for awhile. That is, untill I accidently ended up turning into a black pudding by way of knife to the heart with the intent of returning to being an evil spirit. *shrugs*

Remilia: My, what an interesting past you have... It's no wonder that Patche found you interresting enough to teach the ways of magic.

Mima: Well, actually, she just owed me. Gave her a place to stay, and such.

-

Sakuya: Time itself spreads across all of time, and as such, anything without father Time's blessing is under my power... Very few things recieve this blessing, and most of them are inanimate. Such as the the 163 knives, and 40 kunai on my person. And no, I have no trick the make them lighter. Only smaller, as need be.
8/12Alice: *raises eyebrow* Interesting. I wonder if the laws of reality have changed, as spirits of any kind are not youkai here... That is, if you remained a true spirit. Isn't that right, Marisa?

Marisa: E-heh... *rubs the back of her head* Well, that's different. She's been like this for centuries, so it's not like I've any personal knowledge of that.

-

Akyuu: Manipulation of space, as it is the same dimension of time. But is it a natural power, or is it only due to an instrument of some kind?
8/12Sakuya: A process involving ones soul, I'm afraid. It has also left me just as unending as time itself... My time is like the hands of a clock, and resets constantly... I do not age, but I can still die.

-

Mima: Indeed? My, that IS old... Me, I'm only 143, just as Sunshine is. Though, it's only by coincidence that we were born on the same day.

Rumia: Is that so~?

Mima: What? You disagree?

Rumia: That is so~! I don't see why Yukari's word should be trusted...

Mima: Well, would you rather not have a birthday to celebrate?

Rumia: ...I like getting presents...

Mima: Well, stop questioning that, or you won't have a know date to have it celebrated on, Sunshine! *chuckles*
8/12Akyuu: Interesting. I do wonder if it's the same for our Sakuya, or not. She does seem rather fond of that pocketwatch of hers. I do not know what she is truly.

-

Marisa: Only that young? That is rather young for a group of youkai... Not like she is.

Alice: You might as well tell them, Marisa. Or you'll leave them all wondering.

Marisa: Eh, fine. It's not like anyone comes to pray at her shrine that often, either.
8/12Mima: ...She's a goddess? ...I have one of those as a sister... *sigh* I actually killed her, when she was human. 19 stabs, and the 20th one Yukari redirected to my heart. Technically suicide, so I ended up as an evil spirit. *shrugs*
8/12Marisa: *glances at her, slightly wearily* ...you stabbed her by accident, nineteen times? How do you do that?

Alice: Sort of like the way you accidentally sparked my Goliath doll?
8/12Mima: Accidentally? Hell no! The bitch had it coming! She killed youkai en mass, and for no go reason!

-

Sakuya: Well, I could give you a blessing, as I do with my knives, so that you might see if one can move within her time, for the next time you fight her.
8/12Akyuu: I never have. And no thanks. I prefer to only fight my battles with what I was given. My memory, and my hands. Nothing else. To lean on anything else is to become complacent.

-

Marisa: Oh, too bad she wasn't here. She would have had plenty of chances, then...

Alice: I wonder what she would have done with Hijiri...

Marisa: I'm plenty willing to go nuke the place with a spark, if you'd like me to.

Alice: How do you know what one of those things are?

Marisa: Alice, they're flashy. How could I not?
8/12Rumia: The saint would've been crucified~

Mima: Rumia has a point... Miko was insanely strong... She once tore a mostly closed gap open with her bare hands - don't ask how that's even possible, as even Yukari was surprised by that. Very few back then could really go mono eh mono with her. Yukari, Daiyousei, and Tenma would be the only youkai that could actually beat her without a scratch... *sigh* I'm not sure if hijiri would be able to the Miko of old... Though, these days she's much more... mellow.

-
8/12Sakuya: Very well. Other Akyuu?

Ani: No thank you.
8/12Alice: At least she's a doll now, so we wouldn't have to deal with her any longer. And the grimoire is... safe, so she won't be getting to it. Although, the thought of facing Yukari... *shakes her head* There aren't exactly many who could go toe to toe... At least in an all out battle.

Marisa: Yeah, as strong as I am, Yukari can cheat so much, that the strongest of sparks would be... nothing.
8/12Mima: Even fight? No, I was just listing off those who can beat her... Though, Yukari didn't even have to cheat. She used her fists. She hits quite hard, you know.

Rumia: That is so~!

Marisa: I still can't believe that Cirno beat you, master...

Mima: Hey, as I said, I underestimated her! I didn't expect her to figure out how to spark by watching Usa's spark, even if she was possessed by freaking Daiyousei of all people...
8/12Marisa: Wait, wait, the ice fairy? Sure, she's strong, but I can't see how she could. And since when is the other fairy that big of a powerhouse? She's a little devil, but she's never been that strong, far as I'm concerned...
8/12Akyuu: So, let's see, we know where the Scarlet Devil Mansion landed... Are there any large enough to be considered a threat that might be an immediate concern? I'm not quite that well informed about your dimension's problems as you might imagine.
8/12Sakuya: Alice, if she finds a Marisa, the pixies of old hell, and the pixies of... what was it called... ahh, yes... Mt. Shiro. Ohh, and Yuuka and/or Daiyousei, just in case. She's not evil per se, but she can be quite high on the punishment.

Ani: My bottom was sore for a week, when I accidentally stepped on a flower around her... *sigh* And worse yet, I'm not sure if I disliked that...

-

Rumia: She goes by Yuuka these days. Though she did split in two, after meeting that one fae goddess in Makai...
8/12Akyuu: *slowly shakes her head at Ani* I did not want to know that about you, as that's too close to home. Yuuka has always worked best on a live and let live situation, so I'll just do that. An evil, or insane Alice could potentially do such damage. Although, I'm not quite familiar on these things called pixies. Quite a foreign concept.

-

Marisa: *snorts to herself* Alice, your mother is apparently a fairy~ somewhere else...

Alice: Marisa! Don't do that!
8/12Sakuya: Evil, flesh-eating fae. Well, mostly evil, anyways. We have a few of them as maids.

-

Mima: Alice is related to Shiki? Huh... That's unique...
8/12Alice: It's not that we're actually related. She's the mother to all born in Makai.

Marisa: And yet, she gave you her grimoire.

-

Akyuu. So, just standard youkai. Roger that. I can take care of those pretty easily, assuming they get past the guards.
8/12Ani: Yuuka and Cirno are pixies - well, Cirno was, untill Yukari turned her human, and then she eventually turned back into a fairy, along with being joined by Marisa. However, both of those locations are their prisons.
8/12Akyuu: So they're bound to a particular point in space? Good in the short term, but in the long term... They'll attempt to break out. Perhaps I should go inform Keine of all of this so far. No doubt she's attempting to round up all the town to calm them.
8/12Ani: Well, it's not perfect... Cirno did break out of there, go back in 20 years later, and leave with another 14 of them in tow...
8/12Akyuu: Was this in order to provoke another incident, or similar?
8/12Ani: I don't think so, but after that Youkai mountain errupted several months later, and brought about a jail-break of the fae of summer... They are pretty much free as of right now, but seem to be staying in old hell.
8/12Marisa: That does make me wonder about Alice, though...

Patchouli: Daemons are a form of fae in our world, you know. If our Alice were to be from there, and actually have been BORN there, she's have traces... She was simply an adopted child, I'm sure.
8/12Akyuu: So, they escaped from a mountain fortress, underground, only to go back to old hell, underground...?

-

Marisa: Patchouli! You seem... healthy. And you're out of the library!

Alice: Indeed, that is... strange, indeed. Although, what is stranger is the proliferation of the fairy lineage of youkai within your realm. It would be as if every other creation is one, in some manner.
8/12Patchouli: Daemons evolved from the fae, that's all. I believe that Shinki was one of the last of the arcane fae... quite the ancient being, really... Furthermore, fae are common in general. I'd be more concerned if there were a lack of them, as they are the life-blood of nature...

-

The fae that escaped are the ones that were locked deep within old hell... They were fought back, ran back to old hell, which would be their only habitat in these lands, and have been there ever since...
8/12Marisa: Not to say as such, but there are plenty of fairies about. The only ones that are much of a threat are the three sisters of light... Whaddya call them, Alice? What live in that big tree?

Alice: The fairies of light, Marisa.

Marisa: Ah, yes! Them things. But other than that, not much in the way... Just the Lilys along with Cirno and Daiyousei... Not much more, I can think of.

-

Akyuu: Interesting... I suppose I'll have to take your word for it. By-the-by, where did your future half end up going?
8/12Ani: I have no idea, now that you mention it... Maybe she got distracted by the offer of food...?

Kurumi: *grins and reappears*

-

Patchouli: And you have no imbalance? Strange...
8/12Alice: I am sure that there are other different courts of fae; however, none of them live here. I do believe that part of it is because the great fairy drives out any competitors. Only the Lilys remain.

-

Akyuu: ...You just gapped in.
8/12Kurumi: I did! *grins*

-

Patchouli: Ahh, there's the difference, I suppose... Fae can no longer survive in the outside, in our world. Our Gensoukyo sucked the last magic from the world beyond... I'm sure you've noticed to way the magic in the air has trippled in density. 2/3rds is from ours, and 1/3rd is yours. ...You know, now that I think about it, shouldn't the outside worlds have combinded with eachother? I shall have to scy on that, after we eat...
8/12Marisa: Who knows... If the kappa did it, I'd be worried about having the other me being stuck to my shoulder as a second head.
8/12Akyuu: *narrows her eyes* Since when can vampires control that method of transport?
8/12Kurumi: The same time everyone else could? All it took was a few thousand lessons over the course of about 100 years~ I only know how to make borders of here and there, though...
8/12Akyuu: *sighs, and pinches her nose* I would debate just this and that, but that's your dimension, so I'll not bother. But what sent Ani back so far in time, and for what purpose?
8/12Kurumi: I had to re-record history, after all the records were destroyed *shrug* Plus, the first... I suppose about 30 years of gensoukyo's history was missed. As such, I went back to the day Orange was summoned to grant Yukari's wish. Being able to gap about makes for rather easy investigation, let me tell you...

-

Maria: Yeah... I wouldn't want to be a cold shoulder, ze.
8/12Alice: *groands loudly* Now, that is terrible. Shanghai?

Shanghai: *slaps Marisa, then slaps the other Marisa*

Marisa: Hey, what's that for?!

Alice: To keep you from getting any funny ideas.

-

Akyuu. Alright, I suppose that would make sense. It seems a bit... lazy, to depend on it in such a way. If you can simply open a gap between two places, why not stop there, and just listen in, instead of going there yourself. *shrugs* Don't like magic much, myself. Too bad of a slippery slope.
8/12Marisa: Marisa~...

Remilia: And we're here. *pushes the grand doors open to show a grand dining hall of atleast a 100 chair dining room table*

-

Kurumi: *shrugs* I still am the guardian of the lake of celestial blood... Furthermore, I can't let others know about myself, save for those who already are dictated to find out by way of the course that history once took. I'd call it covert, instead of lazy, really.
8/12Akyuu: If you claim it as such. *glances ahead, towards the middle of town.* Looks like I was right. Keine has been busy...

-

Marisa: *low whistle* Not bad, not bad... You know how much that silver could go for?

Alice: Marisa, now is not the time to... Wait, silver? In a vampire's home?
8/12Remilia: *deadpans* That's werewolves... Now, take whatever seat you like - and leave it behind, as you cannot have any of my antiques. Try and run off with any them, and I'm going to fate you to break your leg on your way out...

Marisa: Aww...

-

Kurumi: Busy indeed...
8/12Alice: No, I distinctly remember it being quite lethal to some of the old youkai. It's why the tips of the spears are all silver, along with Moscow's knife.

Marisa: Who knows. And do you think I'd be that obvious? Shessh, it's like you think that I'm a thief...

-

Akyuu: *clears her throat, before shouting* Keine! Kamishirasawa! Over here!

(Was supposed to be yours, and hard to tell from a distance. Do you care whose it is?)
8/13(No, but it's my turn now, so we're kinda stuck! XD)

Kurumi: *gaps away*

Keine: Little si...! ster? *charges at them much like a bull, before stopping* Why are there... two of- never mind; doesn't matter. Why were you outside of the village at such a time?! I was so worried!

-

Patchouli: For the most part, all that matters is that said weapon has a name, and a legacy, otherwise it might as was well be non-lethal.
8/13Alice: Hrm. That does give me something to think of. But I believe we've spoken enough of death for now...

-

(Sorry bout that...)

Akyuu: That is because only one of us is the one you remember. I am Hiede no Akyuu, and this is my village that you are currently in. I think you for doing your best to calm the residents of the town.
8/13Remilia: Indeed. *claps twice*

*a legion of fairy maids with dishes marches in*

Remilia: I wasn't sure if any of you besides Rumia enjoyed human flesh, so a steak was prepared as a second dish for each of you. If you do not want it, simply say so.

Mima: I'll take one. Brings back memories of when Sunshine first got me to try it, if a bit indirectly.

Rumia: That is so~!

Marisa: You eat people, master?

Mima: Only when presented with an already dead person.
8/13Marisa: *looks at the human...dish, and immediately recoils at the very thought* I... I think I'll pass, thank youverymuch Remilia.

Alice: *also turns her head away* I shall pass as well...

Marisa: *glances at Alice, wondering whether this was still a good idea*

Alice: *shoots her a look that says it was her own fault for getting them in it*
8/13Marisa: I guess I'll try one... *shrugs* If master eats it, it must be good, right...?

Patchouli: As per usual, I pass on that offer.

-

Keine: *picks up the Ani in a big hug, before setting her down* Really? Never heard that one before from anyone but my sister...
8/13Akyuu: Perhaps you should explain, Ani, since coming from your mouth, it might be more believable. *begins scanning over the crowd*

-

Shanghai: *offers up the fork to Alice, beaming with joy at her accomplishment* Shanghai~!
8/13Keine: The first name I gave you, huh...? *smiles* You still like that one that much...?

Ani: *nods with a smile on her lips* That's because you believed me, when I told you who I was! Anyways, as there's two of myself, we decided to call me Ani, and have her retain the name Akyuu.

-

Remilia: Ohh, and do you mind if the maids sit among us? It's far too quiet when they do not, if you ask me.
8/13Akyuu: It was that, or we could have confused everyone with how we speak. And even if it would amuse me, it is not the time. *shakes her head, not finding what she was searching for* But enough. Are these your villagers, Keine, or are they the ones from mine?

-

Alice: No problems will be had from me. It is your domicile, after all. Far be it from me to impose.
8/13Remilia: Thank you, Alice. You're much more pleasent than the one I know. Always likes to accuses me of bedding Marisa...

Marisa: *sigh* She does that to everyone, just about.

Remiling: *claps thrice, and another 90 maids come in quite calmly, for fae. All of them hold a dish of food for themselfs*
8/13Keine: I... think it's both, actually... That, or a great number of twins have appeared.
8/13Marisa: *snickers* Sounds like you've got a thing for my other half, doesn't it? Sure you don't want to tell me anything?

Alice: *ears ridden* Nothing at all.

-

Akyuu: That it would. But where is the schoolmarm, when you need her... *spots a scuffle about to break out* Oh, this will be fun. Shall I, or do you want to do the honors?
8/13Keine: *already running at the fight, at that point* Hey... HEY! Cut that out! *half of them cower, but the other half don't quite know why one fears Keine* Okay, that does it! *makes an example, by pulling one of them into a light headbutt, knocking him out in a single blow* *The rest of them join the ones that were already cowering* There, all better.

Ani: *sighs* Why must she always solve problems by using her head...?
8/13Akyuu: Because when all you have is a hammer... *shakes head* Enough. *loudly shouts over the crowd* Calm down, everyone! Do not be fighting those oyu may consider to be your twin. They are not evil... At least not for the fact that they exist. There has been no sorcery, or anything similar.
8/13*My half of crowd doesn't really seem to be be listening at all*

-

Mima: Interresting...

Marisa: Ehh? What is, master...?

Mima: *chuckles*
8/13Alice: ...*sigh* That can't be good.

-

Akyuu: *rolls her eyes, and walks up to those who are cooperating* Trust me on this. I have gone out of my way to ensure that the most apparent threats are nonexistant. The Scarlets are not planning an attack upon the town. And if someone could kindly show me the way to the other Kamishirasawa, I'd appreciate it.
8/13*One of the children from my side tugs on her sleeve, to quietly say that he knows*
8/13Marisa: *confused, but starts eating, anyways*
8/13Marisa: So, how long do you think it will take them to get the pitchforks out?

-

Akyuu: *leans down to pat him on the head* go on, take me to her.
8/13Child: *nods, and jogs off in a direction*

-

Rumia: Who?

Marisa: Heeey, human-flesh is actually pretty good! ...I see why so many youkai like it, now...
8/13Alice: *sighs to herself* Nothing, Rumia. *shoots Marisa a glance* Do you really want to give them a reason to take out half a village?

Marisa: *eyes her counterpart darkly* ...Good point. I'd hate for him to have to go through that...

-

Akyuu: *follows him through the crowds*
8/13Patchouli: So your human village is so against human-flesh, even from the outside world? *chuckles*
8/13Marisa: We're humans... Would you expect them to be alright with the idea?
8/13Rumia: I've eaten pleanty of youkai~

Remilia: *shrugs* Yukari would be the one that gives them to us. Most places around Gensoukyo that house a great number of youkai get a good bit every day. Such as the Myoren Temple.

-

(The moons rays are quite strong in my world, so use that however you wish. They allow my Keine to gain glowing red eyes just by getting angry, and allows her to transform whenever she needs to, even if it's not a full one. Even in the day.)

Ani: *follows after*

Child: *points to a house, and stops running*
8/13(G'night)
8/13Alice: Pardon me if I don't sound enthused... But that's dozens of people, every day. *shivers again* Of course, she can keep it quiet, but someone could notice.

-

Akyuu: Thank you, little one. *walks over to the house, before pushing open the door, revealing the sight of a few men shouting at a woman sitting calmly by the side.*

Keine: I hate to interrupt you gentlement, but we have some visitors. *waves Akyuu and all in* Do come in. We were just discussing who is in charge of the village, now that there are two here.
8/13(Night)
8/13Remilia: *shrugs once more* She does say that she gets them from some row where people die, or something.

Patchouli: Death row. A place where criminals are sent to die as paracites on the world. Yukari takes them from there to lessen their burden on the world.

Remilia: Right. That.

-

Kurumi: *gaps back in*

Ani: ...And shouting is supposed to help, how...?

Village Elder: Shut the hell up!

Ani: No thank you, I'm fine.

VE: What did you say?! Talkin' back to your elders now, ehh? *takes a swing at her*

Ani: *makes use of what she learned, and uses his momentum against him, what little there is*
8/13Alice: Still, even the condemned... *shakes her head* I'll not get into this discussion, not now. I'll not sway you, that much is to be seen.

-

Akyuu: Now, Ani, I would prefer it if we don't solve this with violence. Avoid, but do not strike back. After all, I can believe that we will solve this with words. Is that not right, chief?

Village Chief: That, I believe we can. Who is this that believe he can act in such a manner? Coming into our town, and attempting to assault the residents?
8/13Ani: He's the village elder, and closest thing we have to a leader... *sighs*

VE: *under breath* Bitch... *rubs arm*

-

*meal continues on*
8/13Marisa: *omnomnom*

-

VC: Indeed. Quite a leader, to be slapping young girls. How in the world could such a miserable pile of... 'secrets' be chosen?
8/13VE: 'Cause it's the way my pappy, and my pappy's pappy did it! Oldest gets the role'a leader!

Ani: And because they don't trust myself... If not for meeting Akyuu, I'd still be a coward. However, I do believe that I would be a more fitting leader for my village of chock full of horrible people... Next to none of them are fit for the role.

VE: Say what?! I've worked too hard to be cast aside like some sort of garbage!

Ani: Doing?

VE: Ehh?

Ani: What is it, exactly, that you have been working hard on?

Ve: W-well... Uhh...

Kurumi: I do think you've lost, gramps~ Though, really, she has a point... The humans of her world tend to work as a team to gang up on and rape weak youkai, abusing the treaty that stops the youkai from eating them. Yukari was thiiiis close to letting Rumia do as she pleases with them.

-

Remila: *giggles at the silly looking cuteness of your Marisa eating*
8/13Alice: *slaps Marisa with her wooden hand* Eat correctly.

-

VC: I see... While the eldest typically have the role, we do choose our leaders. And you actuallyl managed to have a treaty to do such a thing with the youkai? And... *shakes head* You must understand how hard that is to believe. If any human attempted such a thing, they'll be torn i two.

Akyuu: Sadly, it is true. I have a few theories as to the reasons, such as that the village well of the time had mercury poisoning, among other things.

VC: Well, what do you suggest that we do?

Akyuu: Ani? Any suggestions, before mine?
8/13Ani: Well, as you said earlier, Akyuu... It'd be easy to keep sneaking out behind my back... The only thing I can particularly think of is to institute a law forbidding it, and perhaps let the Keine of my village hold a re-education class... She's very good at keeping people listening, even if she might damage their skull in the process... *sigh*

-

Remilia: Ohh, don't you worry, Alice. I find it to be the most delightful of shows...

Marisa: That's kinda creepy, ze...
8/13VC: No, I've got a better idea. Let them try. There's a reason that we do not mess with the youkai of our world. The weakest among them can tear a man to pieces.

Akyuu: Or, we could have the Hakurei come down here, along with the goddess. It might be better for them to realize the situation they are in.

-

Marisa: *immediately stops, looking up* Hwah? What do you mean by that?
8/13Remilia: You are very cute when you eat. *chuckles*

-

Ani: As can most of our youkai... I vote for Akyuu's choice, even if I'm not sure how Reimu would really help... Then again, it helps that the Reimu of my world is a mostly harmless youkai, who just wants donations in exchange for all the things she does free of charge... *shrugs*

Kurumi: To sum her up with the words "donations, please." would be accurate enough
8/13Akyuu: Oh, I'm quite sure that she would be interested. She, after all, is the one that goes out of her way to keep the peace. To hear that there are some who are acting up... She might get mad.

VC: Not to mention that the goddess of her shrine is quite vengeful, if she is in the mood. Still, though, if these actions are true... 'elder', I can hardly trust you to stay in the village. I will not do anything about any previous crimes, as those were under your land. But now, we are under our jurisdiction, since you are in our town. Understood?

-

Marisa: ...*This room...* *sniffs about, while glancing worridly at Alice*
8/13VE: Grr... Fine.

-

Marisa: What, you aren't enjoying more fuel? Ahh, love, and its many forms... Some creepy, and some pure... Though, Remilia is just a semi-harmless pervert, so long as you don't hurt Flan. I do wish that I could find a pure source... *sigh* The Alice of my world gives me more than enough of the stuff, but... well.. she's scary! She made a damn life-sized doll of me, and... did things to it...
8/13Akyuu: Just like that? You sure are weak willed... and the only way to make yourself feel superior is to make others even weaker than yourself.

-

Marisa: ...Now, that is creepy. Obsessive love, or something else? There's a difference between love and lust, among other things. A veritable compendium of different types of emotions that exist everywhere. But the baser it is, the less effective that it powers me.

Alice: *blinks, before gazing at Marisa* Wait, do you mean that you have your spells powered...

Marisa: *completely loses all expression, face turning white*
8/13Marisa: *Doesn't notice that the marisa of your world keeps it a secret* She threatens to kill anyone that she sees me with, thinking that they've stolen my heart... *shakes head*

Alice: *in the distance* Marisaaaaaaa~! Where are yoooou~!

Marisa: *goes pale, as well*

-

Ani: Well, even the weakest of youkai from my world are as strong as a rather muscular man, physically...
8/13Akyuu: Then, I ask, why do they allow such things to happen?

-

Alice: *raises her eyebrows* I do have to wonder what she might be like in order to get such a reaction. And I don't know if I should be encouraged by that reaction, or worried.
8/13Ani: Because I was a coward... I also didn't know it was anywhere near as bad as it was, as I tend to be forced to keep my distance from the rest of the village.

-

Marisa: We three need to hide! She'll flip if she sees another of herself, and go into just about a frenzy if she sees just one Marisa... I can only imagine if she sees two!
8/13Akyuu: No, I mean why did the youkai allow it, if they could tear a man a new one.

-

Alice: Why hide? I'd like to meet her, get to know her myself. Maybe I could educate her myself...
8/13Marisa: *Sprints off, away from the quickly approaching footsteps*

-

Kurumi: Blame the Mima's sister, Miko... She forced such a treaty. Yukari upholds it only because she had a crush on the girl, untill Mima killed her. Miko was... a bit of a monster, with the numbers of youkai she killed... She's now the goddess that upholds the barrier, and has mellowed out a fair bit, but... I still wouldn't trust her. She's Reimu's father.
8/13Alice: Now, Marisa, don't be getting any ideas. You'll be glad to just sit here, since you dragged us in here, yes?

-

Akyuu: Such a deal is not intelligent, in the long run. It would only breed resentment. It would be as if they were walking up to the dragon, and kicking it on a dare.
8/13Kurumi: Seeing as the villages elder was one of the smarter ones... Keine's classes only have five grades for a reason. And even then, most villagers untill recently have been drop-outs, after repeating grades several times, and finally reaching a working age. *sighs*

-

Alice: *a swarm of dolls pours through the door, followed by Alice* Marisa?! I know I smelled yo- Maris- Me?! Marisa's cheating on me with me! This is a new one! Attack me! *gets stabbed a few times by dolls, while most are confused by the orders*

Remilia: And now the entertainment has arrived...
8/13Akyuu: *shakes her head* There are plenty of reasons for not educating one's self. The problem is not that they do not learn; instead, it is that they have no morals on which to guide their actions. There is no sense of right from wrong.

-

Marisa: *snickers* Well, that is one I've never quite heard. So, what are you going to do about this?

Alice: Simple: I'm going to have a nice, 'long' talk with our friend. Shanghai, Hourai, be a dear and restrain her, will you? Moscow, do take care of all of the little doll friends, will ya?

Moscow: *nods, before smiling to herself and taking off towards the dolls*

(Oh, this is gonna be fun... Btw, if you're wondering what's taking so long... Busy killing evil Dai's with a Cirno named Usagi. XD)
8/13(XD What game?)

Alice: *bleeding a great deal* Marisa! Come, lick my wounds for me! After that, we can go make children! ...Wait, I'm still alive! Get me! *gets stabbed by confused dolls once more*

-

Kurumi: True. But how could that be fixed by being punished by Reimu?
8/13(Touhoumon: Cirno Version XD. She was my starter. I would use PatchCon, but I can't get it to run...)

Moscow: *sighs and smacks the dolls, making sure that they are silent*

Shanghai: *shakes head and runs over to the two*

Hourai: *conjures a noose out of nowhere and ties up her hands* Hourai~...

-

Akyuu: She is the arbiter of balance, and keeps the peace. They are upsetting the balance, so that makes them guilty of committing an... incident.
8/13Alice: Now is not time for fun, Hourai! I must destroy myself! *gets stabbed again*

-

Ani: What a long incident... Lasting over 120 years, and such.
8/13Alice: Relax, Alice, I'm not here to steal Marisa away from you... I just want to talk to you.

-

VC: Oh, like I said, he didn't do anything here. But if anything does happen...
8/13Alice: That's what they all say! And then they go and t-touch her sk-skin! Or l-look at her! It's obvious that they love her stench!

Remilia: My, my, my, my... Maybe I should give Marisa a nice, long, looking. *glances at Marisa for a split second*

Alice: Nooooo! You'll get her pregnant!
8/13Alice: ...Dammit, there are yukkuri that aren't this dumb... *raises up her doll hand to grasp Alice's face* LISTEN. This is not your Marisa, and we will talk. Whether you are going to be comfortable in the meantime is one thing that you will choose.

Marisa: *glances worriedly at Remilia once again, patting her stomach to make sure it isn't true*
8/13Remilia: *chuckles and says under her breath* So cute...

Alice: *nose gushes at the sight of Marisa being cute, and passes out from blood-loss*
8/13Alice: ...Oh dear. I might have to do some reprogramming from her... *kneels down, placing the wooden hand on her forehead* Unstable, delusional... Schizophrenic...? *turns towards Patchouli* Have her dolls been creating a feedback loop and secondary personalities?
8/13Patchouli: She acted as though they had free will, and yet none of them were alive at all. Before Marisa tried persuing a relationship with her, she was rather... cold. Detatched. Talked mostly to her dolls... Ohh, and her form is an illusion. *banishes it, revealing a 10 year old girl*
8/13Alice: Oh, this... This is familiar. *cradles the girl in her arms* I remember being like this... So disillusioned with the world... *glances at her hand* Perhaps I still am. But what is this about Marisa actively pursuing a relationship? It sounds like that girl has morals whatsoever, going about as freely as the wind.
8/13Alice: *one of the dolls prods her with a lance* Don't... speak badly... of Marisa... *glares weakly*
8/13Alice: *reaches down with one hand, picking the doll up carefully* I speak badly of this one all the time. Because she deserves it. But tell me... what has Marisa done for you?
8/13She... She was always nice to me... Even if it was mostly to power those spells of hers... It felt nice. After Makai was sealed, I wasn't... wasn't sure what to do... but Marisa let me stay with her... untill I finished my house...
8/13Alice: *pats the doll's hand* Alice, trust me... That wasn't love. Not the way that you think it was. But tell me, what happened after your house was finished?
8/13Alice: I... left. I had done as I had to, and so I... left... Then, many years later, we met once more, as though it were fate... I had gotten a bit better at illusions, and so made myself bigger... She didn't recognise me. It was as I planned, and yet... it hurt a bit...
8/13Alice: *rubs the hand of the girl* You tried to make yourself grow up... But in doing so, you created a lie. A lie that was... unneeded. HAve you tried showing her who you really are, or has she changed too much?
8/13Alice: She's... become a better person in recent years... Plus, it's not like I'll ever... grow up. I'm mama's only true... child. The youngest remaining... arcane fae...
8/13Alice: *mouths to herself: better?* *shakes out her head* What is it you want from her, Alice? Tell me, why do you pursue her?
8/13Alice: Because she... she said she loves me.
8/13Alice: But Alice, tell me. Does she, or is it something that she says?
8/13But... but she said... she... *sniff* She...
8/13Alice: *pulls her closer* Shh, there there. I can't really say whether she does or not... But what does your brain tell you? *sighs, and hugs her and the doll closely* What does your heart say that she thinks?
8/13I... I... *tears up* But... but without her, I'll... I-I'll be all alone again...
8/13Alice: Ssssh... *wipes tear from her eye* Do you think I'm going to leave you all alone, now? There's two of us, now. And we can work together... can't we? After all, who better to work on our dolls with? *tries to give her a small smile*

Moscow: *climbs on top of other Alice's lap, and walks over to her face* M-m-m m m *clenches her fists and her eyes, frustrated with herself* M... M-m... Mos...cow..! Moscow~!
8/13Alice: *gently pats the head of the doll* ...Really?
8/13Alice: Of course, I will! And.. maybe if she does, she'll actually come and show it.

Marisa: *subtly clears her throat*

Alice: *shoots her a very sharp look*
8/13Alice: *a single pair of purple wings with red cracks begin to manifest* *smiles* Yeah...

(you know, untill this, Alice wasn't related to Shinki at all! XD This gave me the idea, really...)
8/13(Well, glad to inspire! although, I use the term loosely for my Alice, but I could see that, as she is the one with whom she seems closest. With the exception of Yumeko, at least)

Alice: *gasps slightly* Well, what do you know... *shakes her head and turns back towards Remilia* I am sorry for the interruption, but I believe I must be going. There are some things I must be... attending to. And... Marisa? *gives her another sharp look* You are coming too.

Marisa: *winces*
8/13(Though, it's really starting to get fae heavy in my world! XD Though, I do like to give people reasonable secrets...)

Remilia: Yes, yes... Farewell. I hope you visit again soon. *has been eating that whole time*

Alice: Ehh? Where are we going...?
8/13Alice: Thank you Remilia. It has been lovely eating here. *stands up, lifting up Alice in her arms* As for you... I'm taking you home, so that you know where it is, at the least. Perhaps you can show me yours, afterwords?

Marisa: Well, I don't need to come along for that-

Alice: Did I say you get a say with this? *eyes flash red as they look at her*

(I've noticed. :P Everyone seems to be secretly a fae... XD)
8/13(Not really secretly, but more like it's never really come up. Save for alice, that is.)

Alice: *all of the dolls rise from the ground* ...Yeah. I'd like that. *smiles*
8/13Moscow: *points forward and away* Moscow~!

Alice: And you even got my littlest to finally talk. So I must thank you for that. *begins to fly away, her little self in her arms*
8/13*the army of dolls follows close behind, while Alice snuggles in*
8/13Marisa: *not wanting to risk the wrath of the girl, he follows behind her. Behind, Shanghai is pounding her lance in her hand like a nightstick, wearing a police hat she found somewhere*

Alice: *flies out over the town and towards the forest, taking in the landscape* Oh, what an odd world we live in now... Nothing seems to be right...
8/13Alice: Yeah... A lot of things are in odd positions, too...

-

Little Daiyousei: *happily kicks her feet in the chilly waters of misty lake*
8/13Lunasa: Ah, some peace and quiet... A nice rock on the lakeside to practice my music...

-

Alice: We'll hear about it soon enough. Let's get back to home. *comes back to her house, still in disrepair after the attack from Hijiri*
8/13Alice: A-ahh, it's very... quaint...?
8/13Alice: It's fine... I was attacked... Well, I don't know when it was. But they stole the grimoire from me... I've not had it back twelve hours yet. I'm lucky to repair as much as I have. *sets onto the ground, letting little Alice onto the ground*

Marisa: *hovers behind the two, watching warily*
8/13Alice: Well, let's get to repairing then! *every of the hundreds of dolls took out a construction hat, and put it on, followed by taking out various tools*
8/13Alice: *shakes her head* I can see where quantity would be a good thing. *raises her hands and all of her dolls shot forth from inside and outside, bringing supplies. It doesn't take long for the door to be back on its hinges, shining after a new coat of paint.*

Marisa: *Scratches the back of her head* So, ummm... What do you need me for?
8/13Alice: *moves her hands like a conductor, to guide her little magical extensions* Well, atleast your dolls seem able to think...

-

lil Dai: Where is everyone...?
8/13Alice: Yes, I can. Although, it is not quite such a simple thing... I do not honestly know how sentient they are. And I wasn't aware that little Moscow was even awake... *said doll is carrying out a shutter, screwing it to the side of the house*

-

Lunasa: *almost pulls the bow across, before screeching to a halt* ...What was that?
8/13lil Dai: *gazes sadly at her reflection in the water*

-

Yuuka: ...The garden has gotten a bit bigger, hasn't it...?

-

Alice: *continues waving her hands about* Really...? Me, I slip a bit of my soul into each, so I doubt I'd not notice... Though, I guess your soul is more of a single piece...
8/13Alice: It takes more than a soul to move a doll, Alice... *puts her hand on her shoulder, before looking down, revealing her wooden hand* Trust me... I know.

-

Lunasa: *fumes slightly, before taking off to give whoever it was a piece of her mind*
8/13lil Dai: I wonder when they'll be back... *sigh*

-

Alice: Does it...? All I really do is gave them a part of my soul, and give them orders... *sigh*
8/13Alice: At least, not in this world... I was turned into a doll myself. I had my soul, but I wasn't alive...

-

Lunasa: *floats down in front of the noisy fairy. At least in her opinion*
8/13lil Dai: *sighs and kicks her feet a bit, making a few loud noises of splashing* *Doesn't notice Lunasa*

-

Alice: Really? That must be horrible...
8/13Alice: It was... So bad. To watch the world through glass eyes, and not be able to do anything... *behind her, the dolls finish up the exterior*

Marisa: *flies over, placing her hand on the girl's shoulder, squeezing gently*

-

Lunasa: *lifts up the girls chin with the tip of her bow* What seems to be your problem?
8/13Alice: *Gives her a hug around the waist* I hope it's not like that for my dolls, but I hope that you get better, Alice...

-

A-ahh! Ahh... W-well, umm... my friends aren't showing up... We always meet at Cirno's house, but not a single one has shown up... *sighs*
8/13Alice: I don't mind... It's only the one hand... And perhaps I need the reminder... *hugs her back* ...But come on in. I think they're almost done.

-

Lunasa: I see. So, you decided to sit around here making noise instead of going to look for them?
8/13Well, every time I've looked for them in the past, they end up arriving behind my back, wondering where I am! As such, I'd rather just... wait...

-

Alice: I still hope that you get better, eheh~ *kisses the wooden hand*
8/13Alice: *blushes nicely* Thank you, dear. *pats her gently* Now come. I'll have Shanghai put on a pot... *shoots Marisa a glare* And we can have that nice talk*

Marisa: *freezes, and gulps*

-

Lunasa: *sighs* Thing is, I'm trying to practice, which takes complete silence. So, if you could skedaddle on off... *I bet this is the cretin's fault...*
8/13It'll only get noisier when the others arive... It'd make more sense for the reverse to be what is done... Wouldn't it be quieter up high in the sky?

-

Alice: Okay! *grins happily*
8/13Lunasa: It would, but I like playing by the lake for a reason... Plus, with all of those vortexes, I'm worried about flying that high.

-

Alice: *pulls her inside, settling her at the dining table, before busying herself by finding her teaset, miraculously intact. Setting it down on the the table, she frogmarches Marisa over to a chair, and sets her down* Alright, Marisa. What was your copy talking about?

Marisa: *Rubs the back of her neck* E-heh... what exactly?
8/13Alice: *has one of her dolls watch from around the corner, being her eyes and ears*

-

And yet I live here. Do you?
8/13Lunasa: *points over to the manor on the edge of the shore, just beyond the trees* Pretty close by. *sighs* But I see where this is going. Do you need me to help you find your friends?

-

Alice: The other one said that her magic was powered by the love other people have for her. You became scared at that statement. What is it that you do.

Marisa: Oh, that... *winces* Well, my love spells work on the same principle. The love someone has for me powers all of them in general, and the ones I steal from them in particular.

Alice: *narrows her eyes* And is that why you go out of your way...?
8/13N-no! I don't want to impose...

-

*watches intently*
8/13Marisa: Sometimes? At first? Hell, I don't know anymore... *shakes her head* I remember how it used to be simple. Just be nice, infuriating, but still nice enough that people would like you. Roguish charms, and all that, aye? But... I'd like to think there'd be soemthing more than that... Something more than that feeling I tried to create.

Alice: ..... *watches her blankly*

Marisa: *starting to realize it was not helping, and trying to blabber off* But Alice... I never knew how close you were, last night even. You were... were as good as dead. I don't know how I'd react, ify ou actually keeled over and... And died...

-

Lunasa: *shrugs* Fine. If you don't want me to, no use making you have my help. I'll just have to play me a nice song... good and depressing. *begins to float away*
8/14Yuuka: *from how she knows everything Dai knows, and vice versa* Hrm... music, huh? I suppose I'll have to make me way over~ *begins to stroll towards the lake*

-

Okay...?

-

Alice: *watches*
8/14Lunasa: *begins to play* Nice and depressing... Shostakovich, symphony number five... That will do.

-

Alice: Marisa... *closes her eyes, tears forming* Just... just go.

Marisa: Alice-

Alice: I know. Just go, though. I don't think I want to look at you, right now. Much less speak.

Marisa: *at that, quietly slips out of the room, giving Alice one last, long look.*
8/14Alice: ... *sends the same doll to follow Marisa, and maybe try and cheer her up*

-

*watches her, quietly*

-

Yuuka: *Happily strolls through the suzuran, being sure not to harm any*
8/14Alice: *shakes her head, before wiping the tears from her face and heading back towards the room*

Shanghai: *pours the tea quietly as she enters, doing her job as best she can*

-

Lunasa: *a small smile finally graces her face as dreadful notes come off her violin, as a evil laugh may do*
8/14Yuuka: *waves hello to Medicine* Hello, there~

-

*tears up slightly, and smiles bitterly*

-

Alice: It's okay. You don't have to hide it. None of you do, and if you need a hug, I have 500 of those I can give at once.
8/14Alice: I think I could do with one right now... *sighs*

-

Marisa: Dammit... I screwed up! Why do I care? Mima taught me not to care, except when I should... But, why does this bother me, so... *sighs, and sits on a tall tree branch, staring at the sky* Why do I want to fix this so bad?

-

Lunasa: *descends into the haunting refrain, as soldiers fight their way across a bitter landscape, dying for every inch they take.*
8/14*the tiny doll places a hand on Marisa's shoulder to try and comfort her a bit*

-

Yuuka: *coughs up poisonous gas and continues on*

-

Dai: *Wipes tears from her eyes*
8/14Marisa: *looks back at the doll, not recognizing it* You're... one of hers, aren't you? Which means she can hear me... *sighs* Please, tell Alice, I'm sorry... And that I hope I haven't ruined... whatever we had.

-

Lunsasa:*slows further into the durge, as the graves of a statistic are dug and buried, no great leader there to enshrine them in death*
8/14Yuuka: *Grins at that part of the song*

Dai: *Isn't particularly effected by that part, as it's particularly hard to kill a fae*

-

Alice: *plays the message through one of her dolls*

Doll: *puts on a Marisa hat* "Please, tell Alice, I'm sorry... And that I hope I haven't ruined... whatever we had."
8/14Alice: *doesn't say anything, dropping her head in her arms* I can't say anything... Not yet. I have to think; we both do. *glances up at Alice* What do you think, though?

-

Lunasa: *finally reaches the grim end, a sa army marches along, endless in length, and without number. Each soldier's face is blank; all the same, no individual at all*
8/14Yuuka: *imagines how many one could get in a single spark*

dai: *tears up heavily, as it reminds her of the war*

-

Alice: Honestly? Nobody is right in their actions. However, I can easily see why she didn't tell you... Especially with how you just proved that point, by throwing her out. That doesn't really help anyone, and only hurts her, and perhaps yourself.

-

Doll: *click* "I can't say anything... Not yet. I have to think; we both do"
8/14Alice: Perhaps, but she has to know that it wasn't right... And I can't help but feel... betrayed. *sighs* At least she was honestly cocncerned; but now, there ill always be that doubt...

-

Lunasa: *finally lets it die on a dimenished chord*

-

Marisa: I don't deserve anything else, but I had hoped... *sighs, and begins to trudge back home* another nighting eating crusts...
8/14Alice: You know, if she's like my... the Marisa from my world, she'd be a great deal weaker without it. *doll clicks* "I don't deserve anything else, but I had hoped..."

-

Yuuka: Aww, over so soon...?

Dai: *sniff* H-hey, Yuuka... *rubs eyes*
8/14Lunasa: *freezes momentarily, before looking down* Ah, Kazami... *narrows eyes* Or not. Not the same, at least. What are you doing here?

-

Alice: that I would forgive her that much... *sigh* Maybe tomorrow... I just want to sleep some. Are you staying, or you gonna head back to your home?
8/14Alice: I'll stay the night, if you don't mind. I'm... actually not sure where my home ended up... Normally it would be in this spot, so it's obviously not where I left it...

-

Yuuka: Why, I'm just saying hello, and coming to see my twin, of sorts~ *grins*

-

Doll: *click* "*sigh* Maybe tomorrow... I just want to sleep some."
8/14Marisa: *shooes the doll away* Alright, I got it... just come fin dme tomorrow, ok? Be nice and cone with, then...

-

Alice: *smiles weakly* That's fine... You want to sleep up here, or down in the workshops? It' a bit crazy down there, though.

-

...I didn't know you had a sister, youkai.
8/14Dai: Only in a sense... you could also say we are one in the same. *shrugs*

-

Doll: *shakes head no, and crawls into the pocket of Marisa's apron*

-

Alice: I-if you don't mind, umm... could I sleep with you...? I don't particularly like being alone...
8/14Marisa: *rolls her eyes* Ok, if that's how you're gonna be... *begins to work on dinner, doll swinging about inside*

-

Alice:Sure; just comewith me. I'll show you the rest later. *offers her a hand*

-

Ah... I'd say that I'd see, but I don't. *shrugs* not my problem. Just the cretin's.
8/14Alice: *nods happily* Thank you. You... remind me of mama, you know...

-

Yuuka: A demonstration is in order~

Dai: Fiiine... *walks into, and melds into Yuuka*

Yuuka: *a pair of wings appears on her back, as though they were always there*
8/14Alice: She was my mother as well... at least, in a general sense. *sigh* She was the mother of all of Makai. *takes Alice's hand and leads her up, to a large room with a decent sized bed, with small shelves on the walls that had bedding too**

-

Lunasa: *blinks* impressive, I will admit. I've seen ghosts do stuff like that before, but never flesh and blood.
8/14Alice: Well, I have no idea how yours acts... She could have been rather night and day compared to mine, for all I know... Mine created the life of makai, and birthed myself. No idea where she got enough fairy dust for me, though...

-

Yuuka: Ohh, it gets more impressive. *the wings split appart into nine more pairs*
8/14Alice: Understandable... But fairy dust? Why would that be- Oh, bother, didn't even think. *rummages around in a dresser* I've got a nightgown here. A bit large, yes, but it should do for you.
8/14Alice: Ohh, well, where I'm from, one must kill a fae to get a pinch of dust... It takes 1000 pinches to birth a fae, otherwise it's a random occurance. She may have killed herself 1000 times to make me...
8/14Alice: ...If she did, then she truly must have wanted you... *puts on her own nightgown, before laying in bed* I can imagine anyone wanting to do such a thing.
8/14Alice: She may have been the last arcane fae, so it would make sense that she would wish to make another...
8/14Alice: There's a bit of romance to it, I suppose. That's why I think of it that way. *pats the bed* Are you coming?
8/14Alice: Ahh! Right! *quickly puts on the gown, and slowly climbs on bed, having the slightest of trouble*
8/14Alice: *giggles softly before hooking her arms under the girl's shoulders, lifting her up onto the bed next to her* There you go. *pats her head gently* Now, let's go to bed. Tomorrow will be an interesting day, I imagine.
8/14Alice: *smiles gently* Thank you... *snuggles in beside the girl*
8/14Alice: *wraps her arm about her, pulling her close* You're welcome. Good night, Alice. *as she says it, all of her other dolls climb into their beds on the shelves*
8/14Alice: *All of her dolls sit on any available surfaces around the house, just about carpeting the floors, where they wait for their master to wake back up*
8/14*night passes quickly, Alice drooling slightly as she cuddles the young version of herself as if it were a new doll*
8/14*Smiles happily in her sleep, and suckles at Alice's teat due to a happy dream of her mother*
8/14(Of course... XD)

*wakes up, feeling an odd, pleasant suction*
8/14*Sucks gently, getting none of what he dream was aiming her to*
8/14*slowly opens up her eyes, gazing wearily down at the girl trying to suck through her clothes* ...Alice...?
8/14Mama... *suckles more*
8/14Alice: *eyes tear slightly as she pulls the girl to her, a soft smile coming to her face* ...Shanghai? *gives the doll a look*

Shanghai: *stretches out from bed, before floating from the room*
8/14One doll: *Chuckles internally*

Alice: *Suckles more at the clothed breast*
8/14Shanghai: *floats back, before handing her a bottle*

Alice: *blushes, but takes it from her* ...She is a bit old for this, but maybe once... *places the bottle next to her little self's mouth*
8/14Doll: *Watches with a smile*

Alice: *suckes softly at first, before sucking with more force when she actually draws fluid*
8/14*gets an oddly warm feeling while watching her suck the milk out, and begins to rub her back gently*
8/14Doll: *sighs happily at the sight*

Alice: *continues to suckle happily*
8/14Alice: *pats her back as the bottle begins to drain of all the milk*
8/14*burps*
8/14*giggles and sighs, taking the bottle away* Ok, Alice, time to wake up, and face the world... *smiles down at her* My precious...
8/14Doll: *goes lifeless*

Alice: *eyes slightly flutter open* Ehh...?
8/14*eyes dart over the doll, before humming as she thinks* Good morning there, little one. I see you've already had your meal... Enjoy it?
8/14...Ehh...? *looks at with cute, half asleep eyes*
8/14*shakes her head* Never mind.... *pats the top of her head gently* You sleep well?
8/14Yeah! *Smiles brightly, rubbing the sleep from her eyes* I haven't slept that well since I last slept over at Marisa's, 15 years ago, about...
8/14*a frown flicks across her face before she banishes it* That is good. I had hoped that you would enjoy it. How are your dolls feeling this morning?
8/14*500 strings of silver flow from her body, 499 of them connecting to the dolls that are cluttering the house, while the 500th goes out the window, homing in on Marisa's apron* I'm not in pain, so they've suffered no damage. *Smiles*
8/14*nods gently* Indeed, that is good... *lightly traces one of the strings in the air* So, you still use these?
8/14*All but one of them finally leave her body, and finish wriggling their way into the lifeless bodies of her dolls* There's some other way? *Each doll gets up, and flutters the little wings that are once more behind them, giving them flight*
8/14I suppose you might call it that... Eventually, the closer you come to your dolls, the less you need the string. Until, eventually, you don't need it at all. *smiles at her* But I suppose you want to see where I make my dolls, right?
8/14I guess I do! *smiles happily* Though, those weren't really strings... They were just little bits of my soul being put back in the dolls. *The 500th string gets pulled out, and goes off to penetrate her last inactive doll* They also make me feel everything my dolls feel... They truely are extensions of my body...
8/14*raises eyebrow* So they are you just as much as you are... *idly pats one of the dolls on her head*
8/14Doll: *Giggles*

*smiles at the comforting feeling of the patting* Which is why I tend to talk to them when I'm alone... They are alive, but... Well, it's like talking to ones self. I can control up to 999 of them, but then I'd be a bit doll-like. I'd be a hive-mind of sorts. As such, I limit myself to only using half of my soul.
8/14*nods towards her* That would be a good idea. And it's sad to hear that they aren't fully sentient yet... Maybe given enough time, they'll come to life on their own. *eventually stands from the bed, Alice still in her lap*
8/14*Smiles* Maybe...
8/14*sets her down on the floor, beckoning her onward* Follow me; I'll take you down there. *leads her back downstairs and through the house, before coming to the door to the basement*
8/14*flutters wings, and floats after Alice, a number of dolls following behind*
8/14*begins walking downstairs, entering the huge room that leads straight to the furnace, where below, dozens of dolls are busy hammering away on anvils*
8/14Cooool... *gets a closer look with one of her dolls* That's some craftsmanship...
8/14*blushes lightly* Thank you... But this is only one area... There are many other rooms. O ne full of looms, not to mention a woodshop... Although, I carve the wood myself. I have to put a little bit of myself into them, metaphorically, to help give them life.
8/14I make the outfits on mine, and my magic makes the bio-machanical part...
8/14So, the reverse? That is interesting... *leads her over to the wood working shop, settling down at a stool* So, you've never made one with your own hands, without magic?
8/14Nobody ever taught me... I used similar methods as to what mama did to make daemon, minus the creation of a soul. The skin of my dolls is as real as mine, or yours. The inside, however, are a mixture of organs and gears... My magic isn't strong enough to make purely biological parts.
8/14*shakes her head* So, you're trying to be like mother, creating something from nothing. Such an admirable goal... *glances in her eyes* Do you wish to stay? We can work on a new dll, if you want.
8/14*Smiles happily* I'd be happy to!
8/14I'm glad. *takes one head that had been completed, and sets it to the side.* Now, as for the body... *takes a hunk of wood in one hand, smoth and rounded, and begins cutting away. Slowly but surely, the wooden block takes on the form of a young girl's body, minus her legs and arms.*
8/14Woooow... It looks so... life-like...
8/14*eventually, she sits down the body, before taking up more blocks of wood. legs begin to take shape, long for the size of body, and with just the hint of feminine shape. Otherwise, the thighs are barely different from the calves. Setting them to the side, she begins to work on another.*
8/14You work so fast, too... *uses a couple of her dolls to get a better angle*
8/14I am no master... But after doing so many, I know what I want. I just have to be careful. I don't have a do-over. *slowly but surely, she finishes the legs. With a small frown of concentration on her face, she opens a bin to her side, revealing a multitude of various hinges and brass screws. Carefully, she aligns every hinge on the legs, screwing them in her bare hands. Once done, she attaches a ball joint to the top of the legs, and pops it into the rest of the body*
8/15It's so amazing looking... Me, I just turn pulverized meat and powdered bone into what I need... Takes a bit longer, though. *Smiles, and enjoys watching*
8/15*repeats the process for the arms, attaching the without much trouble at all. Afterwards, she takes the tiniest slivers left over and begins crafting the delicate finger joints, bolting them together with slips of nails and the smallest bits of brass. After fifteen or so minutes, there is a mostly complete wooden doll, down to the tiny feet with the little tiny articulated toes*
8/15*Continues to watch in wonder*
8/15*finally satisfied, she takes the already completed head, and attaches it to the neck. With but a quick pop, the head snaps into place, lolling to the side, eyes shut* Now, do you believe that we are finished here, Alice? Is this doll ready to be awoken?
8/15Erm... Doesn't it still need to be clothed? I wouldn't want to see it to get sick... ...Wait, sorry, used to dolls that I have to worry about such things about. Still it seems odd to wake it up without dressing it, though.
8/15*smiles gently* Exactly. I don't suppose you've ever heard the phrase, that the clothes make the man? It's the same with dolls. *cradles her in her arms and stands up, taking her towards the next room* Every piece of wood, ever fitting, and every joint... Even the type of glass in her eyes changes things. The same is with her dress and clothes. They will determine who exactly she is when she wakes up... *glances up at the foundry, before moving into the room with the looms* Not to mention how she will fight.
8/15Really? That much? Wow... *follows*
8/15Yes, it is surprising. But still, none of mine are truly alive... But at least they are self aware. Which is enough for me, at the moment. *takes a few bolts from the looms, before sitting down with the sheets of fabric.* Tell me though, what do you sense from this little one right now?
8/15...A lot of love went into her creation, that she is made of wood, and she is of rather fine craftsmanship. Why?
8/15*shakes her head, before offering the doll to little Alice* That is all well and good. But does she speak to you? Does she tell you anything when you hold her?
8/15Erm... N-no...? Should she...? I'm not very good at these sorts of things...
8/15Alice... *pats her on the shoulder* Just take the doll, and stop thinking. Just feel. For me, at least. I want to... see.
8/15*takes the doll in her arms* ...Heavy...! *once used to the weight, closes her eyes, and empties her mind*

(Honestly, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to have her feel...)
8/15(It's your choice. But do you feel a strong force, like a hurricane? A gentle spring breeze floating about? Blazing fires in a blazing heart, or the solemn strength of an old oak, wise beyond your years. Basically, be poetic... Or just have her not feel anything. There's not a wrong answer at this point)

*chuckles* There is that, too.
8/15...I feel serenity, like a gentle breeze...
8/15A quiet April's day, the blossoms floating upon the air?
8/15I suppose.
8/15Hrm... *takes the doll back, before looking into her closed eyes* ...I know who you are, now. *takes the cloth and discards a few bolts, before beginning to sew together a new outfit. While a dress like all the others, the white dress, lined with pink had the upper folds more similar to the local clothing in Nippon*
8/15*watches with curiosity*
8/15*once that is done, moves over to a nearby rack, taking of a few locks of dark hair from a nearby hook. With trepidation, she begins to massage its scalp gently with sandpaper, roughing it slightly. Afterwards, she applies some glue to it, followed by the hair. After setting for a good ten minutes, during which she finished up on the outfit, the dark bangs nearly covered the doll's eyes, as the rest of the long hair framed the now noticeably pale face*
8/15It looks so... real. It's... amazing!
8/15*smiles somewhat proudly, before pulling the dress over the doll's head. Now in its hybrid dress/yukata, Alice places one finger under the dolls chin, before holding her wooden hand out* To wake her up requires a personal touch... It always does. *a string extends out from a ring on her hand, before connecting with the dolls neck* Little Kyoto... It's time to wake up. Your mama is waiting... *leans down to kiss her on the forehead*
8/15*Watches in wonder of the interesting process*
8/15*the doll seemingly stays still for a few seconds before she suddenly jerks around, her arms flailing from side to side in unnatural movements. Eventually they slow, becoming more fluid and normal. As she stops, her head tilts up, and brown eyes appear as her eyelids part* K.... K... Kyo....to...?
8/15*Continues to silently watch*
8/15Alice: Yes, little Kyoto. Welcome to this world. Do you know who I am?

Kyoto: *tilts her head, before softly saying* Kyoto...~?

Alice: That's right. I'm your mama. Now, do you have a hug for your mama?

Kyoto: *struggles to her feet, swaying from side to side. Eventually catches her balanc, before walking forward on the table and hugging Alice's arm* Kyoto...
8/15How cute... *Smiles*
8/15Alice: *points to little Alice* And that there is your... Aunt, I suppose would be the best way to put it. Do you have one for her?

Kyoto: *climbs down, slowly but surely, and makes her way across the floor gingerly* *stumbles for a second, falling into little Alice's legs*
8/15Aww, that's just precious... *picks her up, and gives her a hug*
8/15Kyoto: *pauses for a second* Kyo...to...~ *buries her head in her shoulder, hugging her tightly*
8/15*purrs happily, and hugs the doll*
8/15Kyoto: *after a moment, climbs up on top of her, and lays across her head, staring down into little Alice's eyes* Kyoto~!
8/15(Making my fae able to purr was a great idea... *sighs happily at the cuteness*)

*smiles up at the doll*
8/15(Yup... that it was. Although, do I like Alice and her dolls too much? XD)

Alice: *clears her throat, smiling in spite of herself*

Kyoto: Kyo~... *climbs down from little Alice, before standing in front of her with her hands clasped*
8/15(Nope! XD)

*chuckles*
8/15Alice: Alright, that should be enough for now. I'll have Shanghai start working on some lunch, and we can head out to find your house.

Kyoto: To~?

Alice: Yes, you can come to.

Kyoto: Kyoto~!
8/15Well, I could always just send out my dolls to comb the area while we eat...
8/15Alice: If you want... Whatever you would rather do. *smiles slightly* It'd be more efficient though, wouldn't it?
8/15A group of 499, compared to a group of 3? A bit... *giggles*
8/15*tilts her head* I thought you said you had five hundred...?
8/15One is with Marisa.
8/15Alice: ... *expression suddenly goes blank*

Kyoto: *suddenly looks at her, putting a hand on her leg* Kyo?
8/15What? It's easier than to send another out at another time... It's in her apron right now.
8/15Alice: What... what is she... doing...?

-

Marisa: *scribbles onto a piece of paper once more, before howling in frustration and breaking the nib of the quill. With a shout, she throws the paper into a pile next to her, nearly quivering as she attempts to make sense of what she wants to say* Why... why is this so hard? How can I not say... say... *sighs* Dammit, Alice. Why did this get so complicated, so soon...
8/15Alice: ...Writing, seemingly to you... *doll clicks* "Why... why is this so hard? How can I not say... say... *sighs* Dammit, Alice. Why did this get so complicated, so soon..."
8/15Alice: *stares out the window, lost in thought*
8/15...Do you need a hug again?
8/15Alice: No... But to my ears, she almost sounds... Sorry.
8/15Almost? Try very... She sounds more sorry than I've ever heard my- the Marisa from my world...
8/15Alice: I know, I know... But... well, you know how she is. Always bold and brash. I'd never imagine her to be... like that. *looks at little Alice* Does she know that your dolls can spy?
8/15Nope~ I do make a point of not telling people EVERYTHING my dolls can do, you know... I've only let you witness as much as you have due to you, well, being me, if only in a sense.
8/15Alice: *chuckles to herself* Quite a tone you've got there... I can see why you used that illusion. But I didn't expect you to. Just... thought I'd ask. *immediately turns and heads towards the door*
8/15Though, if you'd like, you could always send another message to her... They all have the power they did back in the first incident I had seen involving the underground. The second one was... unique, I have to say.
8/15*raises eyebrow* Do I want to know? *shakes her head* Maybe later. This... this is something I must do myself. She was... is... my best friend.
8/15*shrugs* suit yourself. So, I suppose it's time we make breakfast?
8/15*points at the clock* It's actually near noon... We were down there for a few hours.
8/15Ahh. Which reminds me, would you like to see my creative process some time? It's... unique, if I do say so myself...
8/15*nods and smiles at her* Of course! I'd be interested in... what did you call the? Biomechanical? I've only used traditional materials. Wood, cloth... *crosses her eyes as she thinks* And part of me says porcelein, even if I can't remember.
8/15And I would use beat, bone, and a bit of metal~ It's messy, but at the same time, it's not. When it's done, all the leftovers get pulled into the doll. *under breath* I'm just glad that they eat the same thing I usually do...
8/15*hears that* And what would that be?
8/15Magic. I eat the magic in the air, usually. It's why I live in the forest of magic, as it generates the stuff like no other place... It's like hugging mama, but everywhere!
8/15*shakes head, laughing slightly* Oh, that is... actually, it makes sense. You are not a youkai like I am... I still need to eat regular foods. I had thought you meant something else, but never mind. *gives her a curious look* Would you still like some regular food?
8/15Ehh? Fae are youkai too, you know... But, yeah. I'm fine with other food.
8/15*gives her a slight grin* Not from where I'm from... At least, when you get down to the nitty gritty. Youkai is a rather slim term. But is there anything you'd like?
8/15*grins happily* Whatever you like the most, is fine~ It's rare, at best, that I eat that way...
8/15Alright then, I'll think of something... *mutters under her breath* Gonna have to stuff the girl full; she's skin and bones...
8/15*Mutters under her breath* Well, I had to make a number of dolls...
8/15*eyes widen and she spins around* Alice...?
8/15Ehh?
8/15Did you... *shakes her head* Never mind. Shanghai, Hourai! *hustles into the kitchen as the two dolls float down, following behind with confused looks on their faces*
8/15Do you... need any help with anything...? *feels like she said something she shouldn't have*
8/15*no answer comes from the kitchen, only the sounds of lots of pots scraping*

Kyoto: *climbs up on a chair and peers up at little Alice*
8/15*looks at Kyoto, slightly saddened by the silent treatment*
8/15Kyoto: *pats her on the leg* Kyo~
8/15*Smiles slightly at the cute little thing*
8/15Kyoto: *turns towards the kitchen, and tilts her head. After a moment, turns back and shakes her tiny hand back and forth, one finger extended* Kyo...to~. Kyo!
8/15(If you tell me what she's trying to say, this'd be SO much easier! XD)

...Ehh?
8/15(Well, where's the fun in that? And she's just trying to say something along the lines of mama is bad, but is only because she is shocked. It is still a no-no. And I should never do charades)

Kyoto: *points at the kitchen, and shakes her finger no. then, points to her head, and mimes being shocked* Kyokyokyokyokyo
8/15(Charades and Mario Party: One only plays them if you want to risk a falling-out. ;P)

*smiles and nods to the doll slightly, giving her a pat on the head*
8/15(Which is why I only played against the computer... And I'd hate to have a falling out with a lady such as you, no?)

Kyoto: *sighs and nods, before holding her arms up towards little Alice*
8/15(Pft, like I'd get mad over such a small thing... Hell, it'd take a great deal to make me mad, honestly...)

*gives the doll a tight hug, but not too tight*
8/15(Good to know... *scribbles it in notebook*)

Kyoto: *wraps her arms around her neck, and doesn't let go*
8/15*purrs*
8/15Kyoto: *keeps holding on and closes her eyes*

*smells start to float out of the kitchening, ripening the air with their intensity.
8/15*Tears up slightly, as it's very rare that she gets hugs of any quality length. The least particularly good one was back when she was 5 years old, and the day after that, she ended up in gensoukyo, and threw a tantrum, as she wanted to see mama, and yet couldn't*
8/15Kyoto: *leans back, tilting her head as she looked in the girl's eyes* Kyo~?
8/15I-it's nothing... *wipes her eyes*
8/15Kyoto: To! *leans in, and uses the apron on her dress to wipe the tears off. After inspecting, gives the all clear.* Kyoto!
8/15*Smiles* Thank you.
8/15Kyoto: *pats her face, and leaps off, cautiously walking into the other room*

Alice: *returns with an extremely large plate, both Shanghai and Hourai trailing her with even more*
8/15*stomach groans hungrily, much like a particularly hungry Yoshika* Eheh...
8/15Alice: *gives her a smug grin* I knew you'd be hungry... So dig in. *puts the plate on the table*
8/15Thank you for the meal! *grins happily, and starts on the meal*
8/15You're welcome, Alice. *digs in as well, but with considerably less enthusiasm than the girl*
8/15*Is neat, and yet quick and very systematic with her eating, quickly having had cleared half of her plate*
8/15*tilts her head* Is it to your liking?
8/15Yes, it's delicious! *grins happily, before digging into the next food item on the plate, as she had only been going at them one at a time*
8/15*finally sets down her utensils, and just watches the young girl*
8/15*sighs happily, after finishing her food* ehh? *notices Alice had stopped* Aren't you hungry?
8/15*smiles softly* I've even an entire plate. 'Tis enough for me.
8/15*Grins* I haven't had such good food in... well, a couple of years! *grins*
8/15*gives her a small smirk* I guess that means you'll just have to come over then, hrm?
8/15*chuckles* Using food as bait, ehh? I suppose I'll have to accept! Ohh, and I found my home... The forest of magic seems to have doubled in size, actually.
8/15That would be nice... Wriggle will be ecstatic, I'm sure. And not bait necessarily... We've got to study dolls from now on, don't we?
8/15Does the Wriggle of this world like the forest a lot, or something? The one of my world seems to have become a Tengu, if only by passing a test. Seems to be in love with Aya. From what I heard from Marisa, last we... caught up... she's living with Aya. So, shall we go to my home, and I give a demo of how I create dolls?
8/15Certainly! *waves her dolls away, save for Shanghai, who floats next to her* Then, afterwards, I can go... 'see', Marisa... *shakes her head* And if you're wondering, Wriggle is the guardian of the forest. And she has a different birdie she's sweet over.
8/15Between Okuu, Tokiko, and Mystia... I think I'll guess that it's Mystia.
8/15Yup! *beams at her* Youre a smart one, ain't ya?
8/16Well, It comes with learning a great deal about a very selective sort of magic in a small amount of time... I mean, I was only 5 when I was cut off from mama... I learned all I know about making these... golems, in that time.
8/16*pats her on the hand* I am afraid I don't know much about that... But I'm sure I'll be able to help some. Although, I imagine you've learned a great deal ever since...
8/16With my ony source of knowledge cut off, It's been mostly normal magic, such as learning a bit of illusions, some summoning, and a few useful cantrips.
8/16*nods next to her, face looking away* And the Grimoire isn't something to be used lightly...
8/16Only time I've opened it was when I threw a tantrum... It was a stupid, stupid things to do... Now I just keep it at home, in... a very well hidden place.
8/16Finds her eyes drifting down to her wooden hand* Not that bad of an idea... But experience tells me someone will find it... And bad things will happen when they do.
8/16Well, it's technically in makai right now - though, don't tell anyone that. I had to make a rather difficult spell, just to open a book-sized portal to Makai... *sighs* It's being watched over by mama... and I even got to say hi t her, before it collapsed... So, yes, it's hidden quite well. From me.
8/16I can't think of anybody better to protect it. *shakes her head* I asked mine to keep it, but she made some comment about how it's no longer hers to keep...
8/16*chuckles* And mine said that I had grown up well, in what little time I saw her. I mean, entrusting such a book to a four year old is probably not the wisest of choices, though I suppose mama works in mysterious ways sometimes... *shrug*
8/16She is old, I suppose. She's allowed to have some eccentricities. *Giggles* I wonder if we'll be like that, at that age...
8/16*Chuckles* I already have some eccentricies, don't I? *rubs the back of her head*
8/16*grins* Don't we all? But at least I think I'm figuring out how you and your little dolls work... Just by what you're saying, at least.
8/16So, shall we head on over to my house? *grins happily* I don't have a few key componants that are needed to show my methods, here... Such as where I slip my dust into, a fair amount of meat and bone, my mallet, meat grinder, and a number of knives. Ohh, and a bone saw.
8/16*cringes a little at the thought* Alright... That is fine with me. I'm afraid I don't have anything like that here.
8/16Alright! I'll lead the way, so try no to lose me! *goes for the front door*
8/16*follows behind her, Shanghai and Hourai flanking her* Moscow, you and the others hold down the fort...

Kyoto: *pulls on both of the Alice's dress*
8/16Ahh, we did say we'd bring her, didn't we? *picks up the doll, and gives her a hug* So cute~
8/16Kyoto: Kyo~ *pats little Alice's face, before climbing up on her shoulders*

Alice: Kyoto... *shakes her head* Just enjoy it. It won't be long until she learns how to fly.
8/16*Giggles* Well, let's go, I suppose~ *floats out the door, a number of dolls swarming around her*
8/16*follows her out, into the sky above the forest* Now that I look, this place is a lot bigger...
8/16Yeah... Though, we'll have to go back down, once we reach the half of the forest I live in... It's next to impossible to get through from above, or below... It also just about blocks out the sun, obviously. Which would be why the mushrooms grow so well, actually... *shrug* Great enviroment, and such.
8/16I've no doubt. Although, sunlight is never a bad thing to have. You provide all the light that your house needs, I imagine?
8/16I would hope so! It's quite hard to see in pitch black conditions... Though, it's also one of the places Rumia and Mima tend to stay, as such. Not that they'd be around right now, what with being guests of the devil.
8/16That would be good... *shivers* The two of them... Disturb me, I'll admit.
8/16*shrugs* Eating people is rather common where I'm from. Ahh, here we are. It's about time we go down. *flies to the edge, where the trees suddenly turn into a green, leafy shield*
8/16We've attempted to stamp it out here, you might imagine. My mother was a human at one point, before she transcended existence... *follows her, looking about the odd portion of the forest* I can see where it changes. This is quite unnatural.
8/16Well, atleast there are bio-luminescent mushrooms, to give a tiny bit of light. Even Rumia can't see in the areas that are as dark as can be... Has to have Mima make lunar mage-lights for her, and such. Night and day are alien concepts to the insides of this forest, which is more like a cave of wood. I mean, the branches above just about inter-lock, and the trees are all as tough as steel...
8/16Hrm... *runs a finger along one of the trees* Oh, yes, Wriggle is going to have some fun. This is some old wood, here... Not going to be long before she comes and takes care of it.
8/16Though, now that I think about it, you might like the wood... You could make dolls that are harder than many kinds of metals, fire-proof, and shock absorbant. Plus, instead of air, the trees pump out pure, raw magic, making their wood highly effective in making magical foci.
8/16We'll see... I prefer to use the least amount of magic in the construction. It keeps out any elements that might be unsavory. And fireproof? The Greenskeeper will be testing that out soon
8/16Well, fireproof to an extent. Nothing is truely fireproof, unless it destroys oxygen... And I really don't think these trees do that, or else Marisa would have died by now. *shrug* Over there, in the house that stinks of carnage, would be where Rumia and Mima have taken up residence. Not much farther untill we reach my home, now. *bounces the doll on her shoulders a bit*
8/16*pinches her nose* I do suppose that it smells as one would expect as a charnal house would. And I merely say as much, as it is her job to kill the forest, so that it may grow*

Kyoto: *squeals loudly, bouncing her hands on Alice's head* Kyooootooo~
8/16*giggles at Kyoto's reaction*
8/16Kyoto: *spots the house through the branches* To~?
8/16Yeah. *smiles* That's where I live.
8/16Kyoto: *attempts to start climbing down*
8/16*taps the lock, and it clicks, the door opening*
8/16Kyoto: *immediately runs into the house, stumbling over her skirt as she attempts to climb the step to the door*

Alice: *calls out, frown crossing her face* Kyoto! Be careful, now!
8/16Is she so delicate? She's made of wood...
8/16Alice: She's still the mentality of a child... And can you not help but think of her as one? Just because she's made of wood doesn't mean she's any less alive.
8/16Though, she's still more durable... I don't have any particularly easy to trip over areas in my home, o bon-fires spread about, so I'd think she'd be fine... *shrugs*
8/16Alice: I know, mentally, that she would be fine... Sometimes, I just feel like an old mother, watching her children frolic everywhere.
8/16*giggles* I wish I could have that happen with my own... Though, that makes me wonder... Why have so few dolls?
8/16Alice: The ones that you've seen are my pride and joy... Not quite alive, but so close... I know that a lot of it is powered by my subconscious, but when I see little Kyoto right there, I have a feeling that she is alive, you know? *shrugs* I have lots of other ones... That foundry, for example, is designed to be worked by a few dozen at a time. But they are mainly simpler dolls, rougher. Made out of cloth and soft metal... Not like she is... *gestures towards Kyoto*
8/16*smiles* I... make my dolls all the same... dress them all the same... and they are all capable of the same things... They are as durable as I, as these 500 are of my flesh...
8/16There's... a theory about that, that I want to share. If you don't mind me speaking without further study...
8/16I don't mind.
8/16You are.. aware of what you've done, splitting your soul so many ways, and putting them into vessels made of your own flesh and blood? You've created a homunculus...
8/16Really? Intrigueing...
8/16What would that entail? I know very little on the subject, honestly.
8/16Alice: A homunculus... more commonly known as a soul jar, is a device that allows one to remain effectively immortal. For as long as one of the soul jars exist on the plane we occupy, your spirit can not pass on. *shrugs* it also explains why your dolls are not as... Independent.
8/16But I'm already immortal, for the first 999 deaths, and with every dall that dies, the dust returns to my body, allowing me to create more. I guess it must work differently for fae... Though, it also reminds me a bit of a phylactery that a lich uses...
8/16That would be another word. Although, a homunculus is specifically an organic creation, like these dolls. They are alive, yet not. Since they are mere extensions of you... *shakes her head* Getting off topic. But what I mean is, even if you use up all of your deaths, you still couldn't be killed for good.
8/16...Interesting... Wait, does that mean that if I use all 1000 portions of my soul, I'd still have full use of my body? *grins*
8/16Not necessarily. It would just be a shell, waiting to be used by someone. *gives a faint grin* I'm not necromancer, but I'm sure I could figure a way out to reanimate it.
8/16Hrm... No, that's fine. I'd rather not risk it, and wind up as just 1000 dolls...
8/16Indeed, that'd be the better case. *glances around and sighs* You know, your dolls will never come alive like that.
8/16*smiles sadly* Yeah... Well, enough of this depressing talk for now, I suppose I'll show you a bit of my cration process, in a way that doesn't require me to saw off my arm.
8/16*nods and follows her in, letting her eyes adjust to the light*
8/16*Small crystal orbs filled with the same glowing fungi from outside are all over the room, giving a moderate level of green light* Welcome to my abode! Right this way. *pushes open a steel door, that leades to a chilled room* This would be my workshop, where I store meat and bones for practice, as well as... a few arms, if I need to repair any dolls... *Meat hooks with slabs of meat on them line the walls* Do be sure to close the door, by the way. *in the center of the farthest wall, is a wooden table covered in knives, and various other tools, all of them looking well used*
8/16*shivers at the sight of the meat and slams the door shut, trying to ignore what is there* *follows her over to the table, picking up the worn, but clean knife nearest to her* What metal is this, I can't really tell. It feels... cold, to the touch. Real cold.

(By the by, have you played either of the American McGee's Alice games?)
8/16(Nope)

Cold iron. Without it, I'd not easily be able to cut my flesh... The name is very aptly chosen, is it not? It's actually rather simple to make an artificial version of it, where I'm from... Though, one must kill a fae to make it. I got the fairy dust from Marisa, as I help her gather it, after every incident... She has a great deal of the stuff, too... It's a bit... creepy, honestly. It scares me a bit, that after most any incident, there is usually enough of the stuff to make 5-10 bars of dust... That's 5000-10000 dead fae... *shivers from more than the cold*
8/16(I have the feeling you might like them.)

*raises her eyebrow* There are that many fairies in your land? Or are they able to regenerate quickly enough to try and fight again. *shrugs* I prefer silver for all of my needs for targeting immortals, but that is just preference, really.
8/16*shrugs* and yet silver doesn't cut through fae like a knife through butter... ...Not that one usually actually NEEDS to cute through fae so easily. I guess an example is in order. *calls a doll in, which draws a sword from seemingly nowhere* This would be a silver blade... *has the doll stab her in the hand hard, where the blade sinks in, and yet doesn't seem to draw any blood* And this is cold iron... *picks up a knife from the table, and slips it through her palm as easily as one would with stick a fork in a steak*
8/16(Well, it's very... dark, at least. And Alice's house reminded me of a scene from it. XD)

*nods, still watching the two blades* But the point of cold iron is that it repels magic, isn't it? It's natural, but it is naturally the opposite of magic, for whatever reason you may have?
8/16I suppose that's one way to put it. Though, I'm sure there are some differences between the things made from my world, and yours. Even natural things. *shrugs* I mean, where I'm from, silver has very little uses, but is quite effective against lycanthropes. I have a few of every material I can think of, as it would be bad to be caught in a fight without such a thing. ...And my oldest one even has a metaline blade, which is literally able to harm anything that would normally be immune to any sort of damage. *smiles gently* *a particularly battle hardened looking doll opens the door, and closes it behind her*
8/16Alice: But there is plenty that you can do with silver... It holds enchantments like no business. Compared to cold iron, which can't hold even the smallest of charges. *turns to the other doll, and lowers herself to look at it from eye level* Hello, there.

Kyoto: *runs behind Alice, peeking at the doll from beside her*
8/16Well, when you have over 500 weapons to worry about, enchant is less of a concern... I mean, I gave about 100 of my troops ordinary knives to use, as I eventually ran out of materials. I'm slowly making pregress towards getting more metal, but I also have to worry about once I gain a second pair of wings... My power, and the size of my soul, will double at that time... I'll have to worry about creating 500 more dolls, and getting 500 more sets of armor and such, along with the fabric to dress them, as I don't particularly want my army to be full of naked girls, as that'd drive my business even lower. Which is why I have a bit of mining going on under my house, as I'd rather not pay the horrendous mark-ups of the humans. Though, I suppose I'm rambling at this point, so I must apologise.
8/16*shrugs* It's no concern to me. Although, it is interesting what you're saying. What sort of operation are yo utrying to run here? You make it sound like it's more than just a simple dollmaker's home... *strokes her chin* And also, would it not be more efficient to search around in the underground, or has that been mined out?
8/16The only good location for mining down there has a spider infestation... *shudders* I'm not so good with spiders... And I make clothing, for far more reasonable prices than that spider in the underground... Though, I suppose they also aren't made of spider silk.
8/16Well, let's see what I can do to help, at least. If we can't make that profitable, then perhaps mining would... I have a feeling there might be an uptic in demand, soon.
8/16*giggles* With double the people, that's a bit obvious, you know. *grins* Though, really, I should work on this demo right now. Let's see... *in a swift motion, cuts a slab of meat in half, and catches it* That should be pleanty of meat. *places it on the table* but not enough bone... *grabs a bit of bone from a bin of them* There, that should be good on both of those! Now for the mechanical bit... *takes a small gear box from yet anoth bin, and places it on the table as well* There! Now I can get started.
8/16*raises her eyebrows, but continues to watch her construction*
8/16*puts the meat in the meat grinder, and starts to grind it to a far more work-able state*
8/16*watches with... disgusted fascination as the pieces are churned into chuck*
8/16*places the lump of ground-meat on the table, and pulls 4 small lumps from it, and a slaghtly large lump, keeping them seperate from the rest of the lump* Now to grind the bones... *starts the break off little bits of bone, and place them in a motar, and takes a pestle to them, grinding them into a dust, and repeating this untill every bone had been turned to dust*
8/16*hums to herself as her mind gives way to curiosity* *going to make bones for the dolls out of those? But what is the box for?*
8/16*begins to use the bone dust to make bones, by way of a bit of magic to make them melt together, and then forms them like an oddly stiff sort of clay*
8/16*raises her eyebrow, mentally taking notes*
8/16*With a whole skeleton complete after a fairly long bit of time, she grabs a bit of the meat from the main mass, and forms it around the box of gears and such, in the shape of a heart*
8/16*nods as they start to come together* *this one is but flesh and faith...*
8/16*runs a bit of electrical magic through the heart, and it begins to click, and beat, click, and beat* *sticks it on the ribcage and starts filling it up with meat*
8/16*tilts her head to the side* So, just a heart of gears? Does it pump blood, or is it just the conduit through which the magic runs?
8/16It's where my bit of soul resides, and yes, it also pumps blood. After their creation, very little magic is involved. *magically guides the lump of meat and bone to create muscles, organs, tendons, and ligaments*
8/16Interesting... True homunculi, without the use of potions. *raises her eyebrow* Did you ever show Marisa anything like this?
8/16No. Why? *starts work on the head, forming muscles and such around it, and eyes, too, eventually*
8/16*shakes her head* Good. I'd rather she not get any ideas... Either of them. This is powerful magic.
8/16It is...
8/16*once the dolls is finished, she places a hand on it, checking to see if it is actually alive*
8/16*it beathes slowly, showing that it's asleep*
8/16Kyoto: *climbs up, before staring at the doll. She pokes it with a wooden finger, trying to get it to react* Kyo~?
8/16*slips a soul into it*
8/16Kyoto: To! *shivers as she feel the soul pass by her*
8/16*eyes slowly open, and she extends a hand for assistance in getting up from the far larger Kyoto*
8/16Kyoto: *takes the small doll by the hand and lifts her up, tilting her head as she looks at her* Ky?
8/16Doll: *smiles, and realises she's missing something* *covers self a bit, with a blush*
8/16Kyoto: *head tilts to the side, having not realized what's wrong with the doll*
8/16Doll: *gets distracted, when a pair of transluscent fairy wings pop up behind her, and stops trying to cover her pale flesh, while wiggling her new appendages*

*chuckles*
8/16Kyoto: Kyo! *circles around, staring at the doll's wings* To... *looks up at Alice* Kyoto~!

Alice: *shakes her head, giggling* No, you can't have your own pair, as pretty as you'd be.
8/16Alice: *giggles* I'm sure we could make a pair, if she truely wishes it... Crystalize some form of element, make it levetate, and then tie it to her back... Plus, she looks like she reaaaally wants them... *giggles yet again*
8/16Alice: *shakes her head* I've... an idea, for something. If you'd rather me make a pair for you... Not quite like this. Your choice, little one.

Kyoto: *bows her head in thought*
8/16*Alice and the doll watch with curiosity*
8/16Kyoto: *holds up her index finger on each hand, before nodding* Kyo!
8/16*giggles, and now looks to Alice, out of curiosity as to what her plan is*
8/16Alice: *sighs, and puts a palm to her face* Do you know how ridiculous it would be to have one wing from each?
8/16*snickers*
8/16Alice: What do you think, Alice?
8/16It should be fine, right? *grins*
8/16*rolls her eyes* Of course... Are you sure that is what you want, Kyoto?

Kyoto: *nods her head, giving her big puppy dog eyes*

Alice: Fine, fine... but only 'one' wing. I shall make your other.
8/16*holds up her left hand and causes the mana in the air to crytalize at the tip of the index finger* Hnn... *concentrates hard, and the chunk turns into a disk* ghhnnn...! *strains her focus, and the disk becomes an eye-like shape* Whew... There, that should be fine...
8/16Kyoto: *turns around, ready for it to be attached*
8/16It'd probably be best to do both at the same time, little one... *pats her head* So, you hang on to this, okay? *smiles*
8/16Kyoto: *tentatively reaches out for it, before grabbing the crystal teardrop* Kyo... *begins rubbing her face into it.

Alice: *chuckles, before shaking her head. Now they'll all want one...
8/16*chuckles* Well, that issue can be adressed when it comes up.
8/17Alice: I suppose. *looks down at the other doll* Doesn't she still need clothes, though?
8/17W-well... I, erm... I wasn't intending to keep her, untill Kyoto made me go with the flow, and activate her... It's going to be odd having a doll that eats grass... *sighs*
8/17*tilts head to the side, before blinking* Oh, cow meat?
8/17Yeah, that was beef I used. Not sure on the bones, though. I mean, that's part of why I make my dolls out of myself, really. Most things don't eat abundantly free things, such as mana.
8/17*pokes the doll gently* I'm surprised that there is no tail, or something like that..
8/17...That's because I didn't give it a tail... *raises an eyebrow*
8/17Well, yeah. *shrugs* Just used to non-human youkai to have a noticeable origin. A feather, or a whisker, or some sort. Thought it might carry over to dolls.
8/17*giggles* Such as my soul giving them wings? *chuckles* I mean, if you like, I can give her a tail, horns, and a pair of udders.
8/17*shakes head* No, no, it's alright. I was merely curious, and wanted to determine what would happen.
8/17*giggles* If you say so. So, what is it you plan to do for her other wing? You have me a bit curious, now...
8/17It depends. I'll have to see what I have back at the house. *grins widely* Unless you know a tengu that needs to be plucked?
8/17Well, I do know one with horribly good timing, who happened upon me when it was bath-time. Being surrounded by miniature, naked fae does make for interresting news.
8/17*facepalm* Which one was it? Or should I even bother with asking?
8/17A little of column A, a little of column B. Damn tengu...
8/17Yup. Sounds like Aya. Or at least, what Aya could be like... Ours isn't that bad; she just has a twisted view of what's important.
8/17It was both Aya, and her neice, Hatate... They both got a picture of my at the same time, and then proceeded to fight over who gets to write the story... *sighs*
8/17*pats Alice gently on the back.* Were you in disguise at the time, or was that when you had let it down?
8/17It was down... They speculated that I was an illegitimate child.
8/17*snorts* Of course, of course. Whatever could make the situation look worst, yeah? We might need to have a talk with 'em...
8/17*Shrugs* The bird-brains probably don't even remember...
8/17Still, plucking a few feathers would be cathartic, would it not?
8/17Yeah, if I could only see her... She moves the fastest in gensoukyo for a reason, you know... She's also really easy to wake, jumpy, quick to flee, and likes to keep black-mail others, to avoid being black-mailed. A real paranoid one...
8/17Hrm. Then, we just need to figure out how to get her drunk.
8/17She can down about as much as you your average oni... She IS a tengu. Plus, she's a careful one, as she only really truely drink when it's being forced by an oni... I've watched her a fair bit, you know... She has a surprisingly low number of weaknesses... And I'm not about to take Wriggle hostage, so give her a "shutter chance" as she calls it...
8/17Slippery as an eel, and about as willing to go out and about. I wonder if I could talk ours into getting her into a trap... Promise her the scoop of the decade if she's able to do it. *shrugs* Or... What's this 'shutter chance'?
8/17When she reffers to particularly good "scoop"s, she calls the chance to take a picture a sutter chance
8/17Hrm.. *strokes her chin* I'd hate to imagine what we'd need to do to... 'earn' such a privilege.
8/17Something black-mail worthy, probably...
8/17Bah... Would it even be worth it, in that case?
8/17...Do you not think I would have done something by now, if I could...?
8/17Indeed. But would it be possible for two of us to set up such a trap? *shrugs* Conjecture. Best just to keep our eyes out, just in case.
8/17True. It couldn't hurt....
8/17Aye. Well, either way, I need feathers for Kyoto. And who do we know that has feathers, and either would deserve getting them taken away, or who would give them to us.
8/17Hurm... Maybe Tokiko. Doubt Kazami would... Ahh, Lily might.
8/17*pales slightly* Which... Lily?
8/17*tilts head* What do you mean? I only know of one Lily... Lily White!
8/17Oh, yours... *shakes head* Of course. You don't know about Lily the White, or Lily the Gray, or Lily the Brown... *sighs* Or all of the others.
8/17There are others...? That sounds confusing... Does she have a big family unit?
8/17No, it's a group of fae of the Court of Spring... Or, actually, it was originally just Lily the White. She is so happy, so joyous, that she wants to share it with everyone. She will make everyone as happy as her... *shoots her a look* And if you stay with her, she'll eventually mold you into one of her. Twisting illusions would sink into the body, until reality itself gave way, and the glamour would become reality instead. A long, slow, process that strips anyone of their sense of self.
8/17That sounds... unique... the Lily of my world is only a single slightly crabby fae, save for when it's spring, and the herald of spring. Then you have Yuuka, who is the avatar of spring. If not for her fighting mama, I'd probably not know that she's a fae...
8/17*nods* Roger that. It's fortunate that the only fae around in our world are the Lilys, along with Cirno and Daiyousei. The only one you could even call good would be Cirno. The rest of them... well, they aren't on the side of any rational person, human or youkai.
8/17Interresting... Though, most of the fae of my world are also rather... quick to anger. They tend to try to shoot you down about as quickly as Marisa is to shoot any foe down.
8/17*smirks slightly* that would make it a lot simpler. The fairies are a bit like that, but the fae...? They are patient, for they have an eternity. Tell me... what is the best way to describe the fair folk?
8/17A bit brash, quick to anger, childish, stupid, and a bit suicidal with who they attack...
8/17Hrm... *stares off into the distance* If only it were so easy. The fae... are wonderful. They provoke wonder. The fae are fantastic... They create fantasies. The fae are glamours, for they project glamour. *gives a deep sigh* The fae are terrific, for they beget terror.
8/17Hrm... What is a glamour? It doesn't sound like anything good...
8/17Tell me, of what illusions do you know?
8/17Well, I know the ones that come naturally, such as tricking others into thinking that they are fae, and to make crude illusions... I know normal magic for it, too, which is how I create my illusionary self.
8/17A glamour is the deepest of illusions that can be created... It makes me wonder why I did not connect the two after discussed your faux self. But a glamour is deeper, insidious. It is not merely visual It fools all the senses. It fools the mind. And it will seep into you... warping your very essence, polluting your soul. After so long, reality itself will give way, and the glamour becomes real... That's what happens to the changelings, at least...
8/17Huh... The only way that I know of to become a fae was to gather the dust of 1000 dead fae, a drop of blood from a herald or avatar, and eat it... *shivers at the thought* That's how Marisa did it.
8/17That's probably the only way to do it on your own terms... If a fae does it, they will mold it into the way they want you to act... Not the way you want it to.
8/17Interresting...
8/17???: Ah'd lahk ta say that it is, ya wee lass!
8/17*leaps away from the source of the voice, and a number of hidden dolls flying out, ready to protect her* Who goes there!
8/17???: Easy thar, girl, it tain't lahk Ah be wantin' ta cause ye any harm. Ah just heard mah name be talkin' about, and drahpped on bah.

Alice: *having moved to guard the girl, she dropped her hands, staring at the sound of the voice* ...One of the Lily's?
8/17Erm... Hi, there. *wings flutter a bit nervously* I... how did you get past all of my guards?
8/17Lily the it should be obvious: Aye, that Ah be. As for those dollies of yours, they not be strong enough ta be keepin' me out. Nobody can see through one of mah illusions, if I not be wantin' it. *sighs* Damned if Ah have 'em, but gotta live what with the hand that Ah been dealt.
8/17*mumbles* She doesn't seem as bad as I expected, really... *stops* So, erm... what can I do for you, miss Lily...? If you like, I could put on some tea...
8/17Lily the should I say it now?: Tis because Ah'm naht lahk those others that say they be Lily's! True, I've taken on her form, not to mention that mah mind has been twisted sommat, but I still remember that I wasn't always this... This... damn thing that I am!
8/17Really? Interresting... So, tea? *smiles sweetly*
8/17Lily: Depends on wha ya be puttin' in it, lass. Be it girly stuff, or somethin' a mite bit stronger?
8/17I guess I have a bit of scotch, if you'd like me to add some of that to it...
8/17Lily: Aye, lass, that'd be a might bit nahce. Where might Ah be findin' that there bourbon?
8/17*a doll with a tea set comes in, signifying it being ready* It's already ready. We just need to go and enjoy it, that's all.
8/17Lily: Good, that'd be maghty kind of ya. *floats into the next room*

Alice: ...Well, that was completely unexpected... *narrows her eyes* I don't remember a Lily of that color though. So I have to be wondering...
8/17Well, we could discuss that over tea, I'm sure. *makes her way out of the frigid room, and holds the door for Alice*
8/17Alice: Yeah, that'd be for the best. *grabs Kyoto by the hand and leads her out*

Kyoto: Kyo~ *waves goodbye to her new little cow-doll friend.*
8/17*the doll waves bye*

Alice: *closes the door behind them, and leads Alice to the dining room*
8/17Lily: *pounds back some tea* Tain't too bad, wee lass. Them dolls of yours done good.

Alice: *sits down far from the Lily, where she can watch with all of her eyes*
8/17*sits to the side of each of them and enjoys her tea, calmly getting an assault force hidden in numerous places, just in case* *has the dolls of the room all watch Lily carefully, so that she doesn't have to directly look suspicious*
8/17Lily: Mmmm... Not too bad, Ah have to be admittin'... Course, ya realize that Ah can feel all that iron about here, don't ya be kennin' me? Ah am what Ah am, even if Ah be hatin' it. So, you can be goin' on and puttin' away the dollies, lass. Ah ain't here to be turnin' ya.
8/17Regardless, I feel more comfortable with them near. I mean, I have no guarentee. Also, duely noted that you and your kind can sense cold iron... I shall keep that in mind, for future tactics against the fae of this world. *smiles* Plus, I still haven't a clue as to why you are here.
8/17Lily: Lahk ah said earlier, ah heard mah name being discussed, so's I decided ta drop by. *scowls* Course, doesn't help that we all be Lily's, so we only have one name. We only dress different so's that those that ain't fae can have an easier time tellin' us apart.
8/17Hmm... Alright. *sends the ones with cold iron away*
8/17Lily: Course, Ah wish Ah could go by my original name, but there be no luck in that. Considerin' that Ah can't remember the dern thing... But you may know me as Black. Lily the Black.

Alice: *leans back in her chair, Kyoto sitting on her lap* I don't remember a black. Most of the other colors, but not one of you.
8/17Alright, miss Black. *smiles*
8/17Alice: So, Alice here trusts you, but I'm keeping my eye on you...

Lily: Ah can't blame ya. Sometimes Ah be considerin' carryin' a mirror around to watch myself, but then... Then ah start ta feel mah mind twist.
8/17That can't be good... I do hope you find a way to fix that, somehow. Though, it does sound like it'd be...
8/17Lily: Damn near impossible. 'Twould need another fae of spring ta be makin' the change, and tain't lahk there are many more of 'em about and willin' ta help one lahk me.
8/17Well, how did you get "like you"?
8/17Lily: Ah was takin, bamboozled, and befuddled. It took many weeks, or months... Ah don't know. Before long, though, ah looked lahk this. Small, tahny... Perfect, some maht say. But it's horrible ta me. Ah don't even remember what ah was before...
8/17I meant like you, in particular. As in, how did you start acting like you aren't brain-washed?
8/17Lily: Ah dinnae, lass. Just one day, up and realizin' that this wasn't 'right', ya know? All that dancin' round the fairy forts at night, preachin' the comin' of spring ta anyone that would listen... *shiver* Ah try not ta think about it ta much, ya ken me?
8/18I don't really understand entirely, but I suppose I can sympathise, in a way. I was a bit... crazy, untill Alice made me realize just how stupid I was being, yesterday... *sigh* I would chase Marisa around, and try to make her love me. Thinking back, it was really childish of me...
8/18(You know, now that I think about it, I never DID ask what you were busy with! XD *curious*)
8/18Lily: 'Tis a bit of a wise one there. *eye's linger on Alice's hand* Although, it appears that she dinnae too much care when she was dabblin' in the occult, aye?

Alice: *flinches slightly* I didn't dablle in anything... I just let a valuable tome get away from me... and it exacted its toll.
8/18( had to go and help my sister move in to college. They spent the night last night, hence why I couldn't stay up late, and I had to leave at 7 this morning to get there on time. Been up since 6. XD)
8/18(Gah!)

So, Lily, would you like to order a custom outfit? *smiles* I figure I might as well ask...
8/18Lily: *shrugs* Ah don't really care. But, would be nahce to at least get mahself into some pants, for once. Not often a'tall that ah find somethin' to fit mah size... and mah figure.

(At least I had a pretty lady to talk to when I came back, hrm?)
8/18(*blushes* Erm... D-do... [Do you mean me~?])

*Giggles* Well, I suppose I should measure you and get the sort of look you'd like, hmm? However, let's do that after tea.
8/18Lily: Aye, that be good with me. *Slams back another cup of tea*

(Well, naturally. If it's alright for me to say that much, at least.)
8/18(*Smiles happily*)

*sips her cup* That's good. *grins*
8/18(*pats head and returns smile* And fair warning, if I stop replying randomly... I probably fell asleep. Been up 17 hours so far. XD I'll do my best to warn if it gets too bad, though)

Alice: HRm... I believe now is the time I make a quip that involves the word good, is it not?

Kyoto: Kyo~ *picks up her own teacup and sniffs at it*
8/18But isn't that good enough, Alice? *grins teasingly*
8/18I suppose that might be a good way to put it, yes.
8/18*giggles, and finishes off her tea*
8/18*snickers, and quietly takes a sip* I suppose we have been quite silly, hrm?
8/18Quite silly, indeed. *smiles*
8/18So, what is the plan from here? Besides... 'helping' this Lily, what more have we to do?
8/18Hrm... Maybe warning the fae of the... other fae... might be a good idea... I mean, they ARE the largest population in the gensokyo I'm from...
8/18True... And imagine if a large number of them were transformed, if only for power... *shivers* It could be really bad.

Lily: More Lily's? Tis always a bad thing, lass.
8/18

Yeah... There are probably 10,000-100,000 fae from my world. Too difficult to keep tabs, as more are constantly being born... Though, really, all we have to do to warn the fae, is to warn the avatars of each season, and the fae Heralds, if we can find them... so Daiyousei, Aki, Utsuho, and Letty... And if we locate her, Lily White. I'm sure it'd be a bad thing if she met a Lily, without knowing not to trust them...
8/18Lily: *slams down the drink, staring at Alice* By spring, there be two of them? Cor blimey... just kill me now, and Ah'll be happy.

Alice: *shakes her head* That many beings... They'll have lots of room to fill up. There's a few hundred in total, maybe a thousand different youkai of all types. That sounds narly ridiculous.
8/18Well, with the numbers that marisa atomizes an incident, there have to be a lot... It takes about a day for a regeneration from that sort of damage...
8/18Alice: *snorts* A day to regenerate that much damage... And that's your weakest? With enough tenacity, I wouldn't be surprised if they form a large power bloc, eventually.
8/18We're a tenacious bunch, and even our weakest have power... They just don't know how to use it. *shrugs* I mean, I'm in the weakest stage of a fae from my world - we grow more wings as we grow in strength, without any sort of limit. ...Mama has 30 pairs of wings, but keeps them folded, unless she needs such power.
8/18That seems a tad bit.... unwieldy. I'll not comment on the physics of it, as I have a wooden doll beside me attempting to drink from a teacup.
8/18*shrugs* When you have enough power, you really don't have to worry about such things. If I had that many wings, I'd have a soul with enough power to keep an army of... I think in the neighborhood of four quadrillion dolls. And that'd be only half my fairy dust...
8/18(Ok, now I'm curious. What is the function that determines the level of a fairy's power? Is it geometric? Arithmetic? Exponential? Doesn't seem logarithmic... Or is it some other function?)

Alice: Spouting out some large numbers there... But doesn't that miss the point? The dolls aren't in nately spellcasters... Neither of ours are, except for my Hourais I believe. So, would they not be vulnerable to magic, save for their weapons.
8/18(100/1000 and then multiply by 2 for every pair of wings beyond the first)

And this is why taking magic lesons can be of use. Wards and the like are tattooed into easily hidden locations on my dolls. I'm sure you could etch such a thing into your dolls if you liked, couldn't you?
8/18(Ok, so P=b*2^(x-1), where b is the power and x is the number of pairs of wings. Roger that.)

Alice: *stares off into the distance* Should I explain why Hourai, and her sisters like her, are the only ones of mine that use magic?
8/18*smiles* Sure, I don't see why not.
8/18They hang for a reason, I will say. The woods that they have are coated and soak in various magical dyes and powders... Not unlike your fairy dust, I imagine. But concentrated elemental stones, the blood of various mystical creatures, the tears of goddesses.. Anything and everything I get my hands on. *bows her heads down, looking at the table* But the screams... The screams they can make...
8/18Wow... That's... Do they... scream in pain? Or in terror?
8/18Something... between the two. All those powers being forced into the dolls... It's like taking a human and pumping them full of godly power, and expecting them to take it well. Their minds... break. *sniffs* The only reason I did it... Well, I haven't done it in years. I kept trying to find ways to improve it... to make everything better, and painless... But there was... no success.

(There was a reason she had a room full of nooses, after all)
8/18Wow... I had no idea... Though... I know that fairy dust shouldn't cause pain, as I feel everything done to my dolls... If their little arm breaks, I feel that pain... I know the pain of death that all fae learn, and yet have never died, myself... I, erm... I even feel pleasant things that they feel. *blushes* Though, I'm sure you don't want to hear about that...
8/18*blushes just as deeply* Let's skip over that little part for now, yes? But even if I cannot literally feel their pain... The sight of my dolls, my 'children...
8/18Yeah... I can imagine such a thing, even if I don't have much any way to relate... It sounds truely horrible...
8/18*begins to tear up* And I can't truly know if she resents me for what I did... Even if they are not truly alive... What separates the fake emotions from the real ones?
8/18Nothing. If you believe them to be alive, they are alive enough. *smiles and pats her head* With strong enough belief, anything can be true. They will be alive, if you wish hard enough. And I'm sure they will forgive you, if you try hard enough.
8/18*shrugs* We will see... We will see. *gives another sigh* I am just trying to do my best... And I'm not sure about Hourai... What if she turns out like the two dolls on the hill? Melancholy hates my very essence... and the little one just... she just stares.
8/18I'm sure that with enough effort, you can get any of these dolls to atleast not actively hate you... *smiles cheerfully*
8/18Maybe... maybe. I just don't understand why those two hate me so. And that one doll, it seems like she... she knws something about me. But what, I don't know...

(btw, in order to be fully recovered, Alice must make up with Su-san. Gotta love sidequests... XD)
8/18Maybe she does? Now, why would she? Why would a DOLL know things about you...? There are numerous reasons that it could be... It could be she knows of what you've done to hourai... Or maybe, somehow, she was once a doll of yours.
8/18*shivers* A spirit of revenge? Or... No, how could she be one of mine? I don't make dolls out of porceilein. I've never had one. Not since... Not since I opened the grimoire the first time. When I was your size.
8/18Well, where is this doll made of porceilein?
8/18*jerks her head to the side* Over at the nameless hill, in the field of suzuran
8/19I mean the other one. What happened to the doll that you made?
8/19That's it... I don't know. And I didn't make her... She was a gift... *sniffs* A gift from mother. The last I know of her was that it was in Makai, but I haven't seen hide nor hair since...
8/19Aww... *gives her a pat on the back* Why didn't you take her with you? It seems odd to leave a doll like that behind... I mean, you don't even have to use her in battle. Also, are you sure they aren't one in the same? What was the name of the doll that you left behind? I, too, have a doll like that, but different... Mama helped make my first doll, and so she's far more... perfect than the rest. She's also nigh indestructable due to this...
8/19*slumps* After everything... everything with the book happened, I ran. I took nothing with me, save for the clothes on my back. Course, that didn't keep that Grimoire from following me, for... I don't know, only suspect. So, I've nothing left of my old life... *looks away* And, I haven't been back since.
8/19I wish I could go back... I take it the gate is open, in this world? You really shouldn't take that for granted, you know... There might come a day when you want to go back, and yet can't. Imagine if you could never see your mother again.
8/19*shivers* I know... But I... I screwed up so badly. It would be hard to go back and face everyone...
8/19And yet you should. It's not good to run away from such things. Take responsability. *smiles* I'm sure that it's only making things seem worse, if you never return... If your mother loves you so much, I'm sure she would love to see her child all grown up.
8/19...*looks down* I'm running away from a lot of things, aren't I? Marisa, Mama.. Perhaps you're right... *sighs* And I did say that I would go and see Marisa today... hopefully before things get any worse.
8/19Would you like me to warn Marisa of your coming, so that she stops acting as depressed as she has been?
8/19*stands up from the table, gathering Kyoto in her arms* As much as I'd like it, no. We need to talk... And I don't want her going off on some tangent.
8/19If she's anything like my Ma- the Marisa from my world, won't she probably do that anyways...?
8/19Yes. *sighs* But if we give her time to prepare, she'll be able to think of more. *smirks slightly* So we'll just use one of her own tactics against her.
8/19Coming to peoples houses uninvited? *chuckles*
8/19*grins just slightly* Exactly. *turns to walk out the door*
8/19Well, while you do that, I'll wake Lily up, and take her measurements *chuckles* Once we're both done, let's get to work on warning the fae, as that seems like a rather pressing matter. That is, if you wish to join me in doing so.
8/19*nods* sounds good with me... I believe I should be not too long. Unless she decides to make it more difficult than it needs to be. *extis the house and flies off*
8/19*shakes Lily's shoulder* It's time to wake up, Lily...
8/19Lily: *jerks about, head lolling to the side* Eh, whatever, 'tis spring...
8/19*continues to try and get Lily awake, this time by having a doll come near with a cold iron weapon* Ohh, no! The dreaded cold iron knight!
8/19Lily: *mutters in sleep* Didn't ya hear? 'tis spring... *releases a few weak danmaku that don't go three feet*

(Sorry, can't decide what to write... SS, or Touhoumon. XD I know where I want to go for both, just can't decide which one to do.)
8/19(Ooo, ooo! Do Touhoumon! You haven't done that in awhile... *pouts*)

*gets annoyed* Maybe fae from this world have a bit in common with those of my world... *gets an evil idea* *trails a finger over Lily's nearest wings* Ohh, what lovely wings~ So soft...!
8/19(I think I can do that, at least for your sake. 614 words from what I was able to get out... Think I can get a good 6k at least by the end of today. Don't expect updates often here, though)

Lily: *jerks up, eyes open* Who be there? I feel lahk Ah'm bein' molested!
8/19(Noted! :3)

Ahh, you finally work up! *grins* So, shall we get to measuring you~?
8/19Lily: Eh, wuzzat? *blinks* Oh, yeah, measurin', right... whatever. Get it over an' done with.
8/19*a swarm of dolls comes by, most of which held tape-measurers* *a pair of dolls held up Lily's skirt, while the other dolls measured her claf and thigh circumfrence, the length of her legs, as well as the circumfrence of her hips and waist* *with all the data collected, the dolls let her skirt fall* Alright, that should be all of the data of that sort. Now, what material would you like, and what style? Ohh, and color, if aplicable.
8/19(Well, after being distracted by a good deal of things, finally get to 1.5k. XD But I've figured out the format for this chapter... And might end up splitting this and the next one into three... We'll see. Gonna have a conversation with Tokiko and Nitori next, after dinner)

Lily: *blushes furiously, looking down* A bit more warnin', lass.... As for all that matter, Ah spose something as unflatterin' as possible. Ah don't want none starin' at mah body, lahk they have been. And in black; what else didja think Ah'd want?
8/19Better to ask than to assume. However, while you do, indeed, have a particularly nice body, I've yet to look at it in such a manner. *Smiles* Now, your wings on the otherhand... They're very, very attractive *giggles and blushes, before getting serious once more* Hrm... How about a baggy pair of jeans? That might take the edge off of your figure, if only just a bit. *smiles*
8/19Lily: *Ignores the compliments, and just instead grunts her approval* At least it tain't some bloody short dress lahk this thing I have on now...
8/19Alright, I'll get started on it right away. *smiles, and has about 100 dolls work as a high-speed loom, and start to make all of the denim needed.
8/19(Ahh! Forgot to respond! XD; It's always interresting when your youkai interact~ ...Such as Koishi and Hina the holy!)
8/19Lily: *watches wearily, staring at her* Though, Ah have ta be askin'... You be a fae, raht? How can ye handle the iron then?
8/19(And don't worry, it should be interesting. Although, this time they'll be interacting less as youkai and more as people... Well, you'll see. And don't worry about it. Just thought you might like status updates.)
8/19Thick handles on the weapons and tools, with a layer of lead under them. *giggles* They make very effective tools for some very specialized jobs, you know?
8/19(*tilts head* But... youkai ARE people, if you ask me! XD)
8/19Lily: Aye, ah can imagine that they are. Still, seems a mite bit dangerous. Lahk settin' yeself on fire to get in a fistfight with someone
8/19(Well, I've a slightly different view. :P Would you mind if I take a break to explain the way I come from all this? It might help explain why my youkai are as they are.)
8/19(Sure! XD)

Well, they ARE for cutting off my arm, well, mostly for that. Never know when I might offend Yuuka, too... Which is why I'm prepared for that.
8/19Lily: Yer bleedin' arm? Why be ye wanting ta cut that off? Sounds like a bunch of madness ta me.

(Well, it's more like I try to assume that the youkai are a product of some sort of environment, at least the true youkai. Hence why I turned Patchouli into the actual library, as that made her a true youkai, instead of a magician as Alice is. Seeing how youkai are transformed from one species to a more human like form, they carry over some of the aspects of their old form.

Hence, why my Wriggle is so sociable, as I based a lot of that behavior on social insects always doing their duty, and wanting to interact. Now, say I wanted to try and make a romance story with Wriggle (A true story, and not a oneshot) She'd have to learn what it means to love on human terms, not that it was simply an act to reproduce. On the other hand, since she has a body like a human, she might have human urges and not be able to explain it.

Digressing, I find it folly to treat anything not human as a human, strictly. The gods on the mountain are either fading away, and jaded with humanity, or they are ascendant and certain of their superiority. They have a superiority complex, and think themselves above humans, since they can do what humans are unable to.

Corollary to all that, this is why I've had Satori and Parsee come off so harshly. They had to be sentenced to the underground for a reason, after all. And as Satori said, why did she manipulate humans as she did? Because she could, and because she knew better, as she was 'more' than a human was.

However, to treat them correctly, you have to treat them more humanely. Small distinction, but if you want a youkai to stop acting like an animal and instead act like a person, you have to treat them like a person. A bit of an oxymoron the whole thing is, but I stand by the point. It would take time, but if a youkai wants to be like a human, they will eventually be, given the chance. But some don't want to be human, as they would rather stay as monsters, and they'd rather be youkai.

Tough row to hoe, making the youkai seem approachable, and yet inhuman, eh?)
8/19(*shrugs* I make them both like whatever youkai they are, and yet very... I won't say human-like, as that'd make them almost always evil, in my world, but... I suppose it's an odd sort of thought-process. For instance, my Rumia had eaten every human she could, before she met Mima, and she was so... interesting. She wasn't afraid of her. She wasn't afraid of what she did. She did realise that Rumia could run faster than her, and so made small-talk, as she had no hope to escape. And that's what saved her life. She have Rumia something new, and so was rewarded.)

My dolls are all made out of my own flesh. It's the most effective material to make them easy to penetrate with a bit of my soul. Ahh, denim's done. I suppose it's time to sew it up, and make them perfect. *smiles and has the dolls begin to cut the cloth, sew the parts together double-up on the stitching, and add a few choice bits of metal in the expected locations*
8/19(Aye. I suppose it's just a difference of values. Plus, your humans are such bastards, that there is nobody to root for. And what humans they are become youkai. I'm trying to make it so that everyone has its bad and good side... I don't know if I've succeeded though.

Although, I'll give you a hint in Touhoumon that is on this line of thought. When he encounters the main antagonist of the story, she will actually completely approve of what Gray has done, because it syncs with her values. And he is ashamed that she approves of him)

Lily: *raises her eyebrows* Granted, ah've not much in the mind of that, but it seems a wee bit, dicey. What have ye shoved your soul into, if that is but the easiest?
8/19Clay, steel, stone, some human bones that I found, cloth, cow flesh, horse flesh, sheep, pig, and even youkai flesh, once. Have yet to try wood, and hope not to find any human flesh to try it on.
8/19Lily: Ya know, that gives me a funny thought... Does the target have to be dead for ye ta do that? Sounds lahk that needs not be a requirement...
8/19I could probably invade the body of another, but it'd probably be far too... well, sinister, for my taste.
8/19( You know... that gives me a story idea for ya, if you want it)

Lily: Hrm... Ah wonder... *raises her eyebrow* Ya think that ya could find the source of mah corruption? Ya might be able to make it better for me... Fix this whole thing, and at least get rid of the compulsions...
8/19(Sure! XD)

Corruption? ...What sort of compulsions?
8/19Lily: This here... form. All these constant prattlings about spring... Ah'm not completely free from the glamour. Perhaps ya could see if ya could cut the strings that bind me.

(Crazy Alice going on to subjugate Marisa, as if she won't love her willingly, she will love her on her own terms. Preferably before she becomes a fairy, as that might make it easier. Or whatever you want to do.)
8/19(Sounds good! XD)

Well, I can try, but... I guarentee nothing. Ohh, and your pants are done.
8/19Lily: Aye, thank ye, lass. But let's get this done, first. Ah want ya ta try... at least tha way, ya won't get ya handywork all messed up.

(And here comes Alice's choice... And do you want to write it, or me? :P)
8/19*produces ten strands of silver, which twist into something like a stinger* Brace yourself; this may hurt.
8/19Lily: *closes her eyes and nods* Hit me, lass.
8/19*stabs at her with the silver cord* *the bit of soul painlessly penetrates her, but causes a burning sensation within her soul*
8/19Lily: *eyes dilate as she leans her head back, vacantly staring into the ceiling*
8/19(Now, we'll see what happens... Will she remove the curse, or twist it to serve her... Or do nothing?)
8/19*a silver light begins to was over her soul, like water, or maybe acid, as it's quite painful* Mmn... It's deeper... *the silver liquid concentrates into a cord once more, and stabs directly into Lily's soul, searching for the source*
8/19Lily: *gurgles, as a smile twists on her face* Spring...
8/19*once deep within, begins to search it out, causing a slight, temporary corruption where ever she looks*
8/19Lily: *grimaces once as her face tightens* Spring... Spring...
8/19*Thinks she finds the root, but nothing more, so touches it with a single cord*
8/19Lily: .... *keeps opening her mouth, but stops speaking*
8/19*destroys the source of the root, but the roots remain* *pulls out* ...W-well... *pants*
8/19Lily: *slowly opens her eyes* Hello... Alice. I feel... odd...
8/19Odd in what... w-way...?
8/19Lily: L-like I should be calling you... mistress? *tilts her head* For some reason, it feels right...
8/19...Crap... I must have messed up, somehow... What about being a Lily? How are you feeling in that regard...? *mentally beats herself up*
8/19Lily: *tilts her head* I remember what a Lily is, but that doesn't feel like my name, Mistress. *watches her cringe* What is wrong? Have I said something?
8/19D-don't call me mistress... Alice is fine. When the other Alice gets back, we'll see about fixing this... For now, why don't you try on your pants?
8/19Lily: As you wish. *quickly pulls the pants on, buttoning them without complain* How do you think they look?
8/19ghh... They hide your curves well enough...
8/19Lily: *tilts her head* Does that please you?
8/19*pinches the bridge of her nose* Yes. It does. Because you asked for it to do that...
8/19Lily: *smiles* I'm glad it does! *suddenly twitches her head to the side* Wait a moment... Why am I glad it does?
8/19(Grah... And this is why I shouldn't watch a tv show while typing. I completely lost my train of thought, having not done anything for an hour. XD)
8/19...Continue to think like that. Keep thinking in the way that thinking like that makes you glad. Please...
8/19*grins at her* Why should I listen to you? I'll do anything I damn well please.
8/19Good! *smiles happily* I'm glad you're back to normal... I was afraid I made you worse! So, how are the jeans~?
8/19Eh, they're comfortable, and I don't feel like my ass is hanging out in the middle of the air for people to gawk out, so I like 'em. *gives her a look* You didn't sneak any peeks while I was out, did you?
8/19Why would I...? I've no real interest in most of your body. *smiles warmly*
8/19*nods* Good, I'm glad that you didn't. *crosses her arms to cover herself* So, what did you find in there?
8/19I destroyed the source, but... To remove the roots would either be impossible, or lethal. I think you're stuck like that... Sorry.
8/19That'd be too much to ask for, I think. Still, I'm just glad I don't remember what I was before... then it'd be awkward. *flaps up into the air, unconsciously showing off her wings*
8/19*blushes and enjoys the show greatly* I-I suppose...
8/19(Wing fetish?)

*flaps again and looks at her* What's wrong with you, hrm?
8/19(My fae have sex mostly by rubbing their wings together, or licking/sucking them, remember? XD)

U-umm... *blushes* It's... I-it's just that you keep stretching your wings about, so sexily... *blushes brighter, and looks away*
8/19(Oh yeah! XD Well, this will be interesting)

*raises her eyebrow, before turning back around and hiding the wings* Really? I hadn't imagine that would be such an important distinction for you. *snorts* Be glad you took the compulsions out of me, though, or I'd be taking advantage of this, probably.
8/19*Blush brightens, and mumbles* Why should I be glad...? *Starts talking normally again* It, umm... Apparently it feels really, really nice to the fae of my world... *looks away* Atleast, that's what I've heard... Plus, they look so... attractive...
8/19REally? So, your kind have sex by... rubbing their wings together? *raises her wings back up, flapping them once to test her reaction*
8/19*blushes slightly and nods* Y-yeah...
8/19*starts to rub her own wings up, in an attempt to get a reaction out of them, but fails in the process*
8/19Y-y-you shouldn't start masturbating in other peoples houses, y-you know...
8/19*freezes, and lowers her hands* Sorry, I was just testing to see if it worked like that for us. Not much of an effect.
8/19...Really...?
8/19*nods* it felt like I was rubbing my arm. Nothing particularly exciting about that.
8/19*drags a finger over her own arm, out of curiosity* *shivers in a slight amount of pleasure*
8/19*raises an eyebrow* Heightened sensitivity? Or perhaps since you were making the comparison, you were expecting it to?
8/19*blushes and shrugs* I don't know, honestly...
8/19you're asking the wrong girl, lass. But, you should mind your eyes, then. There are lots of creatures that have wings here, feathered and non.
8/19*Smiles* I know! It's so great... *giggles playfully*
8/19*narrows her eyes* You're just a little perve, aren't you? No wonder what you'll do with all of these dolls.
8/19*blushes, showing that she probably has done something along those lines*
8/19Hrmph. Perhaps I should just find someone you can spy on. At least you'll not get your jollies of of me.
8/19Ahah, no, that's fine. *giggles* ...I wonder what's taking Alice...?

-

Doll: *pops head out of apron and looks around*
8/19Marisa: ...I know, Alice, you've told me many times already. I used you, I admit. abused your trust, more than the borrowing did. I stole your heart, if only in friendship, for purely selfish reasons. I'm sorry... But I really do think of you as a friend, even through all that grief. What more can I say?
8/19Doll: *pops head back in the apron*

-

Alice: Jeez, she's still at Marisa's place...? Ahh, that reminds me, would you like to go with us, when we're warning the four avatars of the Lily threat?
8/19Lily: *shrugs* fine by me. the less Lily's that there are, the better.
8/19Alright! *smiles* ...Tea? I can't think of a better way to pass the time, honestly...
8/19*nods and returns her smile* I could always go for a darjeeling...
8/19*Giggles* Alright, I'll have a pot ready in a moment. This time, there will also be some crumpets involved, as I started baking some a short while ago.
8/19But you've been here the whole- *blinks* Right, dolls. but Can't say that I've ever had crumpets... are you a foreign fae?
8/19I'm from another world, in another world, hidden on another outside world... Makai, to be exact, would be where I'm from. I'm the daughter of the goddess of that place, Shinki. Her only true child... *smiles* I miss her very much.
8/19Makai... Makai... *scratches her chin* Familiar, but at the same time, not. Makes me wonder... but shouldn't that make you a demigod, at least?
8/19*shrugs* Probably, yeah. Ahh, tea's done. *smiles* Crumpets will be done shortly.
8/19*sighs* got to deal with enough of the bloody things here... *shakes her head, and tries to not be grumpy.* thank you though.
8/19*giggles* It's not like I really even attempt to be a goddess. Heck, I usually just forget about being able to beconsiddered one.
8/19Why not? Would you prefer trying to rule? *tilts head* And the power you could potentially have...
8/19*shugs* Yes, I'd get stronger faster, but I'd still be able to grow just as strong... That's just how fae are, in my world. It's just that the more ancient ones, such as Shinki, or the Daiyousei, have gravitated towards such roles.
8/19(G'night~)
8/19(good night)
8/19(Ohh, you're still there! XD)
8/19(Thought you exited, stage right~ ;P)
8/19(nah, not yet. Just been in a convo with someone I haven't spoken to in months. XD)

Eh, whatever you say, lass. Ain't like we got any strong enoough her to try for the title. The gods themselves are terrifying enough as it is. And I'd hate it if one of those tricksters ascended so far.

(plus, I'd have gone stage left. :P)
8/19(Hehe~)

I can imagine... Ahh, crumpets are done, now. I suppose we should go and eat and drink, hmm? *smiles* Wouldn't want to let them get cold, and such.
8/19I suppose... *flaps into the kitchen the whole way, putting her wings on display as she fetches them*
8/19*blushes, and follows behind*
8/19*flies over to the kitchen, and fetches the tray of crumpets from the dolls*
8/20*every doll has a slight blush as well*
8/20Here ya go... And since your dolls seem to be standing around, I suppose I can go and fetch the tea for you. *does just that*
8/20*takes the tray, and carries it to the table from before, watching the lovely wings with all of the dolls that are within range of them*
8/20*carries the tea tray over, before setting a cup and pouring* Ya know I can feel every single eye that's on me, aye?
8/20*blushes* S-sorry... It's just, well... It's rare to see such nice wings - even the Lily White from my world doesn't have wings that compare... Honestly, most wings aren't that great looking, when you get right down to it.
8/20*raises her brow* Why do you say that, lass? A wings a wing, far as I'm concerned.
8/20They're spotless, pure in color, look as soft as down, are a cute size, a cute shape, and they have a lovely scent. *chuckles* Not that I've gone out of my way to smell them, as the scent does linger...
8/20*shrugs* Glad ya like 'em. Didn't take ya for a girl that likes black... But it's just the way I was made. Designed to be perfect, and all that.
8/20A perfect design can only go so far... Propper grooming takes it further. *smiles*
8/20Grooming..? *stretches her feathers out* I suppose so, but I don't do much of anything to them.. unless they get noticeably dirty
8/20Exactly... Many don't even do that, as fae from my gensoukyo don't truely fly in the same sense as other winged creatures. Flapping them just makes us float on the mana in the air. Hard to explain, honestly...

-

*head pops out of apron again*
8/20Alice: I know Marisa, but it's... it's hard. As much as I hate to admit it, I've dome to trust you, to depend on you. How do I know that any of that was real?

Marisa: You don't... *sighs grandly* Dammit, Alice, there's no way I can prove this. But... if you're going to hate me for this... can you go. Please? I can't stand...

Alice: I'm leaving, then. *pauses for a moment* But I'm taking you with me.
8/20*head pops back down again*

-

Finally, Alice is on her way back... Best I brew another pot~ *smile, and does not that can be seen in this room*
8/20(Huh? Does not that can be seen?)
8/20(I... Don't know...)

Correction: *smiles and has her dolls make the tea, while doing nothing*

(I think it's time for bed! XD; )
8/20(Ahah, I was about to head off myself! :P Need your beauty sleep?)
8/20(Hehe, maybe~)
8/20(I mean, it's better than ugly sleep, right?)
8/20(Also your turn here! XD)
8/20(*shrug* I guess I'll continue...)

And she's bringing Marisa, it seems...
8/20Marisa: Alright, I'll come, but you've never said.

Alice: No, I haven't. You'll find out in a bit.

-

Lily: Lovely... I'd rather not eat one of her sparks again. Rather painful, are they not?
8/20They're the whole reason I gave my dolls reflective shields... I mean, the shields are usually destroyed after a few of them, but they protect very well against sparks.
8/20iLily: Eh, I'd have to carry a shield larger than myself if I wanted to dodge anything that is a Master spark or bigger. Only the little lasers could be stopped.
8/20Pretty much, yeah...

-

Doll: By the way, I'm making a pot of darjeeling, and have a half-tray of crumpets left for you two.
8/20Marisa: Wah! *stares down at the doll* I forgot you were there. You heard everything that was said?
8/20*shrugs* Everything? No, I wasn't particularly listening. I did, however, pop in to check on the progress of you two, when I started to get a bit worried. *giggles* You two are like a bickering couple...
8/20Alice: ...

Marisa: ...

*both glance at each other, blush and look away. Small smiles tugging on their mouths as they do*
8/20*grins teasingly* A bickering maaaaarried couple~
8/20Alice: *ignores the comment, but grabs Marisa's hand and pulls her through the door to Alice's house, head held up high*
8/20Alice: Hey, Alice. *grins and has the doll float out of the apron, joining the bulk of her force* Tea? *has dolls carry in a fresh pot, and a that's covered in crumpets*
8/20(just imagined a pot covered with crumpets right there)

Alice: I suppose that might suffice.

Kyoto: *peers down from Marisa's hat* Kyo~

Marisa: Gah! When'd you get up there?
8/20(oopsies~)

*giggles* Alright. Take a seat, and we can enjoy these tasty treats. *smiles warmly*
8/20(is good, i knew what you meant. Just made me giggle)

Kyoto: *hops down, and climbs up in a chair, before taking a teacup and looking at Alice expectantly*

Alice & Marisa: *quietly take seats next to her*

Lily: *floats in, lazily flapping her wings*

Marisa: *eyes widen, and her hands shoot into her pocket*
8/20*about 20 dolls form a shield in front of Lily* Marisa, stop. She's not like the others, apparently... Plus, I went into her soul, and fixed her a bit, if only partially...
8/20Marisa: *eyes her cautiously, but slowly removes her hand* If you say so... I've learned not to trust fairies. Devils with pretty smiles, a lot of them are.
8/20Trust is one thing, and pointlessly killing another being is another... You don't have to trust her to not make an attempt to kill her.
8/20And I wasn't going to kill her... immediately. I was merely getting my hakkero ready, just in case.
8/20Riiiight... I mean, heck, I almost accidentally made her into some sort of servant when I was in her soul... Not sure what I did, but I was afraid I'd broken her...
8/20Lily: It's fine, lass. I snapped out of it soon enough. And if I saw another of my kind, I would of done something similar to Marisa here. No harm, no foul
8/20*mumbles* I still don't like seeing my friends treated badly... *has the dolls pour 5 cups of tea*
8/20Alice: Remember what we are to do once we're finished here? Considering we are warning your kind about them... We're paranoid for a reason.
8/20*pouts slightly, before going back to a relative poker face* I hope you two enjoy the crumpets and tea, and do be sure to ask, if you find yourself in need of anything.
8/20Kyoto: Kyo! *points at the tray of crumpets*
8/20And you, too, Kyoto. *smiles, and hands her a crumpet*
8/20Kyoto: *smiles happily and takes it*

Marisa: So, what's this thing that you be needing to do, Alice..s?

Alice: We should be heading out to search for the fae from their world. *shrugs* They seem relatively less hostile in general, depending on which one. We don't want them taken in and corrupted by the ones we have, as their side is more powerful and more numerous.
8/20There are somewhere between 10,000 and 100,000 fae from my world, and we can regenerate in a day from a spark, or a week from a kyuu. The weaker ones have no idea how strong they are, even if they hold not even a candle to the stronger fae. Mama and Daiyousei would be the strongest of fae, while Marisa, Cirno, myself, and the three fae of light would be some of the strong fae.
8/20Marisa: *snorts* The three fairies? That's something I have to see for myself...

Alice: Marisa, not now. The point is, while I have no doubt that we could hold off any... attack by them, if they do decide as such, we should try to nip it in the bud.
8/20The power they can put out when they are together is no laughing matter... They may be weak in some senses, but the power of absolute invisibility is a very powerful one, if used right. Not that they use it right.
8/20Marisa: Well, there's an easy solution for hitting something that you can't see.
8/20(2.5k...)
8/20Only if you know it's there. I doubt you fire in all directions, constantly, and never stop.
8/20Marisa: I'd just use a royal flare. *chuckles* Stole that one from Patchy for a reason...

Alice: *reaches over and slaps her upside the head*
8/20So, is the snack, and tea, to your liking? *smiles*
8/20Alice: *holds up a cup that was empty in lieu of an answer, smiling slightly as she did.*

Kyoto: To~ *lifts up her own partially destroyed crumpet*
8/20*refills Alice's cup, and giggles at Kyoto's actions* I'm glad you like them.
8/20Alice: Thank you much, Alice. But all this talk has made me wonder something... IF Gensokyo has been combined into two, perhaps the same is true for Makai?
8/20...That's a good question, actually... Furthermore, would the gate be seal? Unsealed? ...Both? ...Now I'm curious... I suppose we'll find out, if we go and see, once the fae have been warned of... of the fae.
8/20Marisa: *snickers* Now that sounds amusing. Like some bad movie thing that Kourin keeps in his shop.
8/20*shrugs* If you say so...
8/20Marisa: I do! *pauses* Wait, if there are two of them, are they going to end up competing against each other for sells?
8/20*raises eyebrow* Sales? Sales of what...?
8/20(oops)

Marisa: Kourin sells anything from the other side that he can get his hands on! Granted, it's mostly a big junkpile... Which means it's perfect for my junkpile! *shrugs* And I know that some of the kappa visit him for stuff, too.
8/20Ohhhhhhhh, you mean't Kourindou... I thought you meant Mama! *giggles* Made me think of that rogue travel agency from 15 years ago, give or take.
8/20Marisa: Yeah! Rinnosuke's place! but I just call him Kourin. Annoys him to death.
8/20*sips some tea* Do you think he has bolts of cloth?
8/20Marisa: Depends. It's gotta be something that is at the least unused in the outside. Far as I know, they still use cotton. Course, they might have other stuff. Ya just gotta go there and look.
8/20Hrm... Things that aren't in use anymore, ehh? Alright, I'll keep that in mind. So, are you four about ready to go?
8/20Kyoto: Kyo~

Lily:Been ready for a while.

Alice: *sets down her cup* Now I am.

Marisa: *glances at Alice* Whenever she's ready.

Kyoto: Kyoto!

Alice: You've already been counted once, dear.

Kyoto: Ky~
8/20*giggles* Alright, let's go, I suppose... I suppose we should start with one of the easier ones to locate; Daiyousai lives in the garden of the sun, and that's closer than Youkai Mountain, Old Hell, or Mt. Shiro... *dolls begin to swarm from within a number of hiding spots, and head out the windows*
8/20Alice: Yes, but we're assuming that everything is in the same place. Some locations may never have carried over. *nods with her* But a few acres of sunflowers is easy to spot.
8/20Mt. Shiro is going to be a hard one, if it's moved... from what I've heard, it's inside of a barrier, and is quite invisible as such
8/20Marisa: *begins to grin suddenly*

Alice: No, that doesn't mean you can randomly go blasting air until you hit it.
8/20It wouldn't work anyways... Yukari made the barrier to in a way that displaces things that hit it. You can walk through it, and yet still not get in. We either need to wait for the... full moon, or ask Yukari for help... However, this is all stuff I gathered from listening in on Marisa talking about it, so it's not a 100% guarentee.
8/20Alice: And we know how reliable a source of information that she is.

Marisa: I'm standing right here!

Alice: We know you are. Just be a dear and smile and nod, will you?
8/20In her defense, the Marisa from my world did return everything the first time she died... A-anyways, shall we head out?
8/20Marisa: Sure, sure... But are you sure you want to be taking that doll along with you, Alice? Doesn't look like she's made for combat.

Kyoto: *shakes her fist at Marisa* Kyo'to'~!
8/20*giggles* She has a point... Is she made for combat? Or is she just a pretty face?
8/20Alice: She's not rated for anything, I suppose... It'd be for the best to just stay here.

Kyoto: *rushes over to Marisa and grabs her by the leg* To!
8/20Heh, it seems she took offense to Marisa's observation.
8/20Alice: Fine, you can come. But if you get into trouble, you know whose fault it is.
8/20I'll be sure to keep her well protected. *chuckles* I mean, I've my entire army waiting outside, and they can't be too far from me, or my soul seperates from them anyways....
8/20Alice: At least that's better than your soul separating from you, then.
8/20True enough...
8/20Marisa: *takes to the air on her broom, before staring down at the others* So, are we getting this show on the road or what?
8/20*happily gives Kyoto a piggy-back* *flutters her wings, taking to the air with ease* I'm ready as can be~ *all 500 salute*
8/20Kyoto: Kyoto! *flaps her arms happily

Lily: *spreads her wings and waits silently*

Alice: *sighs and also lifts into the air, Shanghai, Hourai, and Moscow joining the three.

(I just realized that if everyone speaks, I now have 7 chars. XD)
8/20(XD)

*flys off into the sky, a formation of the dolls surounding her while about 50 scout ahead, in all directions*
8/20Marisa: *whispers to Alice* You know, that isn't exactly what I would call subtle

Alice: And since when are you subtle?

Marisa: I'm not. But you usually are.
8/20I'd rather know where all threats are than risk being snuck up on, honestly.
8/20Marisa: If you say so. But they'll know we're coming... Which I suppose is the point. *glances down, spotting the edge of a yellow field*
8/20(Ok, we're finally on the way at 6k words. Next part I'll do is storming the base, which shouldn't be too long... But first, Imma get me a cuppa, and blow stuff up for a while. I need a break. XD)
8/20I for one wouldn't want to make daiyousei jump... That's a good way to get a spark to the face! *sends the 50 to search the field, being sure to watch the direction of the suzuran, especially*
8/20Lily: *spots a glimpse of movement on the nameless hill* Oi! Down there!
8/20*8 dolls put on black and white witch hats, and begin to charge up lasers* Where!? Who?!
8/20Lily: On the nameless hill... Can't tell from this distance... *squints as she tries to get a better look.*

(Ok, blown up enough stuff. writing shall commence soon. Please wait warmly)
8/20*sends a scout, with a gasmask* Hrmm... I see...
8/20Medicine: Su-saaan, where are you... *glances about, spotting the doll* There you are! Why are you over- *stops* Wait, you're not Su-san...
8/20Ohh, great... It's medicine... Time to hide. *has 100 of the dolls form a shield wall, and makes the front of the shields begin to distort light, and seem as though nothing were there, so long as nobody went out from behind it*

Doll: H-hi... Sorry, I didn't mean to trick you into thinking I was your friend... Umm, if you'd like, I can go... I was just a bit curious, when I saw someone in a field of flowers.

*mass of shields slowly moves, distorting light as it goes* *whispers* Stay behind the shields, and make sure not to fall behind...
8/20Lily: *smirks and fades from sight, not saying a word*

Marisa&Alice: *follow closely behind the two, Marisa holding up her own hakkero just in case*

Medicine: No, you stay here, until I find Su-san. Then we can think of what to do with you. *calls out once more* Suuu-saaaaan....

*a doll appears out from the plants, before floating over to Medicine and staring at the doll. Suddenly, she dart forward, holding the doll in porcelain fingers while she examines it*
8/20(7k...)
8/20Doll: Umm... W-what... What is it...?
8/20Su-san: *tilts her head, before a frown mars the dolls face, and she forces the poison's in the little doll's liver into its bloodstream*
8/20Alice: *covers mouth, and starts to silently scream in pain, twitching slightly*

Doll: *eyes go wide* W-why... *feels pain wrack her body in so many ways, but stays concious*
8/20Su-san: You are not one of her dolls... What have you done with her?

Alice: *immediately goes over to her, trying to see what is wrong* *whispers* Alice...?
8/20Doll: Noth...ing... She... she's... right beside... me... B-before my... so much... pain... b-before... my doll dies... ...Are you... th-the one from... Makai...? Her... doll? The... the gift from... her mama...?

Alice: *pants in horrible pain* Por...ceilein... doll. It... it think's... I've done som... something to... you... *breathes raggedly* I'm... I'm asking... if it's... yours...

Doll2: *quietly plays message, and gets ready to play what Su-san says back to Alice*
8/20(8k!)

Su-san: *blinks at her words, before looking up, searching for something. Feeling the poison nearby, she points at the group, whispering loudly* Medicine, be prepared to gas them.

Medicine: Ok, Su-san! *grins happily and begins to rise*

Alice: Wait... wait wait. Are you saying that the doll might be... be... Vina?
8/20Alice: *puts on a gasmask for just such occasions, and seperates the soul from the dolls body, after giving Su-san a distracting slap with said lifeless doll* move. We have to move, now. *has every doll put on a gas-mask, and save for one that puts its mask on Kyoto, instead of itself, and retreats to Alice's side* And holding your breath at any point you start to feel dizzy or in pain... those may be a good idea.

???: My, what would it be that's going on here? The flowers don't seem to like what's going on here... Care to explain~?

Alice: ...Great... This'll either become a far less deadly situation, or far more deadly...

dolls: * the witch dollshum with energy, and the many normal dolls disperse, so as to both keep from dieing, and to work as a detection system for poison*

Doll in Su-san's gasp: Self destruct in 3, 2...
8/20Kyoto: Kyo? *fiddles with the mask on it*

Alice: *stays where she is, staring down at the doll*

Marisa: Alice, we have to go... *tries to tug on her, but she stays still*

Medicine: Well, Su-san? Just waiting for the word.

Su-san: *stares down at the doll, and tosses it away, before looking up at them*
8/20*The doll stops couting, seemingly having had stopped exploding, but now has armed itself as a land-mine, just waiting for someone to get curious about why it didn't explode*

*the dolls shields are aimed away from reflecting the sun at the doll pair, waiting for a hint of hostility with steely glares*

???: Well~? *grins*
8/20Alice: *flies out of the shield, and towards the doll* Vina? Is that... is that you... I didn't know... you're alive?

Su-san: *flinches and backs away slightly* I don't know. are any dolls that you create alive?

Marisa: *watches with bated breath, continuing to ignore the voice*
8/20???: I'm waaaaitiiing~

Alice: *watches, her hands trembling on the lances that her many bodies hold*
8/20Alice: *drops her head* No... not truly. I've been trying so hard, and they're real enough, but they're still puppets. *looks back up at the doll* But you look so much like Vina did... She never came to life. I just remember playing with her as a young girl, when she was just a doll.

Su-san: *mutters sarcastically* I am your greatest success Alice. You brought me to life when you opened that book to create your own little world.

Medicine: *falters, and stares incredulously at the doll.

Alice: *drops from the air, as if her strings had been cut* I don't... don't remember. How did I...

Su-san: Because you ran away, and chose to forget. you left grandma, you left your home, you left your first-born... And for what? Wooden fakes that are not even alive?

Alice: *begins to shake in place as the memories start to come back* No...
8/20???: ...Hello...? *not used to being ignored*

*watches silently, letting the two speak*
8/20(I can imagine Yuuka/Dai just giving us the oddest look, thinking 'why are you making me want to kill you?')

Su-san: No, you are no mother of mine. You abandoned me once... I'm not taking the chance you'll do it again.

Alice: *begins to openly weep, as she remembers* Vina... Please, no... Stay...

Su-san: *Turns around, and begins to float away*

Kyoto: Kyo! *jumps from her perch on tiny Alice, flying into the ground before landing on her feet. Staring up at Su-san, she shouts out* Kyo! To-to-ky-toyo!

Su-san: *looks back at the wooden doll, and snorts* Is this your only attempt to take me back? To make me feel sorry for the little block of wood?
8/20???: ...So this is what being ignored is like... It's so... peaceful...

Doll1: *the grizzled first doll pats her on the shoulder*

???: You know that feeling, huh?

Doll1: *nods*

Alice: *doesn't notice that her doll is acting on its own, due to watching what's going on*
8/20Kyoto: Ky! *steps closer, her hands going to her own neck* Ky... kyo...

Su-san: Can't even have them properly speak... What kinda dollmaker are you?

Kyoto: To... ky-to... kiy-tor... kis-ter... Sister.... *eyes open wide* Sister! P-please! D-don't leave mama hurting l-like this-to!

Alice: *just watches blankly, not believing what she's seeing*

Su-san: *immediately falls, also staring at the little doll* What... what did you say...

Kyoto: *smiles at her* Come home, please... To all of us-to... *takes another step closer*

Su-san: *starts freezing up at the doll*
8/20Alice: *prepares for the worst potential outcome, all of her dolls' knuckles gripping their lances to the point of turning white.
8/20Kyoto: *finally steps up to Su-san, and pulls her into a hug*

Su-san: *stays rigid for a few seconds, until a tear leaks out of her eye* I... I...

Kyoto: Shh... It's alright sister... You can come home...
8/20Alice: This went better than expected... *still stays on guard, ready to swoop in*
8/20Su-san: *breaks down into tears, pulling her close*

Kyoto: *smiles a bit, tearing up on her own*

Medicine: Su-san? What's wrong? Are they hurting you?

Su-san: No, Medicine, they're not...

(spellchecking...)
8/20Alice: ... *turns to Yuuka* Hey, Yuuka?

Yuuka: *gasps* Y-yeah? *was getting used to being ignored*

Alice: I'm not sure how best to tell her, so you do it, okay, Lily?

Yuuka: ...You aren't the Lily I know, are you? You seem... different, in a number of ways...
8/20(And done)

Lily: *appears in front of her* No, I'm not. I am... 'was' Lily the Black... Well, first, how much do you know about the merger? *notes the doll floating beside Yuuka*

Kyoto: *steps away from her, tilting her head* Vina, come back. Everything will be-

Doll laying on the ground: *clicks as explosives activate*

Su-san: *realizes what is going on, and pushes Kyoto to the side as the explosion rips through the air and into her*

Alice: *immediately starts running forward* VINA!

Medicine: *starts flying towards her* SU-SAN!
8/21(Err... Drama turning a bit... awkward, due to Alice not using explosives in her dolls anymore. Too easy to blow up, in such a tiny body*

*The explosion was just a harmless smoke bomb*

Yuuka: *cough* Little. The *coughs and fans the smoke away* The fields have doubled in size, and I met some poltergeist that was a bit different than normal.

Medicine: ...I feel as though I've missed something... *watches from a distance, even if it's not a very windy day*

Alice: ...I'm really glad my dolls aren't highly explosive anymore...
8/21(Hey! I was trying to be dramatic! And then Alice could have put Su-san back together again... :P Besides, I just saw landmine and went with it *munches on his cheese*)

Su-san: *coughs, and stands up, having tripped and fallen over* Well... That could have been worse...

Kyoto: *grins at her* But at least you can admit it now that you want us to be ok.

Alice&Medicine: *reach the two at the same time, and glare at each other*

Lily: Well, the two have merged, and everyone from both worlds is trying to figure out where they stand... But I'm just here to warn about the fae from my world. The Lily's are like a virus, able to corrupt anyone into becoming one of them.
8/21(Heh, plus, it's for safety! An explosive doll possibly sitting there, waiting to be picked up, always ends badly. And you proved that point! XD)

Dai: Duely noted.

Yuuka: Indeed. We shall work on warning the fae some time today. Wouldn't want any un-needed casualties.

Alice: *picks up the exploded doll, and puts it in her pocket, having the other one fly out, now that it seems safe*

Dolls: *takes off gasmasks, sheathes lances in shields, and places it back on their back*

Doll1: *returns to acting exactly as should*
8/21(*snickers* Oh well. Plan b)

Lily: Oh, and that's not to mention what Daiyousei wants to do... *watches the doll moreso* You know, you weren't acting like that a moment ago.
8/21Doll1: Ehh? *tilts head* What do you mean, Lily...?
8/21Lily: You were whispering to Yuuka just a second ago.

(Btw, good night. Shleepy)
8/21*Yuuka and Dai take opposite directions of the doll*

Yuuka: Was she? I was just talking to myself~

Dai: *whispers in Lily's ear* She wants to keep it quiet for now.

Doll1: Ehh? No I wasn't... *raises brow*
8/21Lily: ... *closes her eyes* I must have been mistaken then.
8/21Doll1: And here I was, thinking you had gone mad, Lily...

Alice: It's good that you haven't, though.
8/21Lily: They may call me crazy but it keeps me from going insane.
8/21*chuckles* But you seem far too nice to call crazy...
8/21Lily: You have to wonder, sometimes... Especially considering what they've done to me... And when you almost turned me into a servant.
8/21I didn't mean to... S-sorry... A-atleast everything turned out alright, and I still did end up fixing you up some, r-right...?
8/21Lily: *smiles at her* Don't worry, I feel much better thanks to you. Just don't grope my wings in my sleep, ok?
8/21*Blushes at the thought* O-okay! *smiles*
8/21Meanwhile...

Medicine: Su-san is 'my' friend! You can't take her away from me!

Su-san: Medi-

Alice: She was mine originally. I don't want to go any longer without Vina-

Su-san: *sighs* Ma...
8/21Medicine: *Shouts from a distance* Why don't you both take her! You could travel together, if only for a time!

Alice: ...Ehh? *jumps from the sudden yelling*
8/21Medicine: But she's not a proper doll, like the rest of us.

Alice: *raises up the wooden hand of hers*

Medicine: .... Oh.
8/21(Heh, good use of the wooden hand!)

Medicine: how'd that happen...? It's not an easy thing to end up like that, I'm sure... *cloth doll floats up to, and lands on her shoulder*
8/21Alice: *watches them for a moment, before answering* It was because of the Grimoire... it was stolen, and I was transformed completely into a doll. But I couldn't move.

Medicine: *under breath* Serves her right...

Su-san: *slaps Medi* None of that, now. But how did you get her back?

Medi: *shakes her head, and glances at Medicine* She's abusive, isn't she evil twin?

(It's becoming quite useful! I think it's gonna become canon, actually...)
8/21(Heh, sounds good! XD I can imagine that quest ending well, with everyone shut-up/happy!)

Alice: That's sure a lot of medicine...

Medicine: You should feel bad about that pun... You really should.
8/21Lily: You might say that it's *pulls a pair of shades out of nowhere* Medicine for Melancholy.
8/21Alice: *giggles* Yeah! (Had to make it still work! XD)

Medicine: That was so funny that I'm considering releasing Dimethylheptylpyran...

Yuuka: Ah-ah-ahh, no knocking people out. They obviously need to warn others, correct?

Medicine: ...Fine...
8/21Kyoto: *flies up and kicks Lily and other Alice in the shin* You're really ruining the moment, you know that?

Su-san: *has flown over to inspeact every inch of Alice for other parts that may be wooden*
8/21Alice: *hops on one foot* Oww, oww, owwww! *rubs shin* Wooden feet really, really hurt!
8/21Su-san: *finishes her inspection, before slapping Alice* That's for doing that to yourself. *slaps her again* And that's for what you've done all this time. Come, Medi. It seems we can't leave her to herself anymore.

Medi: Fiine... But away from the suzuran?

Su-san: Yes, Medi. We must.

Alice: *rubs her cheek, before glancing at her* Thank you, Vina.

Su-san: *blushes, but remains silent*
8/21Alice: Jeez, what's next...? I sure have some bad luck today... Maybe we should go see Aki, and I can hope to find Hina...
8/21Lily: *removes her sunglasses* I do hope you mean yours... our curse goddess is decidedly less... benign.
8/21Alice: Noted.
8/21*as they speak, there is a flash of light in the distance over the Youkai Mountain, followed by a short shockwave and clash of thunder*
8/21Alice: ...That doesn't seem good...
8/21Marisa: *floats in, having just watched the whole thing* No, it did not... *watches the storm clouds start gathering above the mountain* Probably the goddesses... We need to hurry. Alice!

Alice: *shakes herself off and begins to float up* So, are we...?

Su-san: *turns her nose* If only to protect you from yourself... But I'm riding. *flies over and sits on Alice's head*
8/21*flutters wings, and takes to the air* If everyone's ready, let's go! *flys towards the mountain*

Medicine: Goodbye, everyone. *a gust of wind hits her, spraying poison on the grass* I'd go with you all, but, well... yeah. That never goes well.

Yuuka: Have fun~ Ta-ta~

Dai: See ya. Good luck, as I think you may need it...
8/21Medicine: *tilts her head at her copy* Why not? I'm going, and I poison just as well.

Alice: Coming... *scoops Kyoto up in her arms and takes off, Su-san on her head cross-legged*

Marisa: *follows behind them all, itching now that they might be getting in a fight*
8/21Medicine: Because I actually care if I poison others. I doubt that you do, especially if it ends up being Alice. No need for another health risk to be around them...
8/21Medicine: Why would I care about poisoning people? *flies after Su-san anyways*

Lily: We'll be lucky if the Hakurei doesn't attack us.
8/21Medicine: *shakes head, watching them fly off into the distance*
8/21Lily: *turns to Medi and Su-san* So, I suppose I'll need to keep an eye for your counterparts, hrm?
8/21Yuuka: Hmm... Why don't you join them, Dai~?

Dai: Ehh?

Yuuka: Ohh, don't be like that - you know that I know that you know what I'm thinking.

Dai: Ugh... Fine... *flits after the group, slowly catching up to them*
8/21Lily: Oi! Wait up for me! *begins to flap to catch back up to the group, leaving Yuuka and the other Medi and Su-san behind*
8/21Yuuka: Hrm... a 50/50 split of my part of the power should be fine for now... Enjoy yourself, Dai~ Ohh, and you can come out now, Marisa...

Marisa: How the hell do you alwa-

Yuuka: You're a fae now. I can see you quite easily, even with that optic camo on~ Does Nitori know you have it~?

Marisa: So... Is Alice okay, ze?

Yuuka: Evading the question? That would be a no, to my question, I suppose... Ohh, and she's fine... Doesn't seem to be madly in love with you anymore, either~

Marisa: Good! Now I can go tail them more directly, and test that theory, da ze~! *flys off on her broom*

Yuuka: *chuckles*
8/21*dramatic music of drama goes here?*

Marisa: *flies along steadily, pulling up next to Alice and co.* So, tell me, how exactly do your gods of the mountain act? I know ours are a mixed bag...

Kyoto: *wriggles out and jumps over to Marisa's broom.* Kyo~

Marisa: *smiles and looks down* I know you can speak, now.

Kyoto: I fail to see your point. *grins as cutely as possible*

(Oh, and I know exactly what is going to happen if your Marisa tries anything)
8/21Alice: *sigh* I wonder what m- the Marisa from my world is doing right now...

Marisa: Aliiiice! *in the distance behind them, and quickly catching up*

Alice: It's almost as though I can hear her...
8/21Alice: *sighs* No, you actually can hear her.

Su-san: You are correct. There is another point of poison approaching us... fairly quickly.

Marisa: Great... My copy that likes to eat people. *sighs* Why couldn't I have a good counterpart like Alice?
8/21Alice: M-marisa? Coming to me without having to be caught? That's...

Marisa: *grins, and puts on the brakes slightly, matching their speed a bit* So I was right after all! You ARE little Alice... Alice, why did you lie...?

Alice: A-aha... I-I was a bit scared...

Marisa: Of?

Alice: W-well... erm... Ahah... Well, at the time, you were... so much bigger... I was afraid you'd hate me for being almost half your height...

Marisa: If anything, that makes you a bit cuter, ze! *furows brow*
8/21(4k)

Alice: *Immediately gets behind Alice, placing her hand on her shoulder* Careful there, Marisa...

Medicine: *slowly floats along, not wanting to get too far from Su-san*

Alice: So, what is it that you want, fae?
8/21Marisa: *shrugs* I guess for Alice to be my friend. I'm too cold now to persue her heart, da ze. *sigh* If she had only not have gone insane after I tried confessing, ze... Maybe if that were the case, I'd still have a body compatable with her.

Alice: Ehh?

Marisa: My body-fluids are like liquid nitrogen, Alice...

Alice: *blushes at the first thought that comes to mind*

Marisa: *chuckles* Yes, those ones too.
8/21Marisa: *leans down to Kyoto and whispers in her ear* Now, even I wouldn't believe that, if I told it...

Alice: *just glares at her, shaking her head* Really? Did you ever try to make your point? Or once she started to pursue you, did you just shrug your shoulders and not worry about it?
8/21Marisa: Yes, and the one time I tried to fix it, I got captured, tied up, thrown into a basement, and had some sort of... life-size love-doll made in the shape of myself, da ze! After that, I stole that doll, and constantly ran from her!

Alice: S-sorry...

Marisa: I mean, all I wanted was make you happy, and then I wound up as your captive... Why do that, ze?

Alice: W-well... I, umm... I was afraid you'd run away...
8/21Alice: *sighs, then looks at Medicine* Was I that bad earlier?

Medicine: *tilts her head, then holds up her hand* so-so.

Lily: *finally catches up to the two* What the... Ice... fairy... Marisa? *glances at the other Marisa.

Marisa: *just shrugs and shakes her head*
8/21Marisa: In the end, all I want is for things to go back to the way they were... I want my friend, and ally, back. Can I?

Alice: I... Why couldn't you? I'd gladly be your friend, Marisa! *grins happily, and gives her a short hug, before backing off due to the cold*
8/21*nobody that is there actually believes her yet*

Alice: *shoots a glare, before floating away, letting Alice lead on* If you are sure about that...
8/21*shrugs* I mean, really, I look to becoming a youkai as a way to replace my love magic - not that I've actually replaced it, ze. I however did double in strength when I gained an actual natural bit of mana... Makes what I had look like nothing, da ze! Though... *grins* I do wonder how keeping your magic under wraps worked for you, other Marisa~
8/21Marisa: Hrm? *blinks, before raising an eyebrow* How exactly do you mean that?
8/21Marisa: Your power source, ze! Love, and all things that are similar to an extent?
8/21Marisa: I just act as I always do. And most everyone likes me to some extent. And even if they love to hate me, that counts too. The only people that wouldn't are those that only tolerate me.

Alice: And you're going to come clean to them all, aren't you Marisa?

Marisa: *freezes, before slowly nodding at her gaze* The ones that care for such things, at least.
8/21Dai: You all... fly too fast...! Took forever to... catch up...!
8/21Lily: Oh, don't you worry. They're probably going to go and take off again in a second.
8/21*In the distance, the air ripples, before a huge barrier starts to crack, revealing a mountain atleast twice as tall as Youkai Mountain, and pure white*

Marisa: ...That can't be good, if the barrier on Mt. Shiro broke...
8/21Marisa: The gods must be fighting. But which ones is the question. *grabs onto Kyoto and speeds ahead of all of the, in order to find out what's going on*
8/21Marisa: *follows close behind, leaving a chilly trail behind her*

Dai: *stares at the mountain* ...And now we've about... I think... 5,000 evil ice fae on our hands... *shakes head* That's never a good thing...
8/21(5.5k... almost to train scene)

Alice: *begins floating along next to Dai* Now, tell me, do you kill them by fire, or do you take away their cold?
8/21(Nice~!)

Dai: *shakes head* They defeated the army of fae of flame, so I doubt that would help... Though, without Sarun- I mean Cirno, to lead them, they atleast will be disorganized... Probably only about 4000 of them will particularly try anything, as about 1000 of them were forced to fight in the war of long ago. They'll likely try and freeze the land over, so getting rid of that won't work so well... The best we can do, unless Yukari helps, is to kill them untill they lose their fighting spirit...

-

Kurumi: ...Ohh, gods, that's... Mt. Shiro...

-

Marisa: Be careful of the ones with more than 2 wings, if we happen upon any ice pixies! Those bastards did a number on me, when I climbed that mountain!
8/21Akyuu: *sighs* It's going to be one of those days, isn't it?

-

Su-san: Hrm... That is unless we have reinforcements. Medicine! Gas whoever they tell you to. And once you're done, gas the entire mountain. And once it clears, gas it again.

Medicine: *bounces happily at the anticipation of genocide*

Su-san: As for me... *leans down and peers down into Alice's eyes* Don't you die on me. *falls forward and onto her face, before shimmering out of reality.
8/21Alice: ...That sounds like it should work... Maybe...

-

Kurumi: Looks like we have an army of evil ice fae, or pixie, as they are called by those in the know, to deal with... Shall we defend the village, or...?
8/21Akyuu: Can we defend on the menfolk of your village to fight it out to the end? *can't keep a straight face*

-

Alice: Yeah... maybe. *looks where Su-san just disappeared* I'll be careful... *immediately takes off, in an attempt to catch up to Marisa

-

Kyoto: Do you see that on youkai mountain? Lighting flashing everywhere.

Marisa: Well that settles it. At least one of the Kanakos is fighting... But with who?
8/21(Why not have Kanako fight with... Kanako? XD)

Kurumu: Well, that depends on if they mean them harm or not... They are very effective against things that mean them no harm! *grins cheekily*

Mima: Oi, you two need help?

Rumia: I think that is so~!

Mima: We were still at the SDM, so we were in the area...

Ani: ...Help in what way?

Rumia: Most~

-

Marisa: Could it be that the Kanakos are fighting eachother...? I mean, I'd imagine that it would come up. Even if there are two youkai mountains, now...

-

Alice: *tries her best to keep up, eventually using her dolls to pull herself along, and then doing the same for Alice, once she starts to pass her* That should help us keep up, so don't mess with them.
8/21(You must be reading my mind. Makes me wonder if I should hide all my perverted thoughts)

(Oh, and 6.5k)

Akyuu: Well, if you could, Would you kindly motivate your town's residents? Convince them that you mean more harm than those pixies coming down from the mountain.

-

Lily: *struggles to flap her wings hard enough to keep up* How can she fly so fast with no wings...

-

Kanako: *tosses a pillar down at her imitator, before sending searing bolts of lightning clashing down on top of her* Begone from this world!
8/21Kanako: I was brought here by HUMANS who wish to pay me TRIBUTE. *pillar pushes out of the ground, stopping it dead, and then makes the bolt dissapate*

-

Dolls: *start to push everyone who's lagging behind forwards, shivering their wings at high speed*

-

Rumia: *grin* Reaaaally? *giggles* What sort of methods may I use~?
8/21Akyuu: 'threats' No breaking the treaty... But make it clear that if they run...

-

Lily: *pouts* That's not fair...

-

Marisa: *finally pulls into sight of the two Kanako* Who do I shoot at, now... They look exactly the same.

Shizuha: *shouts from the ground, having enjoyed the spectacle* Do you have a reason to not shoot both of them?

Kanako: Funny thing is, so did I! *sends her ropes forward, hissing like snakes*

(I imagine the two Suwakos on the ground, eating popcorn and taking bets)
8/21*has a staff-style onabashira stick from the ground, and starts smacking of snakes with ease*

-

Suwako: Man, they really are going at it... Maybe I should hit her over the head with a wok again... That's such an easy way to get her to calm down... ...Naaaah, it can wait.

-

Doll: Ohh, shush, Lily.

-

Rumia: *skin bubbles and boils* Alright~ Eheheh... *happily makes her way through the village about the men coming to the defense of the village, and saying that the punishment for trying to flee is a slow, painful death by way of being disolved in acid*
8/21Akyuu: Remember, only the ones from your village! Ours don't have any problem at all... Right, gentlemen? *glares*

Various Men: *gulp*

-

Shizuha: *walks over to the Suwakos and sits down next to them* Really, that's all it takes?

Suwako: How much does it take to calm Kanako down on this side?

Shizuha: I think it approaches something on the level of a virgin sacrifice

Merlin: Alright, who's volunteering then? I propose Sanae!

Shizuha: Since when did you get here?

Merlin: I've been following your counterpart around! We've been having a lot of fun, haven't we Aki copy? *squeezes the Aki*
8/21Shizuha: *sigh* I'm not a bloody copy! I recken I'm just some alternate version of her from another world...

Suwako: Well, seeing as I calm her down by bashing her over the head with it... She never expects a wok to be a good weapon, you know? The way to her heart is her stomach, and I exploit that in ohhhh so many ways.

Sanae: ...Which is which...? Sanae doesn't know...

Suwako: ...Actually, that's a good question...

-

Rumia: Tomato, tomato~ (That... doesn't work so well in type...)

Mima: ...I think they all look the same to her...
8/21(Go To 'may' to, to 'mah' to. Have to use phonetics)

Merlin: Well, you're not Aki, so you must be a copy! Besides, it rhymes. Aki copy Aki copy. But after this is done, we can go have more fun with your sister!

Sanae: ...Why am I talking in the third person.

Shizuha: *grins cheekily* I'm sure that Sanae knows, doesn't she?

-

Marisa: *spots a group of pixies coming out of the mountain* Alright, here we go... *takes out her Hakkero* For the first round... 「Magic Sign」Orerries Sun!
8/21Sanae: Sanae looked into the red eyed bunny's eyes! Sanae thought they were very pretty...

Suwako: Just be glad she's on her meds, or she might start carving up... just about everyone. The girl's been a bit messed up in the head ever since then...

Kogasa: Well, atleast she's stopped trying to disect me... She's actually quite nice now... *smiles*

-

Marisa: *swats a pixie that gets too close to her with her broom, while easily dodging the danmaku*

(Also, did she ever fix her Hakero?)
8/21(We both forgot. XD Oh well...)

Marisa: *hakkero sparks, and falls apart* Crap, I forgot about that. Looks like I may have to go old school. *draws out her old wand, ad rechants the incantation*

-

Merlin: *begins to sing along* Sanae and Kogasa singing in a tree... *onabashiro passes through her head, before she phases out*
8/21Marisa: If you need a hakkero- *swats a fae with her broom* I do have one sorta kinda extra one that you can use - but I want it back after this incident is done, or I'm gonna freez you nipples off, da ze~ *flutters her wings, and spins her broom, taking out three fae at once*
8/21Sanae: That wasn't very nice... But... Sanae isn't sure if it's right to get mad, as it might not have been Sanae's Kanako...
8/21Marisa: *thinks about it for a moment, but shakes her head* Nah, I think I'm good. I can do plenty enough without it. But first... *pulls another wand out and hands it to Kyoto* Be my turret gunner, will ya?

Kyoto: Yes ma'am! *immediately begins shooting, downing five fairies with her wand*

-

Alice: *finally gets closer, spotting the flashes of light over the mountain* Oh, dear, they're already going at it. *her eyes begin to glow as the rest of her dolls come to her side*
8/21Merlin: What wasn't nice, Sanae? Merlin wants to know.
8/21Alice: Neat trick... *sends the remaining dolls into the fray, thinning the swarm of fae, instead of focusing on those attacking the marisa pair*

-

Suwako: Woah! One just did the splits! How limber~

Sanae: Sanae thinks she saw lady Yasaka's fundoshi! *blushes* Now my eyes have been been violated...

-

Kanako: The hell you have! *dodges another onbashira*
8/21Kanako: Oh, let's see how the imitator will enjoy this then... *begins to stir the air, twisting it faster and faster*

-

Shizuha: Oh, now she's mad. Here's the good part... Kanako! Kick Kanako in the lady parts!

Merlin: Which one are you cheering for, not Aki copy?

Shizuha: Both of them!

-

Alice: *sends the three forward, before lashing out with a sweeping laser beam* Thanks, glad that you approve.

Marisa: *spins around, throwing thin sparks in every direction to clear out the mess, while Kyoto guns down any getting close*
8/21Kanako: *shrugs and kicks the other Kanako in her girly bits*

-

Sanae: *shudders* I hope that that wasn't Sanae's Kanako getting kicked just now...

-

Marisa: *pulls out a frozen, icy hakkero* Cryo Spark - Blade Mode! *a thin laser shoots out, but it has a stopping point after about ten metres* *begins to cut through dozens at a time*

Alice: *has her dolls retreat, as they'll only get in the way, and brings out the eight Marisa dolls, who fire laser bursts at any stragglers*

Marisa: *blushes* You still HAVE those?!

Alice: W-well... Y-yeah... *blushes hard*
8/21Marisa: Oi! Flirt later! We've a battle to be winning! *spots another large concentration coming straight towards her.* Dammit, can't use that now since it's broken... *glances down at Kyoto* Do you think Alice forgives me?

Kyoto: *glances over at the puppeteer, who is busy shooting lasers at anything that moves, before shrugging* Maybe?

Marisa: Not like there's anything else to do... Besides, gotta play to my strengths. Will ya help me?
8/21Marisa: R-right! *takes of her wings, and forms a staff from them, placing the hakkero on top* *starts to twirl the staff about with ease, as the weighting and shape is much like a broom* *makes sure not to cut any allies*
8/21Marisa: *shakes her head* Now, that just ain't right. Alright, Kyoto, let's do this. Hold up the wand and point it forward. *dodges a pixie real quick*

Kyoto: *does as told*

Marisa: *picks her up gently, flying the broom with her knees* Now... Concentrate my mind... Whisper to her doll tenderly...

Kyoto: To~

Alice: *watches the light disappearing around Marisa* Marisa, what are you doing?

Marisa: Aim at a mountain I don't like... *sighs gently, before snapping open her eyes* And release the annihilation of love! 「Love Sign」MAlice Cannon!

*nothing happens at first, before a small point of light winks into existence. Immediatley, it collapses in upon itself, before expanding outward to a hundred times its original size. The love-coloured beam lances towards the mountain, disintegrating all the pixies in its path, before burying into its side. It digs into the mountain
8/21Marisa: *chuckles* what a unique casting method... *wipes a bit of frozen blood from her face*
8/21Marisa: *grins widely* Well, it does help when I have a conduit made by the other. *hugs Kyoto to her* So, how did you like that?

Kyoto: *looks up, hair completely frazzled* Let's do it again!

Alice: *clears her throat*
8/21Marisa: *snorts* That's a good look on ya, ze!

Alice: *snickers*
8/22Kyoto: *sticks her tongue out at both of them*

Alice: *rolls her eyes* I'm surprised that you get so much out of my emotions for you.

Marisa: It's amazing, isn't it? I didn't know you felt that way. *grins crookedly* Although, perhaps that's Kyoto talking, too.
8/22Alice: *watches with a smile*

Marisa: *watches with a snicker and a grin, before getting hit over the head by Alice*

Alice: Shh!
8/22Alice: Really then? Well, if you prefer a doll instead of me...

Marisa: *begins to blush as she realizes what they were talking about* Not quite... But I wouldn't mind a girl with a wooden hand. *begins biting her lip*

Alice: *floats over next to her. A pixie tries to get at her, but is skewered by Shanghai before it gets near* Really? You know what I think of you, Marisa?

Marisa: *holds her breath*
8/22Alice: *...This slightly reminds me of the confession in my world...*
8/22Alice: You're a damned braggart. An egotistical berk. A thieving nuisance. An annoyance. A mooching botherance. Always coming into my homes, doing your best to make my business your business.

Marisa: *flinches with every word that she says, head drooping more and more*

Alice: *having worked herself into a huff, she peers down her nose at Marisa* And the worst part of it? *suddenly she leans in, knocking off her hat and sending it falling to the ground* I love ever damn bit of it. *leans in to kiss her*

Marisa: *eyes widen in surprise, before pulling her close to her*

(How much will you let me get away with in this battle?)
8/22(In what battle? XD With who? How?)


Alice: *sighs, watching the two of them with envy*
8/22(In this battle. With Marisa. With the new and improved MAlice Cannon)
8/22(Don't let it get TOO out of hand! XD)
8/22(Aww... I was gonna say goodbye to the mountain. Oh well! Just a big chunk of it)

Marisa: *suddenly pulls back, grinning* Alright, this ends right here! *takes her hand, and holds it up* Ready?

Alice: *smiling, grips it tightly with her wooden one* Do you even have to ask?

Marisa: Nope! 「Love Sign」Malice Cannon!

Kyoto: Kyo~!

*the spark appears again, this time two orders of magnitude larger. The resulting beam of light surges forth once, outshining the sun in its brilliance. By the time any can look, the mountain is in tatters, with a large crater having been blasted out of its side, and with a quarter of its height removed*
8/22(Yes, because Yukari would like having nowhere to stick the pixies... Also, Letty lives on the mountai, you know...)

Marisa: ...I wonder if Letty's alive...
8/22(Oops?)
8/22(XD)
8/22(Well, I was roleplaying... I was excited at they were!)
8/22(XD Nice job, there~)
8/22Marisa: Doesn't everything in that mountain respawn, anyways?

-

Meanwhile...

Letty: It's quite nice to meet another version of me. Tea?

(There! Fixed! XD)
8/22Letty: So long as you don't try to melt me with it, sure. *chuckles*

-

Marisa: Letty isn't a fae...
8/22Marisa: Oh. *gives Alice a guilty look, before staring at the remains of the mountain*

Alice: Eh-heh... Perhaps she was out?

-

Letty: Of course! I have to keep all my tea chilled, after all. Any sweetener that you prefer?
8/22Marisa: It's... It's summer... She only leaves the mountain in the winter, and after incidents, as far as I know... Heck, I'm only outside today due to it being a chilly week! I'd end up melting, otherwise...

-

Ohh, plain sugar is fine. *giggles* It's not as though I particularly have any reason to watch my weight~
8/22Letty: As you'd like. *drops a few cubes in* You don't have anyone catching your eye? Such a pity... You do look lovely *smiles* And anyone who is a version of me has to be nice.

-

Kyoto: Perhaps our Letty asked her out to tea?
8/22Letty: Yes, if you don't count the occasional particularly harsh winter I give the land... Or that time when I helped the ice fae start their own little incident~ Ahh, those were good times... *smiles warmly* Plus, who would I really be able to interact with...? Most would freeze from my kiss.

-

Marisa: I don't see that happening... She's a heavy sleeper, you know?
8/22Letty: I haven't done that in decades, myself. Little Cirno has taught me to appreciate the quieter side of life. *raises an eyebrow* Plus, you never answered my question. 'Is' there someone that's caught your eye, even if they are not... possible?

-

Alice: Where on the mountain is her home? We can go check real quickly.
8/22Marisa: Ahah... It's the peak.

-

Letty: W-well, as silly as it sounds... I've always taken a fancy to the Daiyousei... Even if she is spring incarnate, and helped seal me away, I find her just so... lovely...
8/22Alice: Well... damn.

-

Letty: *giggles* Then what are you waiting for? We're not getting any younger, after all. And you could always work something out.
8/22Letty: Well, she also already is interested in someone...

-

Marisa: Exactly.
8/22Letty: Oh, you poor dear. *reaches over to take her hand* I'm sorry. If there is anything I could do to help...
8/22Letty: *shakes head* No, I can't think of anything. *continues to smile, despite feeling a bit sad*
8/22Letty: If you are sure... I'd say it's worth the chance. You'll never know until you find out. *squeezes her hand gently and smiles*
8/22*smiles sadly* Thank you.
8/22Letty: I just wish I was still young enough to find someone for me.
8/22Letty: *chuckles* You're only as young as you act, my dear. I for one think you look quite lovely. *smiles*
8/22Letty: *blushes lightly* I'm glad that you think so. But it's been centuries before I've felt that way for anyone... *eyes turn down* And that was when I actually acted like my species should. Nothing lasted long once they were in my grasp.
8/22Letty: *giggles* And yet is that simply to keep others safe? Or do you truely not find anyone to be of interest?
8/22Letty: Until everything happened recently, no. I was content to simply watch after Cirno when I could. But now... Well, I've seen an interesting lady.
8/22Letty: Indeed? *smiles* I'm happy for you. Why would she be, if I might ask?
8/22Letty: *blushes and looks away, not directly answering* She's interested in someone else. And I don't know if I'm brave enough to follow my own advice.
8/22Letty: And who is this lucky lady? She must be something else.
8/22Letty: Indeed. She's one of a kind. *smiles slightly* Gorgeous too.
8/22Letty: Though, the fact that she seems to lack a name does make one wonder, hmm? *grins teasingly*
8/22Letty: It does, doesn't it? *finally makes eye contact and smiles*
8/22(Is she talking about other Letty, or...?)

Letty: So, what would her name be? *smirks* You are doing a marvelous job of avoiding the question, you know~
8/22(Yup! XD She's content to be an old maid in my world, but I suppose she just likes herself. I'm just surprised this hasn't happened yet, though.)

Letty: I know, I know... Forgive an old lady, but it's a bit... embarrassing, to admit.
8/22Letty: *smiles* If you don't wish to say it, just say so.
8/22Letty: That's the thing. I don't, but at the same time, I do.
8/22Letty: Well, if you say it, and then not say it, would that not cover both bases? *grins teasingly*
8/22Letty: *giggles* You're terrible... But I'll have you know that she's a beautiful woman. Lovely lavender hair... *Blushes*
8/22*giggles* Indeed? What a lovely color of hair... *plays dumb*
8/22Letty: Not to mention that she's someone who can stay in the cold... *grins slightly* And actually likes iced tea.
8/22*chuckles* I'd say it was Cirno, but imagining her with lavender hair makes me laugh a bit for some reason. *grins* So, who would it be?
8/22Letty: No, not the ice fairy... *looks down* I can't believe I'm saying this, Miss Whiterock, but... *blushes harder* It would be you.
8/22*chuckles* *kisses cheek* Thank you for saying it. *smiles brightly*
8/22Letty: *looks up, eyes wide* you mean... *shakes head* Of course, you do. Why else would you. Now I'm babbling. It's not the most normal thing, is it? Liking yourself? But the moment I saw you, I just had this odd feeling. Getting bigger now, butterflies in my stomach...
8/22*smirks* Well, the number of people that can stand to be near us are next to none... I... I don't mind if you love me. *smiles with a light blush* I mean, the only one I'm interested in is quite deadly to me. So I think I can return these feelings of yours. *hugs her*
8/22If you are sure. *returns her hug, pulling her close* It's been so long since I've held someone like this. *smiles slightly* I... I think I want to try this.
8/22*smiles* And I've only done as such to kill... *smiles* I like this coldness...
8/22*smiles back* I do too... You're positively making me shiver. No one's done that before...
8/22*grins* I wonder how cold the winter will be this year...?
8/22I think... it will be positively freezing. *grins widely*
8/22*grins widely* I wonder how much the fae will enjoy that? They do seem to like such things...
8/22Perhaps... We'll probably cause an incident in the process, though. *tilts head* why does that sound appealing if I'm doing it with you, though?
8/22*giggles* Because you get to spend time doing what you love, with the one you love?
8/22Perhaps... *smiles at her* It still makes me want to kiss you, the thought of doing such a thing. *blushes at realization and giggles slightly*
8/22Well, why not make that want no longer a want? *kisses her on the lips*
8/22*blinks in surprise, before leaning back and touching her lips* You devil... *leans back in to steal her own kiss* *the air around them suddenly drops ten degrees*
8/22*grins, and blushes* Ohh, that was a bit minty!
8/22*grins* That it was. *smiles, and tugs gently on her hand* Now, would it be appropriate to show me your home, since I've shown you mine?
8/22*Smiles* Alright! I'll lead the way~ *squeezes her hand*
8/22*pulls her out of the house and into the hair, before waiting for her to lead on*
8/22Marisa: ...I have a feeling of impending doom...

Alice: Yeah...

-

Letty: *quickly notices the enormous mountain in the distance, which happens to be quite... damaged* ...Ohh, it would... seem that the mountain I live on has been... exposed, and... destroyed...? *eyes darken*
8/22Letty: *eyes widen* That looks like the damage from a spark... One bigger than I've ever seen.

-

Marisa: Don't tell me...

Alice: Yup, we won't.

Kyoto: *huddles closer to Marisa* Kyo...

-

Lily: How far did they get ahead, Dai? We still haven't caught up to them?
8/22Dai: ...Guess I'll have to start releasing my wings, and we'll work on catching up! *her wins fan-out into 3 pairs, and grabs Lily's hand, taking off at double the previous speed*
8/22Lily: Still lucky... Got more than one set.
8/22Dai: *giggles* What, are you feeling envious? Of a fae? *grins*

-

Letty: *fly as high speeds towards the mountain, a look of murderous hate on her face*
8/22Letty: *is pulled along by her, staying quiet for the moment*

-

Lily: Not quite. Just jealous of the fact that you don't actually have to 'flap' your wings. The more wings you have, the slower you should go, instead of faster.
8/22Dai: Ohh, I still have to flap them, just... faster than most can see. I mean, really, I don't see how your wings can support your weight...

-

Letty: *produces a trident of ice from her free hand*
8/22Lily: Who knows? I just fly like a regular bird would. Although, I know my wing muscles are quite a bit stronger than they would be otherwise.

-

Letty: Let's just try to do this with words, first, before we do anything hasty. *she may be cold, but she's still hot-blooded... Granted, wouldn't I if it were my home?*
8/22Letty: *growls* Fine... *zoom past Lily and Dai*

-

Dai: ...Well, that won't end well...
8/22Lily: You know what? Let's not hurry and catch up.

-

Marisa: Oh, it's Letty! *squints* Two of them? And one looks positively murderous
8/22Marisa: Ohhh, so that's what the feeling of impending doom was...

-

Dai: ...Good point. *folds her wings back into being only a single pair*
8/22Marisa: So, should we try first contact? *reaches for hakkero, before realizing it is still broken*

Alice: Not like that. *waits for Letty to approach them, sinking feeling in her gut*
8/22Letty: What the hell have you done to my mountain?! *temperature drops by a degree every few seconds*
8/22Marisa: We...we were trying to get rid of the pixies quickly... *rubs back of her head*

Alice: And I... supercharged her spark. We didn't anticipate it to be 'that' powerful...
8/22Letty: And destroying part of their prison would help HOW, exactly...? *glares*
8/22Marisa: It was their prison?

Alice: Yes, it was Marisa. That's what you get for not paying attention
8/22Letty: *temperature drops another five degrees, everyones breaths now being visable*

-

Alice: Th-th-this is y-your falt, Marisa... *shivers*
8/22Marisa: *blanches* Well, What can I do? It's not like I can rebuild a mountain...

Letty: *clears her throat* Then perhaps you should ask someone who 'can'
8/22Yukari: My, that's some problem you've caused~
8/22Letty: Yukari? Not who I was talking about, but alright...

Marisa: *slaps her forehead* You're acting like I intended to blow half of the mountain away!
8/22Yukari: To use an untested weapon is saying that you either expect anything, or you are a fool. *behind her, the mountain slowly began to rebuild itself* Which is it? *smirks*
8/22Marisa: Hrm... I take the third option. I can stare at the moon, so I'm obviously insane.
8/22Yukari: ...You realise that the vast majority of the land could be considered insane too, correct? And yet they don't use the power they have to blow a mountain in half. And the same goes for you, fairy Marisa!

Marisa: *flinches*

Yukari: You blew not one, but two holes in youkai mountain! That didn't cause an erruption directly, but I'm sure it sped the one that happened up!
8/22Marisa: *tilts her head* Since when has youkai mountain been active? Even the tengu don't know the last time it... *facepalm* Different worlds. Right.
8/22Yukari: Ohh, it wasn't, untill the fae of summer that were in old hell began to awaken... What's worse, we found that the sun god that Okuu ate was the avatar of summer! She had an army under her control, and started by waking the remaining fae up, causing the fires of hell to be re-lit in full, and as they connect to the once inactive Youkai Mountain, it errupted... *sigh* Just be careful, you two. Had you killed Letty, I would have had no mercy to give you.
8/22Alice: *grips Marisa's hand hard* Yeah, let's just drop it, Marisa. We screwed up.

Marisa: *grumbles under her breath, nodding to Letty* Sorry...

Kyoto: *stares defiantly at Yukari, thinking that she could take her on*
8/22Letty: *sighs* Fine, so be it... Apology accepted. ...Just don't do that again...
8/22Marisa: We won't... Didn't even know you lived on the mountain. All I remembered was there were man-eating pixies coming out of it.

Alice: Like I said, you need to pay attention, Marisa. Or next time you'll end up wiping everything out. Isn't that right- Wait. Where's Medicine.

Meanwhile...

Medicine: Oh, this is a nice big mountain. Su-san said to gas it all, so we'll get it done!
8/22Yukari: *noticing the poison start to drift on the wind, she decided now would be a good time to re-apply the barrier*

*Mt. Shiro suddenly vanishes*
8/22Medicine: *continues to spread the gas to where the mountain once was, bouncing it down along the barier towards the ground
8/22Yukari: *sigh* *creates a barrier around medicine* *creates a gap into the vaccum of space long enough to get rid of the poison, making sure to catch anything then almost flys in, before shutting the gap* There we go!
8/22Medicine: *eyes widen* What is this? *places her hands on the barrier, feeling for a weakness* What's going on... *begins banging on the side* Su-san! What's going on? Su-san!
8/22Yukari: *releases the barrier, ready to put it back up if need be*
8/22Medicine: *has curled up, and not noticed it happening* Su-san... dd you leave me too?
8/22Yukari: *sighs* *gaps Medicine into her arms* You're fine, now stop blubbering... *ruffles her hair through a gap, while still holding her*
8/22Medicine: Mmm... *leans into hand* Is that you, Mast- *eyes open* Ah! No no no... *leaps away* What are you doing?
8/22Yukari: You looked like you needed a bit of comforting~ *shakes the poison off of her hand from touching the doll*
8/22Medicine: *blushes and looks away* Don't need no comforting from nobody. I'm fine on my own!
8/22Yukari: *grins* And yet, you we saddened because you thought you were alone in this world, were you not? *pats her head*
8/22Medicine: ...All that I need is Su-san. She's the one that's been with me. Nobody else has bothered. *glares at Alice* And now you're going to take her, too!
8/22Yes, all you need is Su-san, but what do you WANT? There are needs, and then there are wants, little doll... I know a bit of that feeling you feel, Medicine. *smiles at her* That feeling of being alone.
8/22Medicine: *hugs her arms* I'll be fine... don't need nobody else... Just Su-san.

Alice: *floats down next to her* Medicine...

Medicine: What.

Alice: Did I ever say that you couldn't come to visit Su-san? Or that you couldn't stay?
8/22Yukari: See? Not only do you still have Su-san, you have Alice, who supports your friendship with Su-san, and you have myself, who knows the pain of being alone, for I myself was alone for 100 years, before I became a youkai... *smiles*
8/22Medicine: But you're the puppeteer... You'll just turn me into a puppet.

Alice: I know that they are. But remember, doll youkai have to stick together, right?

Medicine: *looks down, mind debating*

Marisa: Last I checked, humans don't live a hundred years... *narrows her eyes* Just what are you, anyways?
8/22Yukari: *falls back into a gap, and comes out in her other form* Urameshiya~ *sticks her tongue out, while holding onto her umbrella*
8/22Marisa: ...Fucking hell! KOGASA?!

Alice: Marisa! *turns back to Medicine* Trust me... I won't hurt you, Medicine. Have I ever? *offers her the wooden hand*

Medicine: ............Alright. As long as there are ruffles... *takes her hand and pulls her close*

Alice: *pulls her close and ruffles her head* Alright... *coughs slightly* Poison, though?

Medicine: Oh, yeah. *turns it off, somewhat reluctantly*
8/22Kogasa: Surprised~? *grins*
8/22Marisa: ...*facepalm* If there ever was a power that 'surprise' could cover...
8/22Kogasa: Which is exactly why I asked myself to teach me the way of producing gaps~ Though, that won't happen for another... mmm... I suppose about 2 years? I learned alongside my daughter, and Kurumi, after all... Ahh, those were the days... Back when my Sanae was still alive... *sighs*
8/22Marisa: Wait, Sanae and you... *trails her eyes down towards the crowd below, where the two are* Huh. But if she is going to die... wouldn't that only be in the old world? Now that it's merged...
8/22Kogasa: Ohh, I'll right the time-stream some day... If I never lost Sanae, I never would have gone back in time 20,000 years for a... bit of solo training... I never would have created Gensoukyo... This never would have happened in the first place. Time has no paradoxes. Only those that correct the stream back to where it should be... Though, honestly, I don't remember. I don't remember how this will turn out. It might be that time has been thrown so off-track, that a new reality has been born... Which would mean that it's not that I don't remember, but that it wasn't supposed to happen to begin with. *sighs and falls into her gap, coming back out in Yukari mode*
8/22Marisa: Meh.. Where's someone who knows time magic that won't kill you when you need them? But if this is a new reality... What's to stop you from, you know... *scratches the back of her head*
8/22Yukari: From?
8/22Marisa: *points down to the two* Going back? *scratches head* Not like I' the smartest about these things...

Alice: *grins* Quite dumb, actually.

Marisa: That's not the point! *grumbles*
8/22Yukari: *smiles sadly* And what, kill the other me...? It's not my place to steal her future mate from her... I already had pleanty of time to enjoy those couple of decades... Plus, I have Miko, even if only because she knocked me up...
8/22Marisa: *scratches her head* True... And I wasn't saying to kill yourself! Just... Ah, who knows. *throws up her hands* Are we done here, Alice's?

Alice: Last I checked, we haven't found their fae yet, have we?
8/22Alice: Ahh! That's right! Letty, watch out for any Lilys you see, especially if they are being overly nice to you.

Letty: Yeah, the other Letty already warned me of the little bastards... Is that all?

Alice: I suppose, if you find yourself with company by some odd happenstance, spread the word?

Letty: Will do. *smiles*

Alice: Well, that's 2 avatars down...
8/22Alice: And we're right by youkai mountain... Are the two Kanako's still going at it?

Lily: *finally approaches* Wait, you all are leaving already? We just caught up...
8/22Kanako: Hah! Your weakness was kicking you in the crotch, wasn't it?! *kicks her crotch yet again*

-

Alice: *saw from in the distance* Ohhhh... That look painful...

-

Sanae: ...Sanae isn't sure wether to be happy that lady Yasake is winning, as Sanae thinks she's fighting dirty...

Suwako: I think I heard a crunch that time!

Shizuha: Bloody 'ell...
8/22Kanako: *cringes* Well, take this! *kicks the other Kanako in the crotch in return*

-

Alice: *cringes in sympathy* At least they're solving this like... oh bloody hell.

-

Sanae: Sanae isn't sure whether to be... Dammit, Sanae, now you've got me doing it too!

Shizuha: Good. The more nuts of the goddesses of the crunches, the better!

Merlin: Actually, if you want to get technically Aki Copy, it's more like bloody heaven.
8/22Shizuha: Well, one would probably be pissin' blood after that...

Sanae: Ohh, no! Such foul language! La la la la la - Sanae isn't listening~!

-

Kanako: *grunts in pain* T-take THAT! *kicks her in the crotch again*

-

Dai: ...As entertaining as this is, shouldn't we stop them, somehow...?
8/22Kanako: *laughs darkly* Well... take this! *kicks her in the crotch before punching her in the breasts

-

Shizuha: Go for the hair! Go for the hair!

Minoriko: Shizuha, what are you... *eyes widen at the sight* By the dragon! We have to stop them!

Merlin: Oh, another Aki! I think I'll add you to my collection! *grabs her and smiles happily* Now I've three! Now where is the other Aki copy...

Lily: They'll get tired, eventually..

Letty: *watches her carefully* ...I know you are one of our Lily's, so don't even try anything. And which Dai are you... *watches her Letty out of the corner of her eye*
8/22Dai: *raises brow* I take it the one of your world is about as sociable as can be? *smirks* I would be the smaller, weaker half of the avatar of spring.

-

Shizuha: Well, I could call 'er 'ere, if ya like... Mino? Minoriko~

Minoriko: *pops into existance beside her* Whadaya want, sis...? I was sleepin'... *rubs her eyes* *notices there's a lot of doubles around* ...Am I... sleepin' still...?

-

Kanako: Grah! You bitch...! *hits her in the crotch with an upwards cleave of her onbashira staff*
8/22Merlin: Yay!!! *grabs all of them together* I will keep all of you! Yes I will...

Shizuha: *grumbles under her breath, looking at Minoriko* This is all your fault.

-

Lily: I wouldn't quite call her sociable, lass.

Letty: Hrmph. Interesting. I suppose that would make sense, all things considered.

-

Kanako: *whimpers in pain* Well, how about this! *returns the favor with her own staff while sending her ropes out to lash at her buttocks*
8/22Dai: While I go by my title, my other half goes by our actual name. We would be Yuuka, and when we return to being one, there are few stronger than me.

Letty: *blushes at the mention of their combined form*

-

Kanako: Grr... *winces* *grips her by the breasts, and roughly pulls her in for a headbutt*
8/22Letty: *glares at her somewhat jealously, before reaching out a hand to Letty* I see, so that is how it is. I hope I never see the day that both of you fight, then. The Yuukas, I mean.
8/22Dai: Well, I doubt we'd ever have a reason to fight her... I mean, we usually only fight those that need to be punished for messing with the flowers...

-

Kanako: *follows up with a second headbutt, this time hitting her nose strait on*
8/22Kanako: Mbah Nose! *lashes out with her hands, intent on pulling out the goddess' hair*
8/22Kanako: *remembers how to dodge, and does just that, thankful that she has short hair* *aims a heavy blow at the solar plexus*
8/22Kanako: *sees the telegraphed blow, and clamps down on Kanako's wrist, before twisting forcefully*
8/22Kanako: *sighs, and simply twists in her flight, saving her from horrible pain* *give a snappy kick to Kanako's wrist so as to get her to let go, and backs off a bit* Okay, we are both starting to act stupid in our methods. How about we take a break...? Continue in a bit, even?
8/22Kanako: *growls* You might have a point. We're going at it now like two hussies in the mud, not like a goddess should act. *pauses for a moment* Why hasn't Suwako gotten involved? Should she not help me against an imposter?

-

Minoriko: *grumbles as Merlin ruffles her hat* Yeah. Like you're the only one that is worrying about how to act like a proper goddess right now...

Merlin: What did I tell you real Aki number 2?
8/22Kanako: *shrugs* From what I see, she's getting along just fine with the Suwako I know... ...Or is it the other way around...? I'm not sure which is which, honestly...

-

Suwako: Heh, seems the entertainment's over, huh~?
8/22Suwako: Dangit... Who bet that it'd end in a draw?

-

Kanako: ...From the sound of it, they were placing bets... Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
8/22Kanako: ...That divine punishment to a god would be an amusing prospect? *grins wickedly, her needle-like fangs quite apparent*
8/22Kanako: Indeed... *summons another of her pillars, smacking it in her hand like an oversized baseball bat* Oh, Moriya... I'm coming for you...
8/22Kanako: *summons a pillar behind a Suwako, shooting one of the Suwakos at the other Kanako much like a pinball, or, perhaps a baseball* Thank fast! *grins*
8/23Kanako: as they impact, swings the pillar around, launching them into the air with a crack* Aha! And that could be out of here, ladies. A home run if I've ever seen one.
8/23Suwako: W-wha?! *looks in astonishment to where the one Suwako had just been launched from, and then dodges a pinball launce of her own* Che, you aren't gonna get me that easily!
8/23Kanako: We aren't Cuban revolutionaries, Suwako! *launches her own ropes to dodge as Kanako sets p another lance*
8/23Suwako: Wait, what?! When did Cuba come into the equasion?!

Kanako: *summons a series of 7 onbashira, and throws them at the frog*

Suwako: *dodges everything thrown at her, and hops about* Is that... the best you've got? *gets a crazy look in her eyes, and suddenly crouches, before vanishing due to the speeds she launched herself at my Kanako at* *hits my Kanako over the head with her wok while passing her*

Kanako: Dgu...! *falls down*
8/23Sanae: *flies over and hits them both in the head with a stick* Enough!

Kanako: Sanae...

Sanae: *deathglare*

Kanako: *whimper*

Shizuha: Heh. Viva la revolution.
8/23(That was... faster than I expected! XD I expected you Kanako to be the hard fight! XD)

Suwako: *rubs head* ...That was surprisingly easy... Getting rusty, little Kanako? *chuckles*

Kanako: *out cold*

Sanae: Lady Yasaka! *runs to the side of the head of their shrine* *shakes her* Speak to Sanae! *shakes her hard*

Kogasa: I don't think that's helping...
8/23(Sanae was tired of it. And now we see the true miracle. *rimshot*)

Shizuha: It's helping, Sanae. You just have have to shake her harder. Really get her head banging.

Merlin: *head shoots up* Wait, there is head banging going on? And I am not involved? PREPOSTEROUS!
8/23Shizuha: ...Ah think the girl has issues...

Mino: ...Ah reckon you're right...

Sanae: *shakes harder* L-like this? Is Sanae doing it right...?

Suwako: Yeah, just like that... *smiles darkly*
8/23Merlin: Aww... *hugs your two Aki's together* You say issues like it's a bad thing!

Shizuha: Exactly! You know, the harder you rattle, the quicker that they get *is whacked on head by Sanae*

Sanae: Enough.
8/23Sanae: *tears up* The quicker they what...? The quicker they what?! Sanae must know! Sanae doesn't want to lose lady Yasaka, too...
8/23Sanae: Calm yourself down. She's a goddess. She'll come around soon enough. But shaking won't help at all.
8/23Sanae: B-but... *looks at with tears in eyes*

Suwako: *sigh* It's not the first time she's been out like this, you know. She'll get up after a bit. I mean, one time she kidnapped Aya and dressed her up as you, back when you were stuck in the dream-world.
8/23Merlin: That sounds positively delightful! Playing dressup with tengu? Such a good idea... as if they were dolls. *gives the Aki's a 'very' thoughtful look*

Shizuha: *looks at her counterpart* So, is this where we run?
8/23Shizuha: *shrugs* If'n ya dun wanna be made up like a doll? *runs, chasing after her already running sister*
8/23Merlin: Hey! Come back here ya blighters! We're going to be playing dress-up! I'm sure sisters won't mind if I borrow their clothes!

Shizuha: *takes the opportunity to slip away*

Minoriko: *glances around where everyone was before* Whe... where did everyone go?

Merlin: *turns around and gives her a steely glint* At least I still have one doll left...
8/23Suwako: No outfits that'll make the mountain look bad, though... alright? I don't want the tengu to have anything to blow out of proportion. I mean, sure, she's not the Aki that I know... But, well, she looks the exact same!
8/23Merlin: Aww... But it will be hard to stuff those melons in anything! Tch. I'll just have to improvise. But to keep this one from getting away...

Minoriko: What are you planning on... *freezes as the ghost enters her.

Merlinriko: Ah... this might work better. So, how do I do this. *clears her throat* That is not how a proper goddess should act! *can't keep a straight face*
8/23Suwako: *giggles* Indeed! Though, it's far more fun to be an improper goddess! ...Isn't that right, Alice? *looks to Alice with a grin*

Alice: *cringes*
8/23Merlinriko: Oh! In that case... *zips over to Alice, and throws her arms around her neck* Can you make me something improper? Then we can all have fun! *cheeky grin*
8/23Alice: I-I don't particularly know how to make such things! *blushes*
8/23(Am I having too much fun with Random Merlin?)
8/23(XD Keep it up! I don't mind~)
8/23(As you wish!)

Merlinriko: Oh, come on! Can't you see that this dress is much to confining for me? I'd prefer if I had something that breathed a bit more... *giggles* perhaps I could get more faith that way!

(Speaking of goddesses, where is Usagi and co.? XD)
8/23(If Usagi managed to talk Nitori into coming with her, I'd say... probably misty lake?)

Suwako: Ahh, but what sort of power can be gained with faith given in lust over your body? Reminds me of a new goddess, who has some pretty rotten luck.
8/23(Kappa and water... so probably, yes)

Merlinriko: Only the good type, of course, After all, I'm the goddess of bounty, plenty, and the harvest. *grins widely* But if there is another goddess, I'll have to give her some competition.
8/23Suwako: *grins* Seeing as what effect her blessing has, I'm not sure if you would be able to take any followers from her~
8/23Merlinriko: I'm sure you know that the other part of me, which is in no way controlling me at this point, has the power to create pure euphoria in any form. *smirks wickedly* I could give her a run for her money... Although, I do wonder who has fantasized at getting into these...

(Goddess wars, Usagi vs Merlinriko. Round one. Fight!)
8/23Suwako: Well, if you want to fight over what few followers she has *giggles* I think she has... 20? *shrugs*
8/23Merlinriko: Nah. I think I'll just steal someone else's followers first. I just need to find an appropriate tailor, or liberate something to wear... Hrm... *stares down Alice* So you won't help me?
8/23Alice: Won't and can't are two different things... You could try the other Alice, or try Yamame...
8/23Alice: Did I hear my name being called?

Merlinriko: Hellloooooo, Alice! *immediately flies over to her, wrapping her arms around her neck and pressing against her back* I've got a favor ta ask ya...

Alice: *blushes, and pushes her away* Goddess, Minoriko! What's gotten into you?

Merlinriko: Oh, I just wanted a little favor... that's all. *smiles innocently*
8/23Suwako: She's possessed...
8/23Merlinriko: By an extraordinary vision! By knowledge of how to gain faith!

Alice: *turns to Suwako* Poltergeist?

Merlinriko: *suddenly drops her shoulders and grumbles* You say that like it's a 'bad' thing... I'm just trying to help my little doll, here. Speaking of dolls, can you make something for me, that will help me gain more... faith?

Alice: Is she asking what I think she's asking?
8/23Suwako: If you think she's asking for a skimpy outfit, I suppose she is...
8/23Alice: *sighs* She actually has one, you know. From when she was younger, and desired a human in the village.

Merlinriko: Ok! I'll just go ahead and

Alice: *grabs her arm* You won't. I'm only telling you this so you know not to use it. I'll make you your damn dress, if only to keep from defiling the memory in that one.

(Obscure fic reference for the win!)
8/23(Hehe)

Suwako: Iiiinteresting...
8/23Merlinriko: Whhhaaaaaat's interesting?

Alice: *Grumbles, and storms into one of the shrines* I hope you don't mind me stealing your stuff!
8/23Suwako: Just leave my movies alone!
8/23Alice: What's a movie? *shrugs, and disappears into the shrine* Now, where is some fabric... Ah, this will do!

Merlinriko: You neveeeeeer answered me! *zooms over to Suwako, and peers down at her*
8/23Suwako: *grins* Wouldn't you like to know?
8/23Merlinriko: That I woooouuuuld. *leans down to give her a good view. If that dress had anything that could be called a view* Anything I can do to know?
8/23Suwako: *chuckles* Stop failing to look sexy might do the trick. Well, maybe jumping up and down a bit.
8/23Merlinriko: *hrmph* Not that I can help it. Don't exactly have control over these clothes like I do my own. But I can do jumping! *hops to and fro all over the place, before standing in front of Suwako*
8/23Suwako: *grins, and whispers to herself* Jumping for the jumping god... *eyes start to glow* Boobs for the boob throne! *hops at her, going for the breasts*
8/23Merlinriko: *phases, letting the goddess go through her* Uh-uh! You gotta be giving faith before getting the goods! *sticks out her tongue*
8/23Suwako: *pouts*
8/23Merlinriko: Of course, I could justgrant you your own bountiful harvest for your boob throne. *smiles widely* If you ask nicely, that is.
8/23Suwako: Pleaaaaase, please, please, please!
8/23Merlinriko:* Leans down in front of her, and places her hand on her sternum, grinning the whole way* Just say when. *the harvests start to become more bountiful*
8/23Suwako: *bounty becomes a B, and then a C, and finally a D* When! *cringes in pain as the breasts try to rip through fabric*
8/23Merlinriko: *lets them swells a bit more before stopping* There you go... *smirks* Now, if you want to keep them, you have to provide faith. But that shouldn't be much of a problem, should it?
8/23Suwako: *busy hopping joyously*
8/23Merlinriko: *smirks* Oi! Alice! You done in there?

Alice: *tosses out a slip of garment that is made out of something suspiciously similar to Kanako's garments* That will do, I think. After all, you said less is more, right?

Merlinriko: I didn't, but that's what I meant! *grabs the dress and switches them out. In front of everyone watching*
8/23Suwako: *blushes at the sight* Ohh, my...
8/23Merlinriko: *pulls on the rather snug dress, which has a rather large window so that everyone can see the result of their faith* So, how do I look?

(I wonder how many euphemisms I can make...)
8/23Suwako: Busty, and revealing...
8/23Merlinriko: *smirks* Perfect. Now, I'm off to have some fun gathering faith with my doll. *pets Suwako on the head* Just remember to be devout, and they'll stay...
8/23Suwako: If you wish to find Usagi, though... She'd be down by the lake 9 times out of 10
8/23Merlinriko: Why would I do that? She's already insulted me once. *rubs her hands together* I need to find followers of my own first. Then we shall see...
8/23Suwako: *Gives her own personal faith to Merlin, keeping those of those that believe in her to herself* Well, that's one. *smiles*
8/23Merlinriko: *grins widely as she feels a rush* 'Nice'. Now to find those who need the blessings of autumn and euphoria. *giggles* I wonder who they might be...

(you know, when we started this, I never could have told you that Merlin would have ended up becoming the boob goddess. XD)
8/23(HAH And I never expected the worlds to collide! XD)

Suwako: *hops about like crazy, ignoring the pain of her breasts bouncing hard* Go-oo-ood lu-uu-uck
8/23Merlinriko: *flies off, whistling to herself* Now, who is there around here that I can bless... *looks for anyone in particular*

(Indeed! Although, that kinda was expected once your Yukari showed up... And then, when everyone else started. I think what tied it together, in the end, was Rika. And little Yitori...)
8/23*nobody is around*
8/23Merlinriko: Oh well... No, I wonder... Should I stay on the mountain, or go to the human village... *grins* Wait, aren't there two villages now? I should go and take advantage of that! *flies off*
8/23(feel free to do whatever. Not that we haven't this whole time. XD)
8/23Kurumi: *looks at the distance* Incoming!
8/23Merlinriko: *flies down in front of them, before waving* Hiiiiii!
8/23Kurumi: *The hell?* I think this is your Aki, Akyuu...
8/23Akyuu: Indeed... *trails her eyes over the goddess* Although I've never seen her quite in this way. Are you alright, Minoriko?

Merlinriko: *grins widely* Never been better! I just suddenly had a brilliant idea on how to gather more faith, so I'm going to try it out and see what happens. Especially since there are now so many villagers...
8/23Ani: ...She doesn't always dress like that, I hope?
8/23Merlinriko: *looks at her and pouts, trying to look cute. Which doesn't really work, now does it?* Why not? Is there something wrong with the way I look?
8/23Ani: Well... You umm...

Kurumi: You look a but slutty...
8/23Merlinriko: Well, it will accomplish what I'm here to do. Need to grant the a large bounty to anyone who takes up the faith.. *grins cheekily* This is simply the advertisement, you might say.

(Heh... I can't wait for some guy to try something. *snickers* I'm got something planned for that...)
8/23(Well, what good timing to say that!)

Giant of of man: Uhuhu... *pinches her rear*
8/23Merlinriko: *turns around and smiles winningly* Hello there... Would you like to receive the bounty of autumn? I can give you a taste of it right now.
8/23Giant man: *gropes her breasts, grinning dumbly*
8/23Merlinriko: *pushes his hand away* Silly, I'm going to grant you the bounty... Don't be so hasty. *holds her hand over his crotch, before slowly shrinking it until nothing, the whole time with a wicked smirk on her face*
8/23Giant man: Mah... mah winkie! *runs off screaming*

Ani: *raises an eyebrow* What did you do...?
8/23Merlinriko: *looks at her* I gave him a little bit of the bounty of autumn. *points at self* And since only women have such bounties, I had to help him along. *giggles*
8/23Kurumi: *cringes* Did you turn him into a woman, or...?
8/23Merlinriko: Not yet! *smirks* But if he causes any more trouble.... eheh... So, is there anyone else that might want to receive my... blessings? *gives them a significant look* Or is there any man who should receive them, instead?
8/23One of the wimpier men standing at the ready: *Gets on the ground, and starts worshiping her* I want your blessing!

Ani: *blinks twice, confused*
8/23(*bursts out laughing* Not quite what I meant... But sure, I'll run with that!)

Merlinriko: *at the burst of new faith, waves her hand at him, causing him to receive a rather modest bounty as he changes gender* There you go, my second worshipper. Go, and spread the word, and I may reward you further. *giggles to herself once again* *under her breath* This is fun...
8/23*the woman, runs off, spreading the word with glee*
8/23Merlinriko: *turns back to the three* So, you were saying?

Akyuu: *strokes her chin* I suppose there might be a few men that might be 'worthy' of such a blessing, if you know what I mean. Agreed, Ani? *cough*VillageElder*cough*
8/23Ani: *giggles* Indeed! It might do him well, if he's no longer able to do as he's done in the past...
8/23Merlinriko: *adjusts her dress as she feels her faith grow* Well, lead on, little Ani copy.
8/23Ani: *does just that, with an evil grin*
8/23Merlinriko: *skips along, bouncing her bountiful bosom as she follows the girl*

Akyuu: Is it bad that I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the state the village is going to be in soon?
8/23Kurumi: ...Well, It will likely majorly improve the happiness of both men and women, and curb the letchers from turning into rapists...
8/23Akyuu: Well, considering my town was mostly orderly, I suppose that would make a big difference. *waves her on* Let's get going. Don't want to have anything else happen in the process, hrm?

Merlinriko: *finally skips into the house of the Village Elder* Helllooooooooo everyone!
8/23VE: What the hell do ya want, ya big-breasted bimbo!
8/23(Oh dear...)

Merlinriko: *freezes, before staring him down* Well, if we're going to get right down to it... Your faith. *begins to transform him painfully and slowly into the ugliest woman imaginable*
8/23(I had to! XD)

VE: W-wha?! M-my voice...! What the hell did you did, ya bitch...! We had a treaty!

Ani: With the youkai. Gods? No, we have no treaty with them, even if many of them were once yo-

VE: Shaddap!
8/23Merlinriko: I'll have you know that I am one of the goddesses of autumn. My... 'sister', and I, have always served the village faithfully. Always have we given the bounties of food, so that there is never the question that they go hungry. As such, anything going on in the village is 'my' duty. *raises her hand and twists it* Now, you will have a fertile harvest of children, should you ever do mate with another. And since the desire will grow by the day... You 'will' end up having it. *grins wickedly* Since your village has joined with mine, I see that it falls to me, as one of its primary benefactors, to bring them in line! Now, will you bow down and worship, or will I destroy you?
8/23VE: N-no! P-please forgive me, goddess...! I was a fool! I'm sorry! I-I... I'll do anything...! Please don't leave an old man like this! *worships her hard*
8/23Merlinriko: Good. *changes his body back and points out the door* Leave, and teach them about the new order in this society. *after he scurries out the door, spins around to face everyone else* So, anyone else going to make a comment about big-breasted bimbos?
8/23Ani: Ahaha, no, I think I'm good. By the way, I think you look just... lovely in that outfit!

VE: *scurries out the door like the roach that he acts like*
8/23Merlinriko: Why thank you... But why do I feel so... odd... *hold her head* Am I already... merging? Abort...

Merlin: *ejects out of the side of Minoriko, and slams into the wall*

Minoriko: *holds her head woozily*

(And so, it ends... Or does it?)
8/23Ani: Erm... What just happened...? Merlin...? I... Were you just... possessing a GOD...?
8/23Merlin: *rubs her own head* Oh, now that was a trip... A god? But she's my own little Aki doll, isn't she? *flies over and pinches Minoriko's cheek*

Minoriko: *teeters back and forth* Wha... what happened to me... I feel so... odd.
8/23Ani: You're dressed in a... very revealing outfit. Also, you've gained followers...
8/23Minoriko: *looks down* I... I've noticed. I feel bigger. *breathes in deeply* And it's been so long since I've had so many...

Merlin: See! My plan worked. Just getcha in something sexy, and use your powers in a very liberal way, and instant faith! Didn't even have to tap into my speciality.
8/23Ani: Well, I wouldn't be surprised if you have the entire village believing in you, soon... I mean, the vast majority of women in the village have flat breasts, and so you will gain many that will wish to have this blessing.
8/23Minoriko: *blushes heavily* Really? I hadn't ever thought of doign that. It seems so... improper... *glances about* But, isn't this a man's house...?

Akyuu: *grins evilly, waiting for one of the others to explain*
8/23Ani: For my faith, you punished a man - a rapist, in a way that would hit him the hardest... You made a woman out of him, one who would become more in need of a man the longer she goes without using her blessing of... fertility. *grins wickedly*
8/23Merlin: *giggles* And I turned him back to a man, but I didn't remove the compulsion, either. He'll still try and find a man to get him pregnant, never caring for the fact that it's not possible.

Minoriko: *stares between the two* And... and that actually earned your faith? Such a vengeful act?
8/23Ani: Ohhhh, yes it did... He deserved it... It was his job to take care of the village, and instead he's joined in on their... *shudders* adventures.
8/23Minoriko: *stares out the door* I'm going to have to take a hard stance, am I not?

Merlin: Or, you could let me do it my way! *grins widely*
8/23Ani: You make a... unique team.

Kurumi: I'll say...
8/23(MerlinxMinoriko OTP!)

Akyuu: What's the next oddest thing?

Merlin: *pokes her in the side* You just can't fight so hard! You were overpowering me! Any longer, and you would have killed me.

Minoriko: *looks at her oddly* I can kill... a poltergeist?

Merlin: You 'are' a goddess, after all... *grins down at her* But, will you let me? You can't say that we didn't have fun.

Minoriko: *blushes, and looks down*
8/23Ani: Any you surely helped spread joy. And made a woman out of a man in need, oddly enough...
8/23Minoriko: ...*looks up at her* You know, this is hardly proper at all. To conduct myself in such a manner...

Merlin: *grins and floats beside her* Buuuuut...?

Minoriko: *mutters quietly* You made me feel pretty... *glances at Ani* Are you sure that it would be a good thing?
8/23Ani: *chuckles* I doubt, even when THAT's what you're doing, that any true harm will come of it.
8/23Minoriko: Then, in that case... *spreads her arms open wide*

Merlin: As you wish, my little Aki doll. *flies into her midsection, causing her to double over. Nothing happens for a moment, before Minoriko's hair grow a few inches, before curling and turning a familiar shade of blue*

Merlinriko: *snaps her eyes open, grinning widely* So, who's ready to go have more fun?
8/23Ani: *giggles* You two have fun, and don't do anything TOO stupid, alright?
8/23Merlinriko: Whhaaaaat? We're just going to spread my bountiful faith to all... *eyes her carefully* Are you sure you don't want to get blessed, as well, for your help?
8/23*blushes* U-umm... W-well, a little wouldn't hurt, I suppose... *smiles timidly* I AM a bit... well, totally flat, really... *pats her smooth chest*
8/23Meriko: *grins, and makes her glow* Just shout when, and it'll stop. But where shall we go next?

Minlin: Who knows? There are many people to bless?

Meriko: Alright! Onwards! *exits through the door*

Akyuu: *sighs* Great. Now we have a schizophrenic goddess. What next?
8/23Ani: *holds her hands to her chest, and feels them grow to an A* That's good! *They continue growing, and stop at a B, matching the size of Kurumu's breasts*
8/23(See! Thinking ahead! I totally planned that ever since I knew! Honestly!)

Meriko: *walks into the village square, strolling about and seeing how the villagers now react to her*

Akyuu: *shakes heaD* Well, perhaps they'll calm down now that the goddess is here.... In some form.
8/23*most of the men instantly get errections*

Ani: And get riled up in anyther...
8/23Meriko: I'm going to have to do something about that, aren't I?

Minlin: Perhaps we are going to... Are you sure?

Meriko: When am I not? *instantly grants a bit of her bounty to any one that looks even slightly seedy, hopefully turning all the onest who are that bad into neuters*
8/23*most men clutch their crotches, letting out girly screams*
8/23Meriko: *giggles and flies off* I'll be back later to see if you've been gooo-oood...
8/23*A giant lump of faith impacts her, as that display of power really gave a lot of believers*
8/23Meriko: *nearly falls out of the sky, as she grows even more* MMmmm... I could get used to this...
8/23Usagi: ...I feel a disturbance in the faith...

Cirno: But you don't even care about that stuff, Usa...

Usagi: Well, that doesn't mean that I'm not curious as to what's happening... It doesn't help that after I did what did to Aya, that my believers have gone up by about 50...

Cirno: ...Didn't you only have 14, before?

Usagi: Exactly...
8/23(like ten voices cried out in terror, before they were suddenly silenced?)

Meriko: *spots some fairies on the edge of the lake, and swoops down, thinking they'll be excellent targets*

Nitori: that is interesting... So who could be stealing your faith though, love?
8/23Usagi: No, it was all human faith... I only had fae followers untill recently, and none were human, even after the gain. It's just that it's a disturbance in the faith of the land in general, and I felt it hard... It was similar to the sort of faith I garner...

Cirno: Pleasure and such?

Usagi: Exactly.

-

(Suwako has her schtick already XD)

Suwako: There's a disturbance in the faith from the human village... As though 100 men had errections, and suddenly screamed...

Sanae: This again...? Sanae is tired of hearing you quote starwars, if a bit modified to fit the situation...
8/23Shizuha: *peeks her head out of Suwako's hat* Is it safe to come out, though? You said it would be alright to hide from the poltergeist in here.
8/23Meriko: *spots the ice fairy* Oooh, maybe I can appeal to them. *appears in front of all of them* Helloo hello hellooooooo! How are you?
8/23Suwako: Yes, yes, you big babies. *sighs*

Aki: *gets out* Thank ya, lass.

Suwako: *shakes head in dissapointment*
8/23Shizuha: *glances about* Where did she go, anyways? And where is sister? You never did quite tell me what happened...
8/23Suwako: *shrugs* Your sisted was posessed.
8/23Shizuha: huhwah? *blinks* That poltergeist... sister... *leafy axe appears in her hand* I feel like I should be ending someone right now.
8/23Usagi: ...Who are you? You look familiar, and yet... not.
8/23Meriko: Oh, I'm nobody..... *grins and floats around, having recognized the one* I was just out spreading my faith earlier, and I was flying by to see if anybody else wanted the bounty of autumn granted to them...
8/23Usagi: We have enough food, I think...
8/23Meriko: Now, don't be so close minded... There are many more types of bounties that autumn brings, and more than one type of harvest that may be reaped.
8/23Cirno: *raises a brow* Such as...?
8/23Meriko: *glances at Usagi* Such as how you are with child now? I can have it be so that you are capable of having as many as you wish... *grins* Or, I can give you something in lieu of that... *waits to see what they say*
8/23Usagi: *touches her belly, blushing at the thought* N-no, I'd rather not... U-unless you wish to, Nitori, or Cirno...?

Cirno: *blushes a bit, shaking her head*
8/23Nitori: *has turned red, sinking into the water. However, doesn't shake her head*

Meriko: Aww... Pity. Well, how about this. I'll give you a taste of what I can do. And then we'll see... *flies off, before giving Cirno and Nitori a small glow*

Nitori: Wah? *stares at herself, not seeing anything happening*
8/23Cirno: W-what did you do?! *looks at the seemingly fleeing goddess*
8/23Minlin: Was that necessary?

Meriko: Yes it was! *gives them a jaunty wave before fading out of sight*

Nitori: *climbs out of the water to chase after her, revealing fairly wider, child-bearing hips*
8/23Usagi: *blushes* U-umm... Nitori...

Cirno: *looks down, expecting the same, and yet finds no change* Seriously, what did you do?!
8/23Nitori: *glances over at her* What is it, Usagi?

Meriko: *calls out* Nothing physical! Just something for you two fairies to... enjoy! *giggles*
8/23Usagi: Well, umm... Look down?

Cirno: ...Enjoy...?? The hell...?
8/23(Not that. :P Merlin's power, not that kinda transformation. Yet, at least. XD)
8/23(She was talking about the hips XD)
8/23(Aha! Alright... XD Now, that will be amusing)

Meriko: *drops an advertisement slip offering her other services*
8/23(What happened to Cirno, by the way?)

Usagi: *snatches it out of the air* *reads it*
8/23(She's been induced with euphoria, but only notices it when touched. Of course, adjusted for various different parts of the fae *coughwingscough*)

Helllloooooo there miss ice fairy goddess ma'am! We here at the new and improved Minoriko's fields are offering a variety of different self improvements to those devout! Offers include increased bounty of the harvest, higher fertility, adjustment of primary, secondary, and tertiary sexual characteristics for women, and full gender reassignment for men! For a limited time only, we also have a bonus package, where you will have an added effect for free! All worshipers will be happy with their decisions!
8/23Usagi: *blushes ...T-that sounds shady...

Cirno: *reads over shoulder* *blushes a bit as well* Yeah...
8/23*more writing appears on it* What's so shady about it? It's the honest truth! Go ask Hieda if you think otherwise!
8/23Usagi: *shakes head* I'm not really interested... Wait, goddess? Why does everyone have to keep calling me that!

Cirno: ...Well, it's not inaccurate, my goddess... *kisses her neck*
8/23(That was supposed to sound like a used car salesman... not like I expected her to take her up on it)

Nitori: *sinks back into the water, hoping that they'll go at it*
8/23Usagi: Mmm...! *shivers* C-cir... no...!

Cirno: *makes her way up to Usagi's ear, and starts to just about make out with it*

Usagi: A-ahhmm... Hnaa...! *enjoys having her buttons pushed just right*
8/23Nitori: *begins to play with herself, watching as Usagi was enjoying it* Yes... keep going, Cirno...
8/23Cirno: *smirks upon hearing Nitori, and angles Usagi in a way that gives a perfect angle to the cute little vouyer, and begins to gently rub Usagi's breasts, being sure to avoid the wings for now*

Usagi: Ahh...! Y-yes... r-right thHAAA...! *twitches, as Cirno suddenly pinched mer nub rather hard*
8/23Nitori: *gasps as she begins to stroke herself under the water, undoubtedly getting off on the girl's pleasure*
8/23Usagi: *starts to spin her wings, and touch the side of it against Cirno's wings* Mmm...!! *twitches, arching back* Ohh...!

Cirno: *bites lip and wimpers, as the pleasure is like nothing she had felt before* *begins to rub Usagi's inner thigh with the pointed tip of one of her wings*
8/23Nitori: *shivers, and can't stand watching, climbing out of the water and approaching Cirno, before kissing the back of her neck*
8/23Cirno: *flinches at the feeling against the back of her neck* Mmm... *shivers, and continues to dance her wings against Usagi's*

Usagi: *pants heavily, enjoying the things that are being done to her*
8/23Nitori: *continues to kiss her, while reaching a hand around to please Usagi at the same time*
8/23Cirno: Mmm...! *turns around slightly, pleasure rippling through her very being, and kisses Nitori*

Usagi: *feels one of Cirno's wings slip between her legs, and rub against her core*
8/23Nitori: *leans into the kiss, lowering her other hand to cut to the heart of the matter, and teasing Cirno right where she wanted to be*
8/23Cirno: Y-yes... Right there...! *drools, panting hard*

Usagi: *back starts to arch, as the wing rubbing starts to get to her, the insides of her wings each flickering with an aurora of colors*
8/23Nitori: *keeps pressing harder and harder, stroking right where she wants it. At the same time, begins sliding her hands up and down Cirno's wings*
8/23Usagi: *from all the wing on wing pleasure, finally gets sent over the edge, her wings blazing with a brilliant aurora that makes the temperature rappidly lower*

Cirno: *moans loudly from the sudden bonus wing rubbing, on top of what was already going on* L...! Love... you two...! *the sudden wave of cold sends her over the edge, causing the temperature to drop far faster, her wings blazing with an icy blue energy*
8/23Nitori: *sudden drop of temperature freezes her interior bowl, causing her to become locked in her current emotional mindset* *seeing that Usagi was the one who had not received as much personal attention, climbs over and begins to kiss her, her large posterior on display for everyone nearby*
8/23(Hehe, this is such an interesting combo! XD)

Usagi: *kisses back, legs wrapping around Nitori's back*

Cirno: *pants heavily, happily riding the waves of her after-glow*
8/23Nitori: *pulls the ice fairy off the ground, attacking her lips as her hands seek out two of her wings*
8/23Cirno: Mmm...! I-I'm still mm... I'm sensitive, still... *quivers in pleasure*
8/23(And yes, it is. Kappa can be dangerous if not careful...)

Nitori: *A foot reaches out to stroke the wings of the ice fairy in response to her words.*
8/23*The two fae begin to squirm in pleasure, obviously enjoying this a great deal*

-

Suwako: Boooored~
8/23Suwako: *harrumphs* Please. At least you got blessed by the tit goddess. I was blasted away before I had the chance.
8/23Suwako: *grins* If you feel them, it'd almost be like you having them youself, you know?
8/23Suwako: *snorts* You just want me to jerk you off, don't you?
8/23Suwako: Well, if you want to put it that way... But still, that isn't particularly my intention, at least at the moment... I mean, it'd be like an odd topsy turvy mirror, but regardless, you could imagine that you were blessed. ...Or, we could pass some time and do as you just said. *sticks her long tongue out and gives her a raspberry
8/23Suwako: *snorts* No thanks. I'm not that narcissistic. And no, Sanae copy, don't ask what it means.
8/23Sanae: Sanae is not a copy! *tears up and pouts*
8/23Sanae: *thwacks Suwako on the head, before thwacking the other one for good measure* Be nice you two, or I'll make sure you'll regret it!
8/23Sanae: You're so strong! Sanae is jealous! *grins happily, giggling a bit* Sanae only gets strong if she doesn't take her medication for a bit! Then she starts chopping things up!

Suwako: It's good to keep that to yourself, Sanae...
8/23Sanae: *raises an eyebrow* Surely, there should be something for that... At least, something that isn't so...
8/23Suwako: Talking in the third person is unrelated. She two sorts of insane at once... One is due to trauma, and the other is due to looking reisen in the eye...
8/23Sanae: *strokes her chin* So, what we need is a psychologist? Take he down to see the satori. Can't hurt. It might help her some, at least.
8/23Couldn't hurt... *shrugs* Alright, let's go, Sanae! *chuckles and hops a distance away, in the blink of an eye*

Sanae: Sanae is coming...! *chases after*
8/23Sanae: Oh well, at least I've got some peace and quiet now. *leans back, and enjoys the breeze*

Suwako: You know, I'm still- *thwack*
8/23Suwako: You could always come with us, Suwako~ I'm sure it'll be an interesting trip, if there's two of everyone down there...
8/23Suwako: I never even thought of that. Plus, it will get me away from her. *dodges the gohei and runs off with them*
8/23Suwako: Good! This'll be far more fun, like this~ Up, up, and away! *flys off*

Sanae: Sanae hates those jokes...
8/23Suwako: Suwako can only stand them too much. Hears Kanako making them all the time.
8/23Sanae: *grins* Sanae is happy that she is not alone in feeling that way, now!
8/23Suwako: *pats on her head* Now, let's go see how bad it will be with two sets of mind readers down there. *follows after Suwako*
8/23Sanae: *speeds along, trying to keep up*
8/23Suwako: *following her, looks on the ground* Huh... Looks like they're having a battle of the bands down there. Too bad the trumpet player is too busy becoming a goddess.
8/23Suwako: Heh... Yeah, truely a terrible thing. *shrugs* So, move on, or...?

Sanae: Sanae wants to listen for a while! Can she...? *puppy eyes*
8/23Suwako: I don't have a problem with it, myself. *shrugs* As long as I don't get hit on the head with anything.
8/23Sanae: Sanae doesn't think Sanae is following Sanae. *smiles*

Suwako: ...You make talking about doubles of yourself needlessly confusing, Sanae...
8/23Suwako: She made perfect sense to me! *ruffles the girl's hair* C'mon, nothing wrong with it. The satori will still be here for quite a while, so ain't like we'll miss out.
2 days agoSanae: Eheh! Sanae loves you, Suwako, and other Suwako! *gives a million dollar smile*

Suwako: *clutches heart* She... really is my... desendant...
2 days agoSuwako: Careful there, Sanae. You're just being too cute for us old folk. *still, pats her on the head again* I wish my Sanae was more innocent, like you are.
2 days agoSuwako: ...Before looking into Reisen's eyes she was far worse than yours is... She would kill youkai for fun, but make sure to leave enough that they could regenerate... It was honestly a bit disturbing... ...Which is why I only hope to fix the old trauma, and not the bit of comical insanity.

Sanae: Sanae was mean!
2 days agoSuwako: Understandable. My Sanae... That's the most relaxed she's been in years. Everything that's happened must have thrown her off. But normally, she's so paranoid, she gives us three passphrases we must answer before we could even go into her room. And she's stocked up on so many weapons. She expects the whole of Gensokyo to go after her one day.
2 days agoSuwako: ...You know, now that I think about it, I probably should have left Kanako a note...

Sanae: Sanae hopes she doesn't start crying again... Sanae finds that sad for several reasons.

-

Kanako: *wakes up* Ugh... my head...
2 days agoSanae: Oh great, one woke up. Welcome back to the land of the living. Need anything for that headache?

-

Suwako: I'm sure she'll be fine. Let's go to the concert!
2 days agoKanako: *smiles unintentionally charmingly, while rubbing the heavy lump on her head* Tea would be lovely, please, and thank you. My head's killing me...
2 days agoSanae: Too bad. This is all I've got. *thwacks her on the head with her gohei* Now, what's the passphrase?
2 days agoKanako: Oww! Wh-what...? What are you talking about, Sanae...? ...Wait, why aren't you talking like normal...? You sound almost like you're... *shudders* back to normal...
2 days agoSanae: Are you saying that I am... 'abnormal', otherwise? And no, that's not the passphrase. Even if you're not the original Kanako, you must know the passphrase for me to assist.
2 days ago*starts to spout of random words that a shrine maiden might choose, followed by those that an Otaku might choose, followed by those that an insane Shine maiden might use, followed by those that Sanae might use, followed by those that are the annoyingly generic passwords*
2 days agoSanae: Please, those are too obvious. The only one even close was swordfish, and that's just because it's so obvious that nobody would use it!
2 days ago*sniff* *pouts* Meanie...
2 days agoSanae: *raises gohei threateningly* I'm just going to have to wait until one of the others gets back. Maybe they can help you. If you're not an imposter.
2 days agoIf you're going to hit me, hit me... I don't really care... *lays back down* I already have a headache, so there's little more that'll come of it...
2 days agoSanae: You are about to witness the firepower of this fully armed and operation miko if you continue along that path.
2 days agoMeh, I'd rather find out now, so I can use that knowledge in the future. Who knows what situation might come up, where knowing how strong you are is a good thing...? Battle isn't always about winning, you know... To gain intelligence is a worthy goal...
2 days agoSanae: And to deny intelligence is just as worthy. At least you think ahead, rather than resting on your laurels.
2 days agoI have lost many fights in my time, you know... However, many of them are intentional losses... Not that Suwako isn't atleast twice my strength, as raising Sanae really took it out of me... *sigh* This old snake still has her fangs, but they have been dulled... I have more faith than ever, and yet I'm the weakest I've ever been... *chuckles* Funny, isn't it...?
2 days ago(*hugs* G'night~)
2 days agoSanae: I suppose that is plausible. Kanako decided to move here, because the kappa nad tengu are worth more faith than the humans of the outside. No matter that the outside humans are much more numberous, and quite a few are easier to get as worshipers... Wonder what goes on in her head.
2 days agoGods do work in mysterious, and sometimes plain stupid ways at time. *chuckles* Quite interresting to watch, really. Such as with Hina, who is plagued by her own misfortune, and the That young goddess, Usagi, who truely thinks she can get out of being a goddess just by having few worshipers... It's not quite that easy for a youkai...
2 days agoSanae; *shrugs* I suppose. Although, keep your eyes out for one of the harvest goddesses. They were possessed, and did a comple 180. *smirks* She even gained Suwako's faith.
2 days agoYeah, I already felt it. *smiles* Must have been one hell of a deal, though... Where I'm from, gods don't give faith lightly...
2 days agoSanae: *snorts* You might say that...
2 days ago...So, what is this amusing deal that she accepted?
2 days agoSanae: She received the bounty of harvest in her chest. *rolls eyes*
2 days agoWhat a... unique way to use her power... *chuckles and shakes head*
2 days agoSanae: *shrugs* We're in Gensokyo. Everyone here abuses their loopholes

(I wonder if you've figured out who caused the explosion, btw)
2 days ago(Yukari, or one working under her?)
2 days ago*grins* That's true! I mean, the place IS made by Yukari... It's to be expected! *chuckles*
2 days ago(Technically, Yukari was working on it, but none of her powers were used)
2 days agoSanae: I just hope that the other one doesn't get angry at having another intrude on her land.
2 days agoOhh, I'm sure there will be hell to pay. Though, I'm also sure she'll give that silver tongue of hers a rare workout when the time comes. ...One way, or another... *sighes*
2 days agoSanae: Eh, who knows. *shrugs noncommittedly* I just wonder why there has been nothing coming out of the SDM

(And you might say it was a ... miracle that it happened in the first place)
2 days ago(*sighs* XD)

Well, the one from my Gensoukyo is rather peaceful, what of the one which isn't? I'm going to assume it's not even slightly?
2 days agoSanae: Indeed. What could be keeping her locked up in the mansion, especially when there are so many humans she could take...
2 days ago...Yeah, I wonder why...

(Do you think having Remilia have Remilia over as a guest would be too strange? XD I can't think of anyone in my world else that might have even a chance to get along with her...)
2 days ago(It depends on how much Remilia thinks that she could manipulate Remilia to do her bidding. And as for getting along, remember poor Flan-chan... locked in the dungeon... all by her lonseome.

And also, there is only one person in Gensokyo capable of defeating her, due to fate manipulation.)
2 days ago(Yes, but it'd be easy enough to convince her that it's for her own good. I mean, mine still did lock flan up for 495 years without any breaks... No food, or anything... She's nicer, and yet can be a bit... pointlessly cruel in ways... Also, who's that?)
2 days ago(Eheh... Go look up the character titles on the Wiki, and tell me which one has the power to deny fate. :P And Remilia won't change anything. She's too set in her ways. She keeps Flan locked up because 'she's' more powerful, and likes to amuse herself with her pain)
2 days ago(Hehe, and my Remi/Flan are the reverse in power! XD Flandre being able to destroy anything does include fate, if she's close enough to see it. Flan was a willing prisoner, due to her having killed their parents by accident)
2 days ago(Haha, yeah. But remember what I said, deny, not destroy. And I wanted Remi to be badass, even if she was a bitch. But all you need to defeat her is the Spirit who leaves Fate to the Dream of Eternity.)
2 days ago(I was talking about my own! XD I don't like to cheat, so I'm trying to think of what it is...
2 days ago(XD, I know. I just wanted to clarify. And to give you a hint... It's a title from Dim. Dream)
2 days ago(...Is it Mima?)
2 days ago(True Goddess of the Shrine Hakurei? Yup)
2 days ago(I was hoping it wasn't the obvious! XD I mean, you did say awhile back that she was important in the fight against big sis Remi... Never expected that to be the why, though... Neat!)
2 days ago(It's the little details. And since she doesn't have a power, her earlier title gave me the idea. She's an evil spirit that literally said to hell with everything, and became a goddess. She doesn't answer to fate, not in the slightest. Her power is that fate cannot bend her to its will.)
2 days ago(Neat)
2 days ago(Oh well. Back to our currently scheduled program?)
2 days ago(Yep)
2 days agoSanae: Annoying subtitles... *thwacks the nearest cretin* At least we're free of those for now. But I have to wonder... If you didn't want the faith that badly, why did you come?
2 days agoKanako: Because it was only a matter of time untill my followers would get low enough that I can't sustain my body... In a world without magic, being worshiped was the only thing sustaining my body... In this world, I can sustain my body with just the magic in the air, so long as I atleast have a small following. I do miss having a normal body... Suwako still has her body, the lucky little frog that she is, and as such really doesn't care much about getting followers. She doesn't need them, after all.
2 days agoSanae: *watches her for a moment* Be sure you don't let Shizuha hear that, or you'll find another one gunning for you. But what is abnormal about your body now?
2 days agoKanako: I'm not the odd one for being made of faith and magic... Suwako is, for having a body even after... Gods, how old IS she...? I'm not even sure! I lost my true body in battle long ago...
2 days agoSanae: Hrmm.... *strokes her chin* Could it be that she is still bound to the eart, as she is bound to her descendant?
2 days ago*shrugs* Could be... *smirks* You sure are interresting to talk with, Sanae. *chuckles and grins*
2 days agoSanae: *twitches* I think I'm going to hate my name, considering how much I talk in the third person.
2 days ago*Grins crookedly* I could always just call you green. I'd say this to my Sanae, but she might start reffering to herself as Green... "Green doesn't like when you have your elbows on the table!" Ahh, or you could use this opportunity to have a body double, by talking the same as her... You'd never have to worry about assassins coming for you and being able to tell who you are, ehh? *chuckles*
2 days agoSanae: I already have twenty three different countermeasures against various types of assassinations. Although, an extra one is never unwanted. I shall take it into consideration.
2 days agoEhh? I was only kiddi- Wait, twenty-three? That's a lot, isn't it...?
2 days agoSanae: You can never be too prepared. Especially as a human in a land of monsters.
2 days agoTrue enough, I suppose... To be unprepared for combat at any time is just asking for trouble... If one expects the unexpected, one must first expect the expected, and then guard against all things that are expected expected or unexpected.
2 days agoSanae: Indeed. Which is why I am so distrubed by the encroachment of an entire new world, which acts on so many different levels.
2 days agoTrue... If you'd like, I could give basic knowledge on any residents that you're curious about.
2 days agoSanae: *shrugs* All I need to know is how to kill everything. Just in case.
2 days agoNone of the weaknesses of a vampire truely kills them, and only weaken, or damage them. Well, save for a stake through the heart, but... That'd kill anyone... winter fae can melt, summer fae can be put out, spring fae can wither, and autumn fae don't have a particular weakness, but are usually peaceful. A weapon of leagacy - which would be a weapon with a history and name to it, is needed to kill any youkai for good. Holy energies can kill the vast majority of youkai, too, but they can still get up from most anything...
2 days agoSanae: Hrm... As well as a big enough explosion, I do hope. Still, I have my seals and my gohei. And, worst comes to worse... I can always expect a miracle to save me.
2 days agoHrm... I don't think an explosion would be able to, unless it's incendary...
2 days agoAhh, and Rumia is only killable if you manage to shatter her two cores... Though, that would be in par with shattering oni-steel...
2 days agoSanae: *smiles slightly* like I said... that might take a miracle.
2 days agoThough, with Yukari... You'd be pretty much out of luck, as she can do just about anything... Though, she seems to fancy Sanae for some reason, so I doubt she would ever do anything more than try and give you a hug.
2 days agoSanae: ......*shivers*
2 days ago*shrugs* Just be sure not to panic, and I'm sure she's stop eventually.
2 days agoSanae: I'll be sure to do that... *begins glancing around worridly*
2 days agoThough, if we keep talkinging about her, she's sure to show up... She can hear all, you know... And uses that to be annoying.
2 days agoSanae: That might be why I feel like I'm currently being violated.
2 days agoOhh, and watch out for fae with black sclera. They do like human flesh...
2 days agoRoger that. Watch out for black eyed fairies. Might get my steel reinforced gohei out...
2 days agoAnd the best way to deal with Yuuka is to not. Don't go out of your way to avoid her, but if you anger her, she will gladly torture you. Obviously, don't eat any meat offered by youkai, unless you want to develop a taste for such things. *thinks a moment* Especially at Eintei. That damn doctor is always looking for test subjects, and can't be killed, much like her princess and the "husband" of the princess.
2 days agoRoger that. *blinks, and stares her down* Wait a moment... husband?
2 days agoMokou, due to a misunderstanding, ended up in a bit of a bind. The two of them are to wed within the next 100 years. I suppose... fiance would be more accurate.
2 days ago*can't help the grin that is trying to come over her face* Accidentally, hrm? How many times have they killed each other?
2 days agoThey fight daily, so I think they have done so quite a bit...
2 days ago*snorts* go figure. at least I don't think Mokou is that.... clumsy here. Especially after Kaguya turned down Mokou's father a millenia ago
2 days agoWell, the Mokou here tried to make-up with her, due to... well, she can hardly remember her father anymore, from what I've heard. She phrased it badly, and this went off from there. They do still fight to the death, though.
2 days agoNaturally. I don't know Fujiwara that well, but she still remembers as far as I know. But then, she could just be holding onto it, as something familiar. Drives Keine crazy.
2 days agoThat one constant thing in their lives that has never changed. *chuckles*
2 days ago*shakes head* At least our village was reasonable. I don't see how humans could become so brash in yours, though.
2 days agoA shrine maiden is at fault for it, or so says Yukari... She's long dead, but I hear she became a god... It could be that she's... blessing... the villagers.
2 days agoWell... that probably won't last long. If the possessed Minoriko did anything... I wonder what they are doing down there.

-

Akyuu: *stares down at the crowd from her window* What is it that they want now?
2 days agoAni: ...They seem to be both happy and annoyed, judging by the looks on their faces... It doesn't seem like an angry mob, and yet it... does?
2 days agoAkyuu: *pushes the window open slightly* let's find out, shall we?
2 days ago*murmers about big-breasted bimbos, huge gazongas, my back hurts, and general sexism can be heard*

Flandre: Ehh...? You don't look funny, Meiling... Well, you look the same, but... your eye looks funny... *went to the wrong SDM*
2 days agoAkyuu: *smirks* Maybe we should make a list of which one makes which comments, and give them to the new goddess...

-

Meiling: *glances about worriedly* Who... why are you out here, Flan... *gives her a sharp look* You're not the one that lives here. But you should get out, before they realize you live here.
2 days ago(are here*)
2 days agoFlandre: Really...? If you say so, China! *skips off*
2 days agoAni: That does seem like a fun idea... *grins*
2 days agoMeiling: *smiles thinly* At least she didn't mean it badly...* *knifed*

Sakuya: *hrmph* Never would I have imagined that your duties would have allowed a sheep like you to let the girl free, but no matter. I will fetch her. The mistress would love to have another toy to play with. And so would I

-

Akyuu: Let's see... How many triple b's were heard?
2 days agoFlandre: *grins wildly to herself as she skips off* *Sakuya really shouldn't think out loud when around a vampire~*

-

Ani: I count seventee- No, wait... Eighteen!
2 days agoAkyuu: Hrm... Lots of blessings that are going to be bestowed, soon.

-

Sakuya: *does a flash step in with time, grabbing the back of Flandre's shirt, before flashing away*

(ZA WARUDO!)
2 days agoFlandre: *destroys the manipulation of time on the second one* Can we play a bit, Sakuya? I did come over for that, you know... *pouts* You were trying to be mean, weren't you...?
2 days agoSakuya: *steps around, not dropping her composure* All I wanted to do was to play, as well. And my lady would love to have you around to play.
2 days agoFlandre: Yay! *laeveteinn summons into her hand, and she shoulders her umbrella* You first? *grins happily, the staff burning to life* I heard there was another me here~ *grins less happily* So I came to play.
2 days agoSakuya: Certainly. Just come with me back to the mansion. I'm certain that we'll be able to find an equitable solution. Perhaps you can even meet her, if you're on good behavior.
2 days ago*Hmm... I suppose I'll play the idiot child in this situation... If I do, maybe I could start a little jail-break~* Yay! *hops happily! Lead the way, puppy!
2 days agoSakuya: *raises her eyebrow, before grasping her shoulder, and flashing away into the main hall of the SDM, where Remilia was waiting*

*timer started: 6'40"*
2 days agoHi Remi! *grins happily, still holding her blazing sword*
2 days agoRemilia: Indeed, greetings, young Flandre. I must say that the resemblance to my sister is quite noticeable. Please, do come in, and sit down. We've much to discuss. *This girl is rather disquieting. She is planning something...*

*timer: 6' 22"*
2 days ago(Out of curiosity, what is the timer for?)

I do try to look like me quite a bit! *giggles* I... think...
2 days ago(Until Remilia has secured Flandre's fate.)

Remilia: Well put. After all, appearances are quite the most important thing to keep... Take my home, for instance. How does it compare to yours? *sweeps her hands out, referencing the blood stained carpet and drapery, old wooden furniture, brass and gold fittings, etc etc*

*timer: 6' 03"*
2 days ago(Thought so.)

Mine's bright red! Yours is a bit... brown...? *giggles, and starts to crush the hundreds of eyes of fate that are appearing on her body* *Ohh~ She's much better at this than sis!*
2 days ago(Remember, my Flandre can do that too :P)

Remilia: I suppose it can be a bit dull at times. But that allows one to truly shine. After all, shouldn't the lady of the manor be more 'Scarlet' than her home itself? *not bad, not bad at all... shouldn't slow me down, though.*

*timer: 5' 49"*
2 days ago*Ohh, she's good... Must practice a... fair bit~* *starts summoning them to her hands by the bundle, instead of popping them one at a time at high speeds* *let's see if she can keep up with THIS rate of destruction...* But your outfit isn't very scarlet, either! *giggles*
2 days agoRemilia: As I said, I am Scarlet, though. Why should I bother to find something to imitate what I am, rather than letting my visage speak for myself? *not too bad, not too bad. But you will fall*

*timer: +15 sec 5' 54"*
2 days ago*giggles once more* You look look more pale, than scarlet~ Maybe if the little puppy were to give you a spanking you might be slightly scarlet... The only thing scarlet about you is your eyes~ *Tries to annoy her, and distract her*
2 days agoRemilia: *just smiles widely* And the eyes are the window to the soul. But you should no that being Scarlet is more than just being a color.

*timer: 5' 32"*
2 days ago*tilts head* What's it about...? *starts to vaccum them into her hand, making an audiable pop with every enormous payload of eyes that go pop in her hands*
2 days agoRemilia: It's a way of life. Knowing how superior you are to all that you see. Knowing that you have true power, but only if you... 'wield', it. *grins widely.

*timer -60 sec 4' 15"*
2 days agoRemilia: *foolish child... Dammit, she should have waited...* *after having had learned of what was going on from ...someone wanting entertainment, they had been preparing to attack, but Flan ran off ahead* Patche, status.

Patchouli: She's losing. Slowly but surely, she's losing.

Remilia: Grrr... Let's get moving...

*The group of all of the names of note within the SDM, save for Flandre, had used the opportunity, and lack of a gate guard, to infiltrate the mansion*

Remilia: *searches through the strands of fate, looking for where Flandre's is* Ahah... *starts following it, picking off bits of manipulation as she went*

-

Flandre: *growls internally, and her eyes begin to flare up, giving her kyuu a bit of a further boost*
2 days agoSakuya: *flickers* Mistress, intruders. Damn guard seems to have abdicated her position.

Remilia: Indeed... Interesting. What wing are they in?

Sakuya: Lower east wing. Opposite of the library. Nice and empty, currently. Just give me the word.

Remilia: *flashes her eyes* It is the gate guards fate to stop them now, or die trying. Make sure she has plenty of 'time' to accomplish her objectives.

Sakuya: *flickers again* Done.

Remilia: As for you...

*timer - 180 sec 30"*

-

Meiling: *rubs the back of her head, as she feels herself being pulled along the corridor* So, that's how it's going to be... *sighs, and waits for them to approach her*
2 days ago(Jeez, I guess I now need to see if Flans final trump card can work XD; 180 seconds, wow...)

Flandre: *growls, her wings quiver, the bark of them darkening, the shafter lengthening, and the stones begin to glow violently, building up more and more energy within, untill they are as bright as a sun. Exactly as bright as a sun. Burning the both of them with the artificial wings* *raises her wings once, and beats them, a void of destruction beginning to suck in eyes like a blackhole sucks in light*

-

Remilia: *eyes go wide* Ghh... Try and force fate to do your bidding, will you...? Well, let's see about setting things back to the way they should be! *takes out a pair of knitting needles, and plops down, knitting fate to the shape she chooses, and what she chooses is for Flandre to be free of the bindings of fate*
2 days agoRemilia: *grins widely* Now, this might be interesting... If you are a Scarlet indeed. *flaps her wings as they begin to glow, and she flies up into the air* Now, let me indeed see how much that you can destroy... *holds her hands up, and the strings of fate manifest about her, glowing lines that wrap around her eye*

-

Meiling: *spots them in the distance, and feels herself being pulled forward. Approaching Remilia, tenses, and leaps into the air* I am sorry that I have to do this....
2 days agoMeiling: *jumps at Meiling* Your fight is with ME.
2 days agoMeiling: *smiles at her* Good, then. Perhaps she can save both of them, then. *launches a fist at Meiling* What type of Meiling are you, anyways?

*timer: modifier +30 Flandre, +10 Remilia 1'01"*
2 days agoMeiling: *dodges the fist, getting her hat knocked off* I'm an ex-oni! *takes a fighting pose, a circular missing section of flesh at the top of her forehead*

Remilia: *knits faster, making a sweater out of fate, and starting on the next attack of fate manipulation, this time trying to make lots and lots of socks* D-dammit, that's a lot of fate! *knits like wild, but still can't quite keep up with it, but the rest is slowly being eaten up by destruction*

Flandre: *creates an orb of blackness, and throws it at Remilia, un-making anything it might come in contact with*
2 days ago(I wonder how warm sweaters of fate are?)

Meiling: *smiles at her* Good. I'm glad to see that other versions of me are not so easy to tame. *lets a rainbow colored pinwheel of danmaku fly forward, before following closely behind*

Remilia: *shakes her head* You're almost out of time, Flandre. But why do you resist? After all, once I'm done, we can play all that you want...

Sakuya: *smirks and twists a dial on her watch, dilating time enough so that it slows down outside of the room Flandre and Remilia are in*

*timer: modifier +3 Flandre, 52"*
2 days agoSakuya: *speeds up time outside of Flandre's battleground, slows down time inside of it, and appears behind Sakuya, slashing at her throat*

Flandre: *creates a swarm of those same black balls, and sends a storm of them at Remilia* I will not "play" to your tune! I will forge my own fate in blood, if need be!

Remilia: Forge... fate... in... blood. There. *starts work on making a scarf as fast as her arms will allow*

Meiling: *flips through the hole in the wheel, and gives a blow towards Meiling's head, with the intention of knocking her out*
2 days agoMeiling: *makes no move to block, but feels a string pull up her arm anyways* Good. of the twelve of my kind, I am one of the ones least suited for fighting an Oni. Please don't hold back.

Sakuya: *instantly raises her ownknife, blocking it* Oh, a version of me? Good. Very good. I wonder how much you'll bleed... *tosses a few out and immediately slashes at her with her weak hand*

Remilia: *grins widely* Oh, your own blood then? Very well. Since you wanted to see her anyways... *calls out* Oh, sister~

*stones grind down below*

*timer: 45", dilation cancels out*
2 days agoMeiling: If you insist. *uses a finger as a spear and stabs at Meiling's kidney twice as fast as the prior strike*

Sakuya: *catches her by the wrist with her free hand, and tries to slash her throat, while trying to wrench Sakuya's arm out of the socket* *speeds up time for those outside of the room, and slows down time for those in the dining room*

Flandre: *creates an enormous ball of destruction which rappidly grows in size, stripping the flesh from the hand that Flandre is using to make it* *a great number of fate strads are obliterated by it, as though it were sucking them in*

Remilia: Crap, crap, crapcrapcrap... Another Flan is coming... *keeps up her work*

Patchouli: *releases a spell that seemingly does nothing for the time being, and begins to ready the exact same spell, silently*
2 days ago(Ok, cheap. But since Patchouli can't do anything outside of her library... yet at least. :P)

Sakuya: *slips out, sneaky as a snake, while plunging a knife into the hand that was trying to undo her arm*

Remilia: *strands instantly begin to repair* Now, now now... We'll have none of that... Ah, here you are, sister! Come and join in...

Flandre: *appears from the basement, wincing at the bright light of the candlelit room* What are you.. *spots a copy* What's going on here?

Remilia: Oh, lots have happened since you last came up. But since you're asking... A copy of you wants to play. *grips the strings* And you'd hate to fail her, wouldn't you?

Flandre: *arm raises on its own, summoning her own Laevatein* Sister, please don't make me-

Remilia: *tugs again, sending her to attack the other Flandre* Oh, what a tangled web we weave... oho...

Meiling: *takes the hit, but keeps going* I'm just glad that I'm the only one of my sisters that fell to her hand. I couldn't help it, being lead around by the nose, like a sheep. Be glad that you are what you are, Miss Hong.
2 days agoMeiling: I am. *smiles sadly and detonates a bullet of ki that she left in Meilings punctured kidney, hoping it doesn't kill her*

Remilia: *Continues to weave the fate of flandre, and starts to try and work a bit on the other flandre at the same time, seeing if she can free her of the bindings of fate* *It's a two-person muffler* (XD I can't stop chuckling at my own bad joke)

Flandre: Dammit... *throws the enormous blob of destruction, and blocks Flandre's blade*

Patchouli: *lets go of her second spell, having it have predicted complications with the first, and then launches the resulting stone through the walls, where it suddenly impacts with the orb, causing a chainreaction within it*

sakuya: *chases after the other Sakuya, speeding up time on her hand a great deal for a moment so that the wound clotts*
2 days agoPatchouli: *freezes* Dammit... Someone's destroying the manor... have to assist. Why would they... *is forced to start chanting, beginning to weave a spell in her library*

Sakuya: *grins and leads her away, before flashing towards the other Remilia* Why, hello there, meat...

Flandre: *jerkily holds up her hand and clenches, destroying the orbs of destruction* P-please... run. Get out of here. You can't save us both...

Remilia: *smirks and uses the opportunity to speed up bonding the other Flandre*

Meiling: *is skewered in two by the explosion, thrown against the wall* Heh... Now that's done with.
2 days agoMeiling: I'm sorry. *bows quickly and runs off to assist Remilia in the best way she can* *runs up to Remilia, and presses the loli's face into her breasts, and deflects the knife* Why must you like such things...?

Patchouli: *senses magic and begins to silently chant*

Remilia: Hoo, boy! *begins to knit at blinding speeds, slowing down the bonding with Flan, and weakening the one with other flan just a bit*

Flandre: *the addition to her destruction that Patchouli had made detonates, and cause the huge orb to break into thousands of little orbs, intent on making swiss cheese of Remilia, and do a number on the fate that is coming from Remilia*

Sakuya: *throws a knife, with the intent of hitting Sakuya in the thigh, and through a major nerve*
2 days agoRemilia: *simply absorbs all of them, tossling her hair* I've bound myself to this world for centuries. There isn't any attack anyone can make that will cut those threads. *raises her hands once again, and the eyes of every object in the room light up, before shooting threads at Flandre*

Flandre: Guh! *her own thread shoots forward at the other Flandre, large and thick enough to be visible. As it approaches her, Flandre starts to turn pale, the life starting to fade from her face*

Patchouli: *creates a feedback loop, linking her spells with her counterpart*

Meiling: *arms starts crawling forwarD* Oh, you've got to be kidding me... *silently makes her way towards the three*

Sakuya: *grins widely, before clicking a button on the watch* Because I appreciate true art. Have you seen what can be created by a skilled lady, when gifted brush and paint? I do the same... But with knife and flesh, instead. *flickers again, having deflecting the incoming knife*

*and since we've forgotten the past few times... timer: 5"*
2 days ago(Awkwardly, mine was making a couterspell! XD I'm not sure how to factor that in... Also, which Flandre is turning pale?)
2 days ago(mine is. And it's just a constant feedback loop! After all, she doesn't know what spells are being made, so she can't subvert that, now can she?)
2 days ago(So a couterspell would counter that loop, or...)
2 days ago(It wouldn't explode or anything. at worst, it would fizzle. and more than likely, nothing would happen)
2 days agoYukari: *sighs* I guess they didn't win this time, either... *has repeated this battle thrice, and yet it always ends in a loss for the team of good* They didn't even work together well, this time... Flandre running off ahead... Well, I suppose I'll continue watching for now, and hope for a miracle~ Can't have my most easily manipulated troops taken out of the game, now can I~?

-

Patchouli: *the spell fizzles a pops* Dammit... I suppose I'll just have to use my stones, if this is how it will be. *tosses a philosopher stone into the air and smacks it with her book, setting it off*

*All of my SDM explode into smoke, and are gone, back in their own mansion once more*

-

Yukari: Ohoh? Retreat, is it? Well, that's an upgrade... But with the Sakuya of this place, will that even help? She seems quite able to give chase...
2 days ago(The plan was to actually lose, giving you the excuse to bring 'everyone' down on the SDM. But... let me work.)

Remilia: *smirks, taking in the destruction* Sakuya? *maid appears beside her* a view into their domain, please?

Sakuya: *clicks, and space time is bent, giving view of flandre*

Remilia: And now, for the finale. Three.... two.... one....
2 days ago(My gensoukyo is rather... divided... so there really would be no motivation to help free them! XD; )

Flandre: Ghh...!

Remilia: ...Dammit...

Flandre: W-what? *now under your control*

Remilia: Dammit!

Flandre: W-why can't I move...?

Remilia: *takes a spear from the wall, and knocks Flandre away from the group in what little time untill Flandre became hostile yet again... but this time, for real*

-

Yukari: Eyup...

(Plus, I don't really think in a "let's help them" sort of way, so my world reflect myself... How I view humanity is what shaped the village, after all.
2 days ago(Well, there is more than one. And I think you can find 'plenty' of people with a grudge against Remilia. Oh, and mention all the loot in the mansion, too. And I think taking two Flandre's would count as an incident, yes?)

Remilia: *smirks widely* Good... Now, I need my little puppet to come and join my sister. Don't you hear that, Flandre?

Flandre: *breathes heavily, while staring down at Remilia* You mean you...

Remilia: Indeed. Oh, it will be so fun to have a new playmate, won't it?

Flandre: *tears up* No! You can't do this! Not her too...

Remilia: I think you've forgotten one thing, sister. I already have.

(But think of. The harder the journey, the more satisfying the reward. And are you going to let evil Remi take 'both' big sis Flans?)
2 days ago(B-but she already did... And I've no idea how to fix it... about 60-80% of my chars don't even have a personality as of yet, or any thought put into them...)
2 days ago(Well, let's get her back then, shall we? And as for personalities, a lot of mine don't, either. And is Remilia too prideful to seek the help of 'anyone' out? Or would any of the others? Don't forget Cirno and Usagi? What about them? Then you'd bring Nitori into play, which alone could possibly bring the mountain in.)
2 days agoRemilia: *stands her guard, ready to attack if need be*
2 days agoRemilia: *pulls the strings on the other Flandre, calling her back to her own home*
2 days agoRemilia: *trembles* Flan... *in her hand, the spear creaks*
2 days agoRemilia: *pulls harder, forcing her to come, or she won't like it*
2 days ago(I said that she's now under your control! XD I have no idea how else to do this...)
2 days ago(Oh, alright. I thought I was just gonna force it. But ok)

YFlandre: Remi... *wings jerk and she takes off* I can't.... Please... Remi, help me! *is forced through the window against her will, and streaks off towards the other SDM*
2 days agoRemi: N-no... Flan...! *as she tries to take off after her, Meiling holds her back, followed by Patche slapping her*

Patchouli: If you go, we'll lose you too...

Remi: *struggles* Let me go...!

Meiling: I'm sorry, but I can't... It pains me to say it, but we've no chance against that... creature...

Remi: *tears well up* B-but... Flan...! She took my sister! She took the last family I have left!

Sakuya: ...I do think you are forgetting another member of your family...

Remi: ...Ahh... M-maybe... maybe if we get her to hel-

Patchouli: The girl's a weakling, Remi... However, she has... Actually, we shall retreat to my chambers, as I'm sure we are being watched...

*they all retreat to Patchouli's hole into another dimention*

Patchouli: Your youngest sister is weak, but she has... numerous powerful friends... If asked, she will surely bring them to bear, as she does love her big sisters perhaps a bit more than is healthy.
2 days agoYFlandre: *sniffles as she flies back to the mansion, ending up in front of that Remilia once more.*

Remilia: *simpers* Good girl... Now, Sakuya, have them off to their room. I'm sure that we'll be expecting company soon. I wouldn't want you two harmed before we can play.

Sakuya: *flickers, and they are in Flandre's room* Now, stay down here, meat, and don't make a peep. If you , I'm going to be slow with you later... *flickers away, not even bothering to bolt the door*

Flandre: *sighs, and tosses herself on the bed, lighting up her wings to give light* Great. Just 'great' I discover there's another version of me three minutes before she gets stuck in the same place I am. I hate my sister...

(As long as Remilia is not actively controlling her, you have control. But, you can't leave, although you can try)
2 days ago(Yeah, I figured...)

Flandre: ...Sorry... *sniffs, rubbing her eyes* I'm sorry I failed you... Learning that there was another of me, with a sister like... well, that... *sniffs* I... couldn't contain my anger... I let it get the better of me... If I had just... waited... maybe... maybe it wouldn't have been so bad...

-

Remilia: ...Sakuya.

Kauya: Yes?

Remilia: ...Tell littlest sister the news, and to gather allies. These allies are free to enter the mansion, Meiling, so let them in. Patche, I'd like a steak, if you would kindly make one.

Patche: Erm...

Remilia: The silver kind. Apparently, going those... unique guests, the vampires of this world are weak to it.

Patche: Alright, Remi.

-

Sakuya: *finds Usagi and company in a near instant*
2 days agoNitori: *jumps out of the water* I-Izayoi! What are you doing here?

-

Flandre: *looks up at her, frustration on her face* *opens her mouth, but sighs* You're not used to someone like her... She truly is evil. No if and or buts about it. *smiles slightly* At least your family might come for you... You're standing on the only friend I have that isn't under her control. *points at the blood splatter*
2 days agoFlandre: ...He's a really quiet guy, huh...? Sorry... Bad joke... *hugs her legs to her chest, and flaps to as slightly less disturbing place to sit, as she doesn't feel like standing* I'm sure we'll get you out of here... I just know that big sis will come back... Maybe little sis, too... *starts cheering up a bit* Bringing that army of friends she has, she would, if she does...
2 days agoFlandre: *looks at her oddly* You have a little sister? how is that? I never... *looks away* I don't have any more family. Remilia isn't, and mom and dad died before they could have another... *looks at her jealously*
2 days agoFalandre: She was... an accident. I made her due to my ignorance of turning others... She's actually a mimic, who I apparently broke in a different way than the usual... She's very young, though. And, oddly enough, she has power slightly like mine.
2 days agoFlandre: *raises an eyebrow* Indeed. A power over the strings of fate itself? *shakes her head* No matter. Even together, we probably couldn't match sister... Would a third even help?
2 days agoFlan: W-well... It's not about her power, but... her utility... Her power is strong, and yet... very weak at the same time... *leans in and whispers her power*

-

Sakuya: I'm here to see the youngest scarlet about... pressing matters. Very, very pressing matters. Would you know where she is?

(She's in the hut/shack of a house by the way)
2 days ago(Roger that)

Nitori: Y-you d-don't mean... *takes a step back* W-what do you want with Usagi? You going to take her for y-your master? *blinks* Wait a second. W-which one are you?

-

Flandre: *blushes at the mention* Well, that could be distracting at the least.... But does my keeper-

Sakuya: *appears* Now, what was that about keeping quiet? *glances between the two of them* What you are plotting... No matter. The mistress has decided to move your feeding up this month, meat. I hope you enjoy it... it's been specially prepared. *flickers away, and she disappears, a body in her place*

Flandre: *eyes go wide* T-the human?

(I thought I'd through you a bone)
2 days ago(It would have brought you gensoukyo into the plan at this rate! XD That's THAT human, isn't it? THE human? XD I can't stop chuckling at him being alive again, and seeing Flan!)

Flandre: ...Why does he smell like the little pool? I've never seen a human return from being a little pool before...

-

I'll assume you mean... that sadistic one. I'm not so bad, so long as you don't make me cross. However... We failed an attempt at rescuing the Flandre of your world... And now... our Flandre has been taken.

Usagi: *Rushes out the door* Taken?! Flan?! What, who, when, how?!

...What doesn't really fit, Flandre, about ten minutes ago, and because she is now a puppet of fate...
2 days ago(Did I ever say he was alive? After all, I did say that the maid had taken the body...)

Flandre: I don't know, but maybe... maybe he's just out of it. *turns the body over, revealing the pale face, along with large gaping wounds on the torso* No...

-

Nitori: Spent too long in Remilia's presence? Ohno... She's gone then. Even after death, she can... Well. I've heard the shinigami say something about souls never leaving the house of the devil... *rubs her head* How can we do something about this...

Rika: *comes inside* What's that? Aunt Flan has been... *glances between everyone*
2 days ago(Ahh. Indeed. So, he's quite dead, no hope of bringing back? Quite the bone! XD)

Usagi: *trambles a bit* She's been... taken by Remilia... The one of this world... F-flan... *tears up*

Cirno: *comes outside* What's all the hubu- ...Alright, who made Usa cry, and how do I kill it?

Sakuya: Flandre couldn't kill "it" so I doubt you could, fairy. *gives her a cold look*

Cirno: Hey, you'd be surprised by the things that determination can d- wait, Flandre? Usa's big sis? ...What happened?

*retelling the tale*
2 days ago(Yup. But guess who's incoming upon the SDM now, because of that?)

Rika: Have you told anyone else? Surely there are others who could help... *thinks for a moment* The thought of Remilia being able to control two of her... The only thing that could happen next would be to take control of Aunt Remilia. *blinks* What about the miko?
2 days ago(Ahhhhhhhh, I see...)

Sakuya: This is my first stop. Next I will be going to... other places... ...The Miko being a very good start. Also, it's good to see you holding up well, Rika. *smiles*

Usagi: *brow twitches, as she hates trying to figure out who knows Rika* Aya!

Aya: Ayayaya... Whaaat... *makes her way out of the shack*

Usagi: Flandre's being kidnapped by Remilia. I think this would be enough to get the help of the Tengu, right?

Aya: Erm... You... you do realise that they are sisters, right...? That hardly seems-

Usagi: That would normally be true, but right now it's not. This is a different Remilia - an evil one, from the other world. And Flan is her... puppet.

-

Flandre: Aww...
2 days agoFlandre: B-but how? I killed him, so he could get out. So he could be free... Free of all this. How did he come back to life? *starts to tear up* Did that bitch go to the afterlife just to bring him back and feed him to me? W-would she...

-

Rika: Remember, there are two other ones, now. Ever since the worlds merged... *narrows eyes* And is that Wriggle back there too? What were you... Never mind. *shakes head, and flutters wings* Should I go and find someone else that might help?

(You know... I wonder what will come first. Su-san with Makai, Ruukoto and company, or something odder. Like porting Gray and team in from their dimension. XD)
2 days agoFlandre: ...I wonder if turning him would work after death... I mean, if he's full of blood still, it'd be quite similar to killing him by way of sucking him dry... How much does he mean to you? I hate seeing you so... distraut... *pouts*

(Something odder, indeed...)

-

Cirno: Maybe I could once more rally the ice pixies...

Mima: Though, if you do anything stupid, I'm going to beat you again.

Rumia: That is so~

Cirno: R-right. Hrm... So, Aya and wriggle can get aid from the tengu and gods, Sakuya from Reimu, Nitori from the kappa, Mima can get her pupil, I'll get the fae, and the rest of you can get anybody else.

Mystia: What about me...? I'm not sure who else there is...

Rumia: *giggles* Well, there's Yuyuko.

Mystia: *stiffens* *blushes brightly*
2 days agoFlandre: *shakes her head* He was the first free soul I've seen in so long... If we were to bring him back... No, we can't do that. At least he's free now, hopefully. And if he's not, he'd still be bound after death. *folds up in a fetal position* I just don't know what I should do, anymore.

-

Nitori: Where is everything. Just whre I left it. Oh, I left the fridge open. Those are going to be bad. Let me see, what else...

???: Hello in there? Is Nitori Kawashiro here? The other kappa sent me here...

Nitori: *freezes* Who is that there? No one comes up here. Not much, at least. But...

???: Hello? I'm coming in... *footsteps get a bit closer

Nitori: *waits a few seconds as she steps into the light* ...Mitori?

-

Rika: ...And if my calculations are correct. *rubs heaD* Oh, why is it so fuzzy... Oh, right. History changed. Must still be. I only saw them a little while ago...

Ruukoto: Encroaching target, Master. Seems familiar... The tank-girl that repaired me. Although... physiology has changed since our prior encounter.

-

Reimu: ...I'm sure you feel that on the wind. Another incident. Damn. Let me finish up sweeping...
2 days ago(Just so I can have something to do in more of the conversations, the Hakurei shrine landed next to... the Hakurei shrine. ...Unless you intended that.)

Reimu: I suppose it's about time we maidens earn our keep! *10 metres to the side, sweeping her own shrine* Why couldn't I have landed in a better place, though...?

Miko: *sips tea* It's nice having enough faith to actually exist again...

Reimu: *sighs* Please stop mooching off the poor.

Suika: But I've got nowehere else!

Reimu: Not you... Actually... You too, Suika!

-

(...I think I figured out what killed him! XD He's still a ghost, isn't he? XD After Hina gropped him off a cliff?)

Flandre: If you say so... *pats her back* If you need a hug at any point, though... I'm here for you. *smiles* If nothing else I can do, I can atleast cheer you up a bit.

-

Cirno: Any questions? No? Move out! We've an army to build!
2 days ago(Yup! And yes, he's still a spirit. Not a ghost, as only (evil) spirits escape from hell. And yes, they were going to be right next to each other.)

Reimu: Not that I was talking to you in the first place. *shakes head* And what's so wrong with where I'm located? if it wasn't for a bit of border manipulation, you'd have been living 'in' my shrine. Not that the goddess would have let that happen. *grumbles* Now where is the- hello, Sakuya.

-

Flandre: M-maybe later. I think I just need some time to myself at the moment. *wings dim until it's completely dark*
2 days agoFlandre: Mind if I sleep on your bed...? It's getting late... *yawn*

-

Reimu: *grumbles* Because I've never gotten any donation while living on this bit of land... *sighs* Maybe I should just give up on donations...

Yukari: Ohh, don't be like that, Reimu~

Reimu: Why shouldn't I be, mom...? I'f not for your gift of food I'd still be chasing around youkai, and eating their fear!

Sakuya: *smiles* Hello. I'm here to inform you two that the Remilia we failed to attack at Yukari's mention of her possessing a Flandre that she abuses has gained her... a second Flandre. She took her by force, by way of manipulating fate a great deal.

Reimu: ...Mom. What were you doing telling them to attack people...?

Miko: Yes, Dear, what WERE you thinking?

Yukari: W-well, Umm...
2 days agoFlandre: Go ahead. I won't be using it. Not for a long time.

-

Reimu: Remilia using her fate manipulation? *shrugs* As long as she's not acting out, it's not my problem. Unless you can tell me how this upsets the balance of Gensokyo?

*doors of the shrine stop creaking, as the building seems to be listening*
2 days agoYukari: Well, this was the best outcome I ended up with! I need to preserve the time stream, so I can't just... NOT tell tem. This time, they atleast escaped... The first time, Sakuya died, and Flandre was captured. The second, they all got captured. Third time, only Flandre was captured...

Miko: *sighs* What am I going to do with you...?

Reimu: *sighs* You could have still broken time. It's obvious that you've already messed up the worlds.

-

Flandre: Thank you, other me... I, umm... I hope you feel better soon, even if I don't really get it so much... Goodnight...
2 days agoFlandre: *is silent, staring at the body of the human*

-

Reimu: Yeah, I hear ya. So what if you think we should? This isn't our Yukari, so unless they explain to me- Don't you give me no lip, now! I can still whoop you, even if you are the goddess!
2 days agoReimu: *raises eyebrow* ...Is she okay...?

Miko: I think she's having a chit-chat with her goddess... *chuckles*

Yukari: Flandre has the power to destroy anything. Having two of them as something much like a puppet can't end well, when one is talking about a control-freak. I imagine that Remilia intends to use them to take over Gensoukyo.
2 days agoRemilia: Which means we have to stop her. Dammit, fine, you're right. Come on out so we can go get your apprentice.

Mima: *swirls up from the ground in a cloud of dust, as her staff falls from the torii over the entrance pathway* I never thought you'd ask, little shrine maiden.
2 days ago(*gasp* NO REIMU. YOU ARE THE REMILIA! ;P)

Miko: *brow twitches* Great... Mima...

Yukari: Hey, hey, hey, don't go picking any fights, doubly so now that a kitten could probably beat you. Plus, this isn't even the right Mima! She didn't kill you, let alone wrong you, I don't think

Miko: Grr... Fine. *pouts, and glares at Mima out of the corner of her eye*
2 days ago(XD What can I say?)

Mima: *Smirks* You know, I can't help it if the other part of me killed you. Course, I've got an alibi. I was burning in hell right about then, so it couldn't have been me.

Reimu: And that's because you're an evil, sadistic, twisted bitch when you want to be. I don't know how you could have gotten out.

Mima: What can I say? Not even fate itself can hold me...❤
2 days agoYukari: Only boring people aren't evil, sadistic, twisted bitches when they need to be. Heck, you'd probably get along just fine with Yuuka, Mima.

Reimu: *...Why do I have this hunch that she's going to be vital to our success...?*

Miko: *sighs* Have fun, all of you. *picks up the broom, and takes over sweeping*
2 days ago(XD What can I say?)

Mima: Oh, no, I can't stand her. She's much too nice... always putting her words in honey when she speaks.

Reimu: Enough. Let's go find your old apprentice. Where could she be...
2 days agoYukari: Around the Youkai Mountain area. Has yet to head home, apparently... With her is Alice, Alice, Marisa, a Lily, and Daiyousei.
2 days agoMima: Excellent... Let's give her a nice big welcome. *swoops off into the air, black wings beating powerfully*

Reimu: And I'll be damage control... *flies afteR*
2 days agoReimu: *groans, and flies off after them* Be sure to watch the shrine, papa... Your good for so little that there's little more I can ask of you.

Miko: And whose fault is that...?

Reimu: Yeah, yeah...

Yukari: *sighs, and gaps herself away*
2 days agoMima: *eventually comes upon Marisa* Oh, hellooo down there... ❤

Marisa: *squints into the sky* Is that...
2 days agoMarisa: Heh, looks like you get to see your master, ehh, ze~?

Alice: Now if only I could see mama, and Alice could see hers, everything would be perfect.
2 days agoMarisa: Mima! *leaps into the air and glomps the goddess*

Mima: *chuckles* How is my good little black magician? Been doing stuff the way I taught you?

Marisa: Yup!

Alice: So, you're the one who made her act this way?

Marisa: ...For the most part, at least...

Reimu: *finally catches up* And are you getting ready to fight already? We've got bigger things to worry about.
2 days agoReimu: *a short distance behind Reimu, riding her donation box like a horse* Whoa, there... *the box bucks a bit* I'm still not used to riding this damned thing... So, what's the hold-up?
2 days agoMima: Nothing at all1 I was just saying hello. I don't suppose I could have you come and help me deal with a problem? It'd be just like old time's sake...

Marisa: I don't see a problem... *glances at the others*

(sleepy. Good night. Don't want to screw anything else up by typing eyes shut)
2 days agoMarisa: Helping someone elses lady Mima? Hell yeah, ze! *grins happily*

Alice: I'll be coming, too, if only so as to prevent one of the Marisas from doing anything particularly stupid and/or evil...

(Forgot to include Medicine on the list of the chars left! XD)
2 days agoMedicine: Medicine wants to gas somebody, so she will come too.

Alice: *rolls her eyes* Well, if it's enough to bring the goddess out... Although, I've never known that she was that involved with Marisa... I might have to talk more with you about this, now.

Marisa: *rubs back of her head* Eheh... So yeah, sounds good what with me.

Mima: *grins widely* 'Excellent...'
2 days agoCirno: *gets gapped onto Mt. Shiro, for lack of a way to get in* Hrm... Well, that was to be expected... Well, best I summon the fae now! *starts to make an enormous horn, and blows into it, causing about 3 avelanches, and bringing about 1000 fae in minutes, as well as Letty, and her visitor, soon after*

Letty: What is it now...? You haven't used that thing in over 100 years! *rubs temples*

-

Mystia: *makes her way to the border of life and death*

-

Aya: AyayaYAyaya! *speeds past all of the guards, only being seen by Tenma herself*

Tenma: Ahh, Aya... It has been a long while since you've abused your speed in such a way, friend. *smiles slightly* Ahh, and the newest Tengu, Wriggle. ...Not sure why she's here, though...

Aya: No time to reminisce! Theres a war brewing, involving two of the scarlet sister that has power over destruction! *notices a second Tenma*
2 days ago(Oh, shit. XD Yes, I know I have one... Just need to figure out how to write him, though)

Tenma: Enthusiastic one, isn't she? *takes a drink*But to act in haste is the tengu way... For we can always patch it up later.

-

Yuyuko: Youmu... Someone comes. Please, lock the door. Don't let her near.
2 days agoYuyuko: Ohh, smells like... *sniff* Mystia? Why would she be coming to me for a change...? Usually she's too embarrassed to do such a thing~

-

Tenma: Yes, though, getting my fellow stuffy, reserved wolf tengu to listen to that point would be a bit... difficult.

Aya: So, about the war...?

Tenma: You have my half of the village. What say you, Tenma? *smiles* Though, I would like further details.

Aya: *tells what she was told, reading it strait from her scoop journal*
2 days ago(You forgot Letty! XD)
2 days agoTenma: *shrugs* You have my word to help you. But there's not much left of the old tengu village at this point. Most everyone has struck out on their own. Only a few of the old guards remain.

-

Youmu: *narrows eyes* If you suggest what I believe you are.. You may appear to be my mistress, but you are not her, in truth.
2 days ago(Ah, yeah! XD

Letty: *Rubs her own head* That was quite the disturbing sound... What did you do... Cirno? *tilts her head* Other Cirno. Still, nice to see you.
2 days agoYoumu: This is correct. However, the same is true of myself, towards your mistress.

Yuyuko: She does have a point, but so do you. So, whose point is pointer. ...Ohh, hello, Yukari~ *giggles* I have to assume that the plan to combine with another world was a success?

Yukari: *sighs* Yes, though I failed to get the good scarlet mansion to free Flandre from the... other one, and now that Remilia has control of two Flandre's...

Youmu: Ehh? What plan...?

Yuyuko: Ahh, how many times did they fail?

Yukari: Thrice. I re-did the events thrice, but the third time was the least... well, bad.

Youmu: What plan, lady Yuyuko...? *lost*
2 days agoYoumu: Really, now, you should know that Yukari is always planning something. Even if we nver see ours for years on end... She always has a plan about everything going on currently. *shrugs* Don't mind me though. Let me just go take care of the begonias...
2 days agoCirno: *holds up the horn* This is what I did. Letty, we need to prepare for battle! Usa's big sister, who has power over destruction, has been eslaved in some way! Prepare the troops, for we go to war!

Letty: Must I...? I was enjoying all this peace, save for when the mountain was blown up. Ohh, and these fae are the only ones that survived the spark that did it.

Cirno: Dammit... It'll be another day, at the least, untill they all get back up... *modifies the horn, and starts yelling into it* Sisters! ...Also sisters! I will not force participation this time, but I need your help in a grand battle! Do you Fight? Or do you cower, and let the enemy take what could end perhapse only at the world itself? Take up arms along side me! Join me in glorious battle once more, and maybe you might be free!

Pixies: *all at once cheering* Sarunoooo!

Cirno: ...That was easier than expected...
2 days agoLetty: *shakes her head* Be careful young one. You promise them much, even though your words meant something different. I would hate to see something happen...
2 days agoCirno: *chuckles* Well, I have to say words that even the dumbest of fae can get behind. Aaand glorious battle is one of them, oddly enough.
2 days agoLetty: I'm just saying. *shrugs* Plus, I'm worrying about little Cirno. I wonder if she's doing ok, wherever she is...
2 days agoCirno: Well, where is she normally?
2 days agoI find her on the misty lake, most of the time. *sighs* But the other fae sometimes takes her away for her own protection. As if I couldn't protect her... But I've actually gone, and not found her for a day or two.
2 days agoYeah, I live by the lake, and I've not seen her once... Well, if I do find her, and she's in trouble, I'll be sure to protect her for you, okay? *grins*
2 days agoT*nods* Thank you... I owe that little fairy too much not to wish her the best...
2 days agoYukari: Ahh, yes... That little issue. I also tried to fix the lack of Yukari. Succeeded, but then she chased me off, and then was once more put under.
2 days agoYoumu: Hrm. Not surprising. Yukari has spent many years setting everything up. I'd hate for it to go remiss because one interfered. Even if it was herself.
2 days agoYukari: Indeed~ And now she's been hidden from me, so I can't go and wake her up once again. I really do wonder where that fox took her...
2 days agoYoumu: *tilts head* Now, why would Ran do that? She's always been a kindly lady to all of us, and making Yukari remember her appointments. Even if her shikigami is a little...
2 days agoYukari: Why, indeed? She seemed quite... worried, I suppose, when I pretended to be her master having has woken up~ I doubt it's anything good...
2 days agoYoumu: Really, now? I wonder why that is. She always has our best interests at heart...
2 days agoYukari: Indeed. But enough speculation; have you any aid to give?

Yuyuko: I suppose I could send Youmu... I mean, it's not much, but there's very little I can do~
2 days agoYoumu: And you know how my mistress is. She's not well to be up. Unless you want her to eat every living soul she comes across.
2 days agoYuyuko: My, what a big appetite!

Yukari: Indeed, it is... Every living soul as in literally? Or practically? Kidding.
2 days agoYoumu: It is no joking matteR! The curse that she suffers from... *sighs* You would not understand.
2 days agoYukari: *shrugs* Tied more to the big 'ol tree than this pinkey? Feels hunger like no other? Devours like no other? I can get the gist of things, but I know not the exact details. I may not have a similar problem, but I can sympathyse, regardless.
Youmu: ...Pinkie?
2 days agoYoumu: *snorts* It is an apt description. But her power over death is as one with her hunger, unlike this one here. So, she starves herself eternally, so she causes no more suffering. But that is all for now. I shall wait for you at the entrance. *200 yojana away*

Yuyuko: *slowly shuffles through the door* That Youmu... *sighs* She is so like mother was... Always overprotective.
2 days agoYuyuko: *smiles* Prefferable to the opposite, surely?

Youmu: ...Shouldn't that be obvious, lady Yuyuko...?

Yuyuko: Ohh, shush, you... *giggles*

(You know, you make me majorly wonder how the ghost team IN went in your world... *cringes at the thought*)

Yukari: Hello there, other Yuyuko. *smiles*
2 days ago(Honestly? Yuyuko wouldn't have gone. She'd have forced Youmu to go check it out and help, and probably would have taken one of the Prismrivers with them. *shrugs* It's a bit of a mess in my headcanon, but I can sort it out. Maybe)

Yuyuko: Hello, stranger. I meant it quite literally. After all, she does carry the soul of my dearly departed within her body. *smiles sadly* What better to protect me from the evils of my hunger... * glances at her Saigyou Ayakashi*
2 days ago(Hehe, I'd love to see how your incidents all went! XD ...Especially EoSD... Though, I've said that before.)

Yukari: Indeed...

Yuyuko: Quite true~

Youmu: *nods sagely*
2 days ago(None of them would have gone quite the same. To be honest, Remilia probably would have lost on purpose, just to see how far she would have spread her tentacles. She doesn't go out of her way for something unless it particularly resonates. Other Flandre, for example. And Flandre fight would have been a ruse to establish just how dangerous she is, while making her seem guilty. PCB may not have ever happened, considering Yuyuko remembers. IN would have been similar, but Kaguya is a much nicer person than in canon... Which drives Mokou crazy. PoFV might have been the one closest to normal.

Oh, and just a warning, as I have to leave for Martinsville early tomorrow morning, so I have to go to bed around midnight-1ish)

Yuyuko: Oh well. Perhaps Youki would come to, once he comes out of his retreat. But as for the other residents, none of the others are here. Where could the Prismrivers be, I do wonder...
2 days ago(I'll miss you, if you can't get on once there! Also, that's another reason that my Kaguya and Mokou stopped fighting and are engaged! XD I mean, Mokou is a bit of a brat for wanting to kill Kaguya over her regecting one of many, many men...)

Yukari: Well, I suppose we should be going. Best not to dally, I hope you understand. *smiles*
2 days ago(By our standards, yes. But by then, she might as well have destroyed their family by her actions. We're talking about the difference of millenia, now. And I should be back tomorrow afternoon/evening sometime, so don't fret too much)

Yuyuko: *nods, and silently floats back inside*
2 days agoYukari: *looks at my Yuyuko*

Yuyuko: *nods, and walks after Yuyuko* If you like, we could chat a bit, Yuyu. Would help pass the time, I'm sure~

Yukari: *gaps Youmu and herself to the gate of the netherworld*
2 days agoYoumu: About time. Come. If we're getting it done, we better get it done now. Just bring the night sparrow along, so she doesn't wander too closely.

(Gonna see if I can get a nice 6k word chappie out before midnight. at 2.5 now. No guarantee that will work, based on cutoff and all... But we'll see.)
2 days ago(So, shall se see about getting Makai involved? Now seems like a good time for a scene change.)
2 days ago(Sounds good for me!)
2 days ago(How though? I'm not too sure...)
2 days agoSu-san: And that's that, Ma. She's gone to fight the pixies in the mountain, and she's already been hurt by the grimoire, and...

Shinki: *leans down and pats her head* It is alright, young one. But I'm afraid that that battle already took place.

Su-san: Is she?

Shinki: She is fine. Do not worry your little head any. But for now, we shall go out, since has plenty has happened in the outside since you've arrived. Isn't that right, Yumeko that is not mine?
2 days agoYumeko: *steps out of the shadows* Indeed. Do you need them to be recounted, or do you already know. I am sorry, but I do not know the exact extent of your power.

Shinki: *flitters wings slightly, keeping herself in the air* It was definitely quite the surprise to meet another of myself.
2 days agoShinki: I know plenty. After all, I did have the resources of one of my spies, who has been keeping track of the outside. *pulls out a carpetbag from a shelf, of which there are various papers inside." The news of a merger has been interesting, to say the least. However, such a thing has not occurred here. Instead, our two realms are but separate. So what is it that you are prepared to ask of me, Maid whom wields swords?

(try and guess the spy. :P)
2 days ago(Errrrrrr... Can I get a hint? XD)

Yumeko: Assistance in unsealing our gate, so that we might march to the aid of Gensoukyo.
2 days ago(Carpetbags were traditionally used by travelers. It's a bit of a Southern thing, so may have gone over a bit.)

Shinki: Then, tell me, how long do we have?
2 days agoYumeko: By my estimates, the battle will begin 36 hours from now, give or take. One does not attack a vampire in the night, and They will not be ready in 12, I don't think.
2 days agoShinki: *walks over to the window, gazing out* However, you are perfectly capable of entering ours. So, you have a way around. Take that for now. I'll permit troop movement through my land. Afterwards, we'll see about removing it.
2 days agoYumeko: Yes, lady Shinki. *vanishes with a bow*
2 days agoShinki: As for you... Mass your forces near the border. Three hours until daybreak, and from then we will march. I've... my own to attend to.
2 days agoShinki: *smiles* I will be sure to, lest I allow the land to fall to darkness. Farewell~ *3 pairs of wings spread into 10, and she teleports home*
2 days agoShinki: *shakes her head* You should not fear the darkness, for it swallows the burning light. *turning back to the bag, she speaks into it* Louise, give me the status of the outside.

Louise: *head appears in static* It's accelerating quickly. A large portion of the mountain has been recruited, as well as the pixies in Mt. Shiro. The kappa have not as quickly responded, but the most important members have started to prepare. Just as well, the Netherworld has sent their gardeners to trim vampire's gardens. The human village is hunkering down, as the goddesses have set up as a defense in preparation for a counterattack. That is with the exception of the original Hakurei goddess, who has reunited with her apprentice to assault the manor.

Shinki: Well done. And I must commend you for setting up your spy network so thoroughly. I did not expect you to penetrate the mountain already.

Louise: As you know, there is nothing that can stop a demonic tourist. Also, there is something else... The human? He is on the move. But a spirit, he is also preparing to assault the mansion himself. From what I've heard, it is for the retrieval of his body.

Shinki: Really? I wonder why he did not return here. No matter. I offered him friendship, and I will keep that promise. We will march by his side.

Louise: *waits for a moment, before fading out*

Su-san: T-the human is dead, too?
2 days ago(So, what now?)
2 days ago(mmm. Time skip? Your preparations? We've got our pieces aligned... But I've one thing to do before dawn)
2 days ago(I have no idea! XD; )
2 days ago(mk. Gonna get this done, then)

Sakuya: *smirks as she strolls through the village on the moonlit night, before slipping towards the center of town silently* *behind her, she pulls two bodies, more effortlessly than should be possible* *once reaching the center of town, steps up to the dragon statue. With one quick stab, she pushes the bodies of both chiefs against the statue, pinning them against it with a single knife, before disappearing*
2 days ago(Poor chief...)
2 days ago(good riddance to the elder, though. Start when you're ready to)
2 days agoAni: ...No major loss from the death of the elder, but... wow... *stares at the dragon statue*
2 days agoAkyuu: Indeed. But we must continue to go onward. As little as we could do against her, the less we would be capable of on the front lines. Keine, is it possible...

Keine: *walks over, kneeling next to the chief* No, he's gone too long. The soul is too far away.
2 days agoAni: *sighs* From what little I knew of him, he was a good man. I hope he finds rest.
2 days agoAkyuu: Yes, we will. But there's no time to mourn. Let's get their bodies down and hunker in. Let everyone else take the position, and have revenge for us.
2 days agoAni: Agreed.

Kurumi: *pulls the knives out with ease* *holding a black parasol to stave off burning*
2 days agoAkyuu: You all! Help carry them away. We need to prepare the rites... and to pay the dues to the dead.

Various Humans: *come forward with stretches to lay the bodies on, and take them out of the sun*
2 days ago28 hours later:

*all of the troops that will gather have gathered and are trying to figure out who will lead the troops, while staying a distance from the mass section of pixies*
2 days agoMima: You know, since I am the goddess in charge of all Hakurei, perhaps I should *whacked*

Reimu: And I'm the miko, and do all of the work. So leave it to me.

Meriko: Why noooot let me do it? It sounds like it'd be fun. We'd all have a blast!

Ruukoto: I predict greater success if we stop dithering and focus on recovering the masters body, post-haste. He is presently decomposing as we speak.
2 days ago(Won't get the chapter done tonight, but would you like to see the first segment, since I've almost gotten it done?)
2 days agoCirno: Though I've no idea who that is, I think the metal girl has a point... It would be best if we simply moved out. As such, I'll simply lead the troops! Mine are immortal to a point, so we'll be the front lines! Pixies! Move out! *points her sword to the sky*

*The pixies all move towards their target in a semblance of a formation, hovering a bit for conservation of energy*

Letty: *sighs and forms a trident of ice, chasing the back of the formation*

Reimu: *rides her donation box like a horse, going after them* Finally...

Alice: *has her swarm of dolls playing the role of scouts*
2 days ago(I'd rather wait, hehe. I already see enough early, as it is! XD)
2 days ago(Alright, if you're sure. It's a bit more fluff, so I thought you might like it)

Mima: *rolls eyes* Remind me if I'm wrong, but they will eventually die for good, won't they? Don't need to do a suicidal charge, hopefully.

Letty: *glares at her* Be nice about Cirno. She's taking action, and not sitting here like everyone else.

Alice: *looks at the entire line of dolls next to her, dressed in all of their magically enhanced finery* I suppose I'm ready, and so is Marisa. Although I do have the feeling that something will be happening soon.

-

Remilia: *grins widely* So, Patchouli, you understand what it is I ask of you?

Patchouli: More like tell, Miss Scarlet. Why could you not have stayed as you were in your younger days?

Remilia: You know how dangerous a rhetorical question is, Patchy. And also how useless. Sacrifice the stones, and raise the barrier.

Patchouli: Then those spirits you've gathered will be torn asunder in the process.

Remilia: Do I look as if I care?
2 days ago(Ohh, I will like it, but I'd preffer not to have to figure out what to skip when I read the actual chapter! XD)

(What exactly will be effected by that?)

*the pixies continue their charge, Cirno and Letty in the rear*
2 days ago(:P very well... it's at 4k, and that's where I'm stopping for tonight, if you're wondering. And you'll see.)

*the library starts to glow, as lines of power streak down its side and towards the ground, when all of a sudden, a beam of light shoots half a mile in the air. The light keeps traveling upwards until it spreads apart, creating a giant dome over the island the mansion is on*
2 days ago(Are they on the island? I'm not sure where we're starting from...)
2 days ago(You're on the mainland. Nobody's made it to the island yet)
2 days agoCirno: WOAH! What hell is THAT?! Hold, men!

*pixies look about, quite confused*

Cirno: ...Women, I mean. Alice, what's that?!

Alice: I'm... not sure... *fidgets* I'm not very good with identifying magic...

Patche: *begins to silently cast a spell that will show the workings of what it may be*
2 days agoRemilia: *grins, as she marches the two Flandre's onto the lawn*

Flandre: *shivers to herself* What does she... Oh, no.
2 days agoFlandre: W-what...?
2 days agoFlandre: Do you remember when the meteor came down that one time, and Remilia had us blow it up?
2 days agoFlandre: ...Yeah...
2 days agoFlandre: *hand is slowly forced up* Well, now, we've got plenty of targets to pick from... If we had the luxury of choice. *tears up as her hand summons a pixie's eye, and slowly crushes it*
2 days agoPatchouli: *shouts with a voice amplifying spell* Dilduck! *cough cough*

Flandre: With the password said, the crystals of her wings each explode, making her unable to use the level of power that they give her, or fly* ...Oww...

Remilia: ...Atleast we have that failsafe, in case she truely goes insane...

Cirno: Retreat! Fall back, pixies!
2 days agoFlandre: Lucky. Hopefully that will help. *lifts her hands up and keeps plucking eyes out of the sky*

Mima: *narrows her eyes* Alright. We need to get through that barrier. Focus your fire on a single point. *narrows her finger, highlighting a portion of the barrier*
2 days agoCirno: Up! Go up, and get out of everyones way, pixies!

Usagi: *out of curiousity, tries to crush the eyes of both the Flandre's, as there was little use for her at this point*

Alice: *has the dolls hammer the spot all at once, before retreating back to the rest of the group*

*The pixies all rise, and began the danmaku spray that fae were so well known for, save for the fact they all aimed at that one spot*
2 days ago(Last one. Been watching the Diamonds in the Rough Walfas Movie... it's a bit brutal. *Shivers*)

Flandre: *falls to the ground moaning at the odd sensation, but her arm continues to stay up, snapping strings.*

Marisa: *holds up a repaired hakkero* *sparks it once, twice, and thrice*

Alice: *joins in with narrow sparks from her and her dolls*
2 days agoFlandre: Hnn...! *knees go weak, but continues as well* D-d-dammit, sis... Good tr-try, but... mm... n-not helping, it seems...

Alice: *with the firing range clear, starts rappidfiring with her 8 Marisa dolls*

Mima: *a black spark just about eats the light from around it as it fires, hammering against the spot*

Usagi: *seeing her effort pay off, she starts going for any eyes she can find within the mansion, hoping she hits someone important to the barrier*

Patchouli: *Silently flares the spot*

Cirno: *gathers cold in her hand, and sparks the barrier*

Marisa: *holds up her frigid hakkero, and fires a frosty spark*

Dai: *fires a master spark*
2 days agoMedicine: *waits for a chance to gas*

???: Ruukoto? Cleared to use quarternary armaments.

Ruukoto: Affirmative. *back begins to have two rails grw out of it, with two hoops that start to connect to each other on each one*
Yesterday 4:33AM(Yeah, that video... how can someone see that, and then not forcefully killing your soul? Couldn't sleep, with all the images I had in my head. From evil ceiling Yukari's to the thought of Tokiko killing and eating me (leading me out to be killed eaten other youkai to be precise....) And I got five hours of driving to keep this mental image towards. Yay.)
Yesterday 4:37AMYuuka: *makes it a duel spark*

Marisa: *flies above and between the two, and makes it a triangular spark*

Mima: *flies to the center, and fires off a twilight spark, which feeds off of the other three*
Yesterday 9:52AM(Aww, poor thing... *hugs*)
Yesterday 10:02AM(Touhou Soccer much? XD I know, it works :P And yeah, I'm back. Finally got it out of my head on the way up. *hugs in thanks*)

*shield begins to brighten at the point, as hairline cracks begin to spread*

Remilia: Patchouli, use one of the stones.

Patchy: Miss Scarlet, are you sure? The souls-

Remilia: *eye twitches* Now, Patchouli!

Patchy: *chucks a stone into the stream with a frown on her face*

-

Ruukoto: *hoops connect into a single tube with a conical tip, which stays still for a moment before flames spurt out of the bottom, launching it* Nuclear launch, initiated.
Yesterday 1:28PM(Never played it! XD)

Cirno: C'mere, Usa... *grabs her, pulling her close* Let me borrow a bit of you again. *grins and holds Usagi's hand forward*

Usagi: O-okay... *blushes, and lets the other fairy use her like a clip of ammo, charging ice beyond either of their abilities into her hand*

Cirno: *kisses Usagi's cheek*

Usagi: *heart skips a beat, and her hand flares up, before fireing an enormous Minus-K Spark at the spot*
Yesterday 1:46PM(Me neither. That's where the Twilight Sparks comes from though. It just sounded familiar)

*reinforced against the earlier attacks, the shield once more begins to crack at the impact from the single spark*

Flandre: *spots the incoming missile* Why isn't the bitch making us...
Yesterday 1:54PM(Well, it's what I used to mold my Mima! XD While Miko is yang, Mima is Yin, or darkness. Humans are yang, while youkai are yin. They each were 100% of one, and so one became youkai-like in her actions and favoratism, while the other became so good she became evil*
Yesterday 1:58PMFlan: *still weak in the knees* W-well... Maybe she intends to use us as the next shields, and is letting us come to the realization...?
Yesterday 2:01PM(Just had to point it out. And I think I see. That would explain why your humans are mostly evil then, which really does kinda suck. If that's the case, how many humans would have been good if not for the fact that they were preordained to be evil?)
Yesterday 2:02PMRemilia: *smirks at what they are saying, as the missile grows closer*

Ruukoto: It may be unnecessary to add, but defensive positions might be recommended before the device explodes.
Yesterday 2:03PM(Ohh, they are taught to be evil by their parents, who were taught by their parents, and so on, untill the source is hit. Miko is the one that said that youkai are worthless, and that as such you can do anything you wish to them.)

Cirno: *once more powers up Usagi's hand, and makes a wall of thick arctic-like ice*
Yesterday 2:07PM(That's an extraordinary amount of groupthink, which does make sense, considering it is japan. Still, the whole idea doesn't mesh well with me, or my own world. Where doing such a thing would be nearly suicidal, all the time)

Ruukoto: 'This unit' hopes that such a blockade is sufficient against nuclear fire.

Kikuri: Although, I suppose I should do my duty. now. *begins to grow slightly, a magical copy of her projecting up above the entire small army*
Yesterday 2:12PMFlandre: ...Big...
Yesterday 2:14PMFlandre: Yes. And now it's going to hit. *can finally move, and shields the other Flandre's eyes from the explosion*

*missile detonates right on the target, causing the shield to turn completely white and opaque. The entire lake shines as much of it is evaporated instantly, before a crate expands downwards, breaking through the crust and into one of the tunnels in the underground. The shockwave blasts in all directions, knocking over many of the trees nearby*
Yesterday 2:31PM*all the pixies and the scant few ice fairies begin to intensify their aura of cold, staving off the heat as best as they can*
Yesterday 2:37PM(You know, if just 'one' could stave off that level of heat, that would be an enormous amount of energy that they can disperse at a single time. Such a thermodynamic reaction is extremely dangerous)

*eventually, the light fades, revealing the dome surrounding the SDM, glowing brightly*
Yesterday 2:59PM*the fae are dripping all over the place, but seem fine, otherwise*

*marisa melted, as she wasn't with the group, and didn't know how to lower her tempurature*

Alice: *sighs and picks up the hat on the ground, putting it on her head for safe keeping*
Yesterday 3:09PM(*snickers*)

Mima: Alright, before it recharges... fire again! *snaps her own fingers, sending a narrow spark at the center of the crack*
Yesterday 3:17PMCirno: *making use of Usa, charges a second spark*

-

Flan: Now my skin's all crispy... I hate standing outside in the sun...
Yesterday 3:19PMFlandre: At least your eyes are fine. Don't want them being burnt out. *looks back up Remilia* What is she planning...

Remilia: *looks at Sakuya* I bore of this. Would you please dispose of those imbeciles on the other side?

Sakuya: With pleasure. *flashes away, appearing in the midst of everyone, tossing knives in ever direction*
Yesterday 3:26PMSakuya: *throws knives at the throwing knives, deflecting them into the dirt*

Cirno: *Releases the laser of ice once more*
Yesterday 3:42PMSakuya: *flickers away* *looks down at them* All this against me? Perhaps it might be a fair fight... *closes her eyes, and steps out of herself*

Sakuya2: Not that I care for fair fights in the slightest. *both immediately attack*

Alice: Alright, she is going down... *sends in all of her dolls to strike at the two*
Yesterday 3:52PMAlice: *brings her army to bear*
Yesterday 3:55PMSakuya: *has another of her step out, with both of the copies going to attack the doll armies* *again tosses a spread of knives at everyone before disappearing*

(Sorry for slow reply. at 6k, and next part will be lead-in to the merlin intro. And then posted. Think kinda like Nitori's chapter)
Yesterday 4:31PMSakuya: *once more deflects all of the knives into the ground*

Meiling: Kaaaaaaaa... meeeeeeeee... haaaaaaaa.... meeeeee... ...HA! *fires a rainbow laser of her own at the shield*
Yesterday 4:34PM(Must say good work though. Actually focusing on the shield, and ignoring Sakuya)

Sakuya: *appears right behind her copy, and aims to stab her in the kidney*
Yesterday 4:39PMSakuya: *reappears right behind her copy, and attempts to slit her achilies*
Yesterday 4:41PMSakuya: *takes the hit, but not before twisting and digging a knife into Sakuya's for good measure*
Yesterday 4:56PMSakuya: Ghh... *tries to slit Sakuya's throat for that*
Yesterday 4:59PMSakuya: *moves so that it hits the shoulder instead, before using her other hand to dig a knife in the other's stomach*
Yesterday 5:02PM*moves just in time to avoid getting hit in any organs, and tries to stab the arm that just stabbed her*
Yesterday 5:06PMSakuya: *blinks away, before appearing farther from her* *raises a hand to her shoulder, before sticking her finger in the wound and licking the blood* Delicious... I wonder how yours will taste.
Yesterday 5:09PMSakuya: If you like, I could stick that blood-drenched knife down your throat, and you could find out. *smirks*
Yesterday 5:13PMSakuya: *simply licks the blade clean first* Not too bad... But now I need more blood. Now, where shall I stab you next...
Yesterday 5:15PMSakuya: Why don't we discuss that over tea? *chuckles at the absurd offer*
Yesterday 5:21PMSakuya: A tea break sounds lovely, actually. *a copy breaks out of her, before blinking and bringing her some tea* Do try. It is my finest.
Yesterday 5:22PMSakuya: *raises a brow, and hides her knife once more* Tea in the middle of a battle field? Sounds delightful. *smiles*

(By the way, as an ex-vampire hunter, her blood is quite poisonous, and she's also immune to a great many toxins, as it's common practice in my world for lesser vampires to poison their weapons.)
Yesterday 5:36PM(Gotta consider how much time she's spent outside the field. It's already run its course, unless it's 'very' slow acting. And who said I was gonna poison her? Sometimes, tea is tea)

Sakuya: *sheathes her own knife, before sipping from both cups and offering her one*
Yesterday 5:39PM(Just figured I'd point this out! XD)

Sakuya: *sips the tea* Quite a lovely aroma, and a fine taste, if I do say so myself. *smiles* It's good to see another quality maid.
Yesterday 5:49PMSakuya: Naturally. One must serve their mistress with the upmost of skill, after all. *tea clicks*

(Although, I do have a surprise otherwise...)
Yesterday 5:53PMSakuya: Indeed. Not enough maids think that way, sadly.
Yesterday 6:04PMSakuya: Believe that they can get the position based on how they fill out a uniform? Pathetic. *tea clicks again*
Yesterday 6:05PMSakuya: I mean, atleast the fairies are willing to learn... Quite unlike most big-breasted harlots that call themselfs maids... *shakes head in disgust, chasing the thought from her head*
Yesterday 6:10PMSakuya: *snorts softly* Indeed. Although, at least the mistress and I share our interests. It's why we work so well together.
Yesterday 6:11PMThe same could be said of my own, and myself. Sure, there are a few... key differences, but those few are quite negligable in importance.
Yesterday 6:18PMSakuya: Do you enjoy causing pain? *tea clicks again*
Yesterday 6:19PMIf the target is of my particular... liking... I suppose I have enjoyed it on a number of occasions. Those occasions are rare, however. Few targets get me worked up enough to start particularly enjoy causing them wounds, and removing little bits of them.
Yesterday 6:25PMHrm. That is the best part of the job, far as I am concerned. How do you think I met the mistress? *click*
Yesterday 6:29PM(7k)
Yesterday 6:29PMI don't know, honestly. How did you meet yours?
Yesterday 6:31PMOh, we just happened to be going after the same target. When I saw someone capable of such beautiful carnage...
Yesterday 6:43PMInteresting... *takes yet another sip*
Yesterday 6:55PM*gives a final click*
Yesterday 6:59PM(I'm not sure how I'm to respond to that! XD)
Yesterday 7:01PM(what would you do if your tea has been clicking? XD)
Yesterday 7:10PM(...I thought she was clickling the cup with the little plate...)
Yesterday 7:11PM(nope. The tea has been 'clicking'.)
Yesterday 7:12PM(Well, had I known that, I would have brought that up! XD; )
Yesterday 7:13PM(oh well. Just think that your Sakuya was badass enough and say, well, what were you gonna try and do with such a trick? Or something like that. Whatever works. :P)
Yesterday 7:21PM(I suppose. Though, I, myself, have no idea what it is... a bomb, maybe...?)

Sakuya: *smirks* Such games we play. Did you think that would work?
Yesterday 7:25PMSakuya: *just returns the smirk* Poison is so cliche, after all. Exploding teabags on the other *blows up in her hand* hand, are another story entirely.
Yesterday 7:31PMSakuya: Indeed they are. *chuckles*
Yesterday 7:38PMSakuya: *shrugs* So, shall we get back to work? And how is your stomach, by the way?
Yesterday 7:43PMSakuya: Ohh, it's quite alright. Thank you for asking. *smiles, pulling out a knife and twirls it between her fingers*
Yesterday 7:49PMSakuya: Good. I'd hate it if you had to fight at less than your best.
Yesterday 7:58PMIndeed? My, if that is the case, why even bother with the explosives?
Yesterday 8:07PM(Also, I look forward to it! *grins*)
Yesterday 8:11PMSakuya: It's the principle of the thing. If you're worth fighting, you wouldn't be taken out by such a trick.
Yesterday 8:28PM*chuckles* Still sounds like a clever way to word a failed attempt at my life. Though, I suppose I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
Yesterday 8:31PMSakuya: If I wanted to insult you, I would have brought you poor tea.
Yesterday 8:34PMAhh, true, true. You may have the first strike, if you like. *takes a fighting stance, her knife at the ready*
Yesterday 8:36PMSakuya: First strike? Indeed... *flashes over and stabs Remilia in the spine, between the wings*
Yesterday 8:44PMRemilia: *at the feeling of metal penetrating her tough skin, and being quite deflected off of her spine, she spun around, claws ripping through the air*

Sakuya: I meant against me... *blinks in to the other side of Sakuya, doing her best to slash the double's throat*
Yesterday 8:54PMSakuya: Did you ever specify? *blinks out of the way, before popping back in behind Patchy*
Yesterday 8:56PMPatchouli: *smacks her over the head with her book with surprising force* Be gone, pest...

Sakuya: *pops it to eviscerate the other Sakuya*
Yesterday 8:59PMSakuya: *rolls with the blow, before splitting off with yet another copy, before popping away*

Sakuya4: *tosses indiscriminately at Patchouli*
Yesterday 9:01PMPatche: *casts empowered magic missiles at Sakuya 4, as well as quick casting stone-skin*

Sakuya: *blinks after normal Sakuya, leaving Patche to her battle*

(Ahh, the joy of making Patche know D&D magic XD)
Yesterday 9:10PMSakuya1: *pops behind Sakuya, raising her knife*

Sakuya2: *blinks over Sakuya*

Sakuya: *spins in front of Usagi, tosing a few dozen knives at Cirno*
Yesterday 9:21PMCirno: *encases herself and Usagi in ice far too thick to be hit by said daggers*

Usagi: E-ehh...?

Cirno: ...Usa, go for the eye of the Sakuya that just tried to hurt me

Usagi: O-okay... *clutches at it as hard as she can, hoping it will work*

-

Sakuya: *blocks the knife and slashes Sakuya1's throat, before rolling out of the way out of caution, due to 2*
Yesterday 9:29PMSakuya: *eyes widen, and actually falls to the floor, biting her lip as hard as possible as she blushes*

AllotherSakuya: *seem to pause in their actions, turning to watch cautiously*
Yesterday 9:35PMCirno: Huh... *blushes*

Usagi: *blinks* I honestly wasn't expecting that to work... *is used to this, so doesn't particularly blush*

Cirno: *walks out of the solid chunk of ice, with Usagi in tow* Maybe you should try and hit the other ones?

Usagi: But... I'm not sure which is which...

Sakuya: *uses this chance to take out Sakuya 2 with a knife tossed at her throat and heart, for good measure*
Yesterday 9:45PMSakuya2: *immediately reacts, knocking them out of the air. Sakuya 3 and 4 grab sakuya and sakuya 1, and all immediately blink away*
Yesterday 9:50PMSakuya: *looks about* I think they've retreated... *smiles* Thank you, Usagi. They were starting to annoy me... *blinks over to Remilia* Are you okay, milady?

Remilia: *chuckles* I've already regenerated. *holding her parasol once more, her skin slightly crispy*
Yesterday 10:00PMAlice: *finally catches her breath, having been fighting one of the Sakuyas the whole time* Good one. Why'd she be weak to that, I wonder... *looks across* Can you see how weak the shield is?
Yesterday 10:18PMRemilia: Its fate is just about coming to an end. It should be down any moment now...
Yesterday 10:25PMAlice: Good. I hope she doesn't have any other surprises up her sleeve.

-

Remilia: *has picked up Flandre by one of her wing stumps, and is holding her in the air*
Yesterday 10:30PMFlandre: *the stump up-roots surprisingly easily, without any magic to keep it alive* *falls to the ground again, wimpering* Oww...!
Yesterday 10:33PMRemilia: *smirks and pulls the other one out painfully, before grabbing her by the nape of the neck, and holding her up*
Yesterday 10:48PMFlandre: *trembles a bit from the feeling of all those roots sliding out of her*
Yesterday 10:50PMRemilia: Now, Flandre dear... Be a darling and come here.

Flandre: *tries not to, but is dragged up anyways by her feet*

Remilia: Now, hold up your hand and get ready to make her go kyuu once the barrier goes down~
Yesterday 10:54PMAya: AyayayaYAYAya! That's no good! *zips to Remilia* They're planning to make your sister go kyuu!

Remilia: What?! *eyes fill with rage*

Usagi: No...! *eyes fill with fear*
Yesterday 11:00PM(There is an 'easy' way to finish this. I could do it, but it'd be better if you could figure it out.)

Remilia: Sakuya, have you recovered?

Sakuya: I believe so. It's taken several hours out of time, but yes.

Remilia: Good. Because I wish to have roast crow for dinner tonight.
Yesterday 11:03PM(Aya's speed, Usagi's power being curiously uneffected by fate thus far, Sakuya's power, or Yukari fooling around again? That's all I've come up with...
Yesterday 11:08PM(You're forgetting an evil spirit or two.... Remember, you can always give suggestions, too.)
Yesterday 11:11PM(Well, I thought you meant my side! XD Plus, none of mine would know that, as my Mima has no such power.)
Yesterday 11:14PM(Well, neither does anyone but Mima. You could just try and launch an all out attack, as Flandre could probably recover before she kyuus. Or, you do your side. Although, my method would have been poetic. :P)
Yesterday 11:17PM(Well, I've no idea how to get that flag to raise! XD)
Yesterday 11:19PM(True, ok, I'll spell it out. What you need to do is have Mima hit 'Remilia' and 'both' Flandres with an attack. Anything will do. But a twilight spark will be easiest, being the biggest. Play to this by making her dodge a lot of small things, and then you can shout out, "well, just try to dodge this! Make it sound like she's too weak to stand up to it. So she'll take it head on... Which won't injure her, but will 'remove all bindings of fate, and leave them to the dream of eternity)
Yesterday 11:26PM(But... Mima's your char. Plus, I only have the slightest clue of how she acts! XD;; )
Yesterday 11:31PM(Just shout at her to shoot her with something! Take action! ...Or am I trying to create too much of a narrative here?)
Yesterday 11:33PM(Yes, but I can't think of a reason as to why specifically they'd shout that at Mima! XD She seems to eager-to-kill type...
Yesterday 11:36PM(Well... Yeah, true. :P Play it out as you want. Flan won't die, don't you worry.)
Yesterday 11:41PM(I find it funny that I'm currently treating your char as she should be that you are XD)

*as soon as the barrier shattered, Aya tossed her tokin to the side, and took off in an atempt to keep the girl from death, while Tenma simply watched, figuring that if Aya should fail, so would she*

*everybody else starts hammering their location with danmaku and lasers, though those would be there far after Aya made it there*
Yesterday 11:48PM(Eh? Didn't quite make sense at the end)

Remilia: Sakuya?

Sakuya: *flashes forward at the crow tengu*

Remilia: good. As for this... *begins to dodge all of the lasers, twisting through the danmaku*

Flandre: *is rooted in spot as she is pelted with the magic*
Yesterday 12:02AMAya: *growls, and starts focusing on Sakuya, moving at speeds that might as well be the manipulation of time*

(Aya is faster than danmaku by a rather high multiple, when she takes off the tokin that slows her a bit)
Yesterday 12:06AM(So, how many orders of magnitude? )

Sakuya: *clicks on the Luna Dial* No you don't now... I'll catch up to you.
Yesterday 12:14AMAya: *even with time stoped, she's still moving at a fairly fast speed* Ayayayaya, you're going to have to do better than that~~ *swings her fan thrice in the blink of an eye*

(Honestly? I have no idea on the exact speed of Aya and Tenma... Also, how do magnitudes work, again? I forget...)
Yesterday 12:19AM(They work on a logarithmic scale. So, say that an earthquake is 1 on the Richter. If it were 1 magnitude higher, it would be 2 on the Richter, but it would be ten times as powerful. 2 magnitudes higher is a hundred times, and etc)

Sakuya: *slices through the air with her knives, before tossing large number at where she was, and where she would be*
Yesterday 12:50AM(Well, let's just say more than 2 magnitudes higher... probably 3-5)

Aya: *gusts the knives out of the way, and starts slashing at her with the fan in a blinding flury of swings*
Yesterday 12:54AMSakuya: *presses a button on the dial, rewinding time to a few seconds ago, and she stabs at the back of Aya as she attempts to slash other Sakuya*
Yesterday 1:00AMAya: *tries to kick Sakuya's knife up through the bottom her her jaw*
Yesterday 1:03AMSakuya: *deflects, clicks again, and another copy returns to the past*
Yesterday 1:05AMAya: *continues to dodge everything thrown at her, ocasionally kicking here and there, even*

Sakuya: *starts to hail down sharp death upon the growing team of Sakuya*
Yesterday 1:11AMSakuya: *there are eventually so many copies that it's a wall of steel thrown, and unavoidable*
Yesterday 1:16AMTenma: *joins in the fray, knocking a hole in the wall with her enormous sword*

*Aya and Sakuya make their way through the hole*
Yesterday 1:31AMSakuya: **clicks the Luna Dial on instinct, but curses when it doesn't do anything*
Yesterday 1:35AM(HAH, because time is already stopped? XD)

*all three of them rush at the main Sakuya*
Yesterday 1:38AM(Yup. Instincts. Kill ya, eh?)

Sakuysa: *prepare for an onslaught, her copies joining in*
Yesterday 9:29AMTenma: *makes suprisingly fast swings of her sword, atempting to cleave them apart 10 at a time*

Aya: *makes almost insanely fast slashes with the edge of her fan*

Sakuya: *throws knives at random to keep the numbers on the defensive*
Yesterday 9:34AM(advice: attack her weak point)


Sakuya: somehow manages to keep up, her clones batting away the knives)
Yesterday 10:18AM(But none of them can kyuu, and Usagi can't move very quickly...? Only these three can move when time is stoped. Plus, Tenma isn't a pervert, Aya is only photogenically a pervert, and Sakuya's not the type! XD)

*the attacks continue to fly, not particularly landing, but also doing a good job at keeping Sakuya on the defensive*
Yesterday 10:24AM(nope, the other weak point. Remember how depednants she is on the clock?)

*begins to huff, starting to get the slightest bit tired*
Yesterday 10:33AM(Hrm... That's gonna be a toughie, as my sakuya uses her power without having to activate that! XD I'll have the observant one do it.)

Tenma: *with one last swipe of her sword, she then goes to grab the dial from Sakuya*

Aya: *noticeing Tenma's actions, she figured it best to start doing so as well*

Sakuya: *not noticing, she continues to pelt Sakuya and Sakuya accessories with knives and kunai*
Yesterday 10:49AM*eyes widen, and begsn to dodges as best as she can, trying to prevent the loss of the dial*
Yesterday 11:06AMSakuya: *starts throwing knives in ways that cut off escape to an extent, not quite sure as to why, while the other two continue going after the dial*
Yesterday 11:08AM*continues to block their actions, her hands a blur as she throws and stabs with knives*
Yesterday 11:11AMTenma: *tosses large air distractingly into the air, and pulls out a dagger, her attacks now moving far beyond the speed of making shockwaves that are frozen in time*
Yesterday 11:22AM*continues to block their actions, her hands a blur as she throws and stabs with knives*
Yesterday 12:10PMAya: *switches between gusts and slashs at random, attacking from behind Sakuya*
Yesterday 12:12PM*starts to use one hand on each, defending against the two as best she could*

(And that last post was ready for the last forty minutes. It just never went through. XD)
Yesterday 12:13PMSakuya: *joins in the fray, attacking from behind, and trying to snatch the dial, now that she finally understands*
Yesterday 12:16PM*begins to dance against the three, but one grab attempt leaves the chain of the dial swinging outside of the pocket, with the holes just large enough for a knife*
Yesterday 12:19PMSakuya: *throws a knife through the hole of the link with ease*
Yesterday 12:37PMNo! *dials is pulled away from her, and all the copies disappear as the time bubble collapses*
Yesterday 12:37PM*with time back to normal, all of the thousands of shockwaves go off at once, knocking the two humans out quite nicely*

Aya: *catches Sakuya*

Tenma: *catches the other Sakuya*
Yesterday 12:40PMRemilia: *narrows her eyes* Taken my maid, have they. More persistent than I thought. Oh well. Time to cut the cord... *has been dodging the whole time*
Yesterday 12:47PM*all of the tengu notice this, but Aya being the fastest loudmouth would be the one to shout the warning*

Aya: We need to take her out now! She's getting ready for the execution! *starts frantically waving her fan at the vampire*
Yesterday 12:55PMRemilia: *stands up to the wind, folding her wings back to streamline* Show me her eye, Flandre.

Flandre: *stares up with fear in her eyes, as the ball forms in her hand*
Yesterday 1:00PMRemilia: *starts to intensify her barrage of spears*

Usagi: *hand starts to try and grip at Remilia's eye, with strength she hasn't had for the last few days*
Yesterday 1:07PMRemilia: *shivers, and begins to cackle* Oh, yes! This will be 'most' enjoyable! Draw it out, little 'sister'. Make her experience true pain as she's ripped to shreds!
Yesterday 1:08PMUsagi: *with tears in her eyes, starts to also go for her big sisters, eye gently crushing it, intent to dull the pain with pleasure*

Flandre: *shivers and pants slightly, while wimpering in pain*
Yesterday 1:15PMFlandre: *eye starts to pull apart, as her essence falls to pieces* Don't make me do this Remilia. Don't make me. Please...
Yesterday 1:16PMUsagi: *closes her eyes, as Flandre's skin starts to split and crack open, her warm scarlet liquid dripping from these wounds* *squeezes the girls eye tighter, to help her deal with the pain, should nobody succeed*

Flandre: *Ow...! Oww... Nnn... *shivers in a great deal of both pain and pleasure*
Yesterday 1:29PMRemilia: No, I'm afraid I can't. These people have nothing that can stop me. Truly, nothing. And I will show them all that they're capable of doing. *shouts out at them* Come on! Hit me with anything. I will show you my invincibility!
Yesterday 1:30PM*my side complies, hitting her with everything*

Nitori: *throws a kitchen sink at her*

*And a kitchen sink*
Yesterday 1:43PM(XD)

Nitori: Not bad, copy! makes up for your greater... impressiveness. *throws a bigger kitchen sink*

*my side also fires everything htey have. Followed by Mima hitting everything with a twilight spark*

timer: ten seconds
Yesterday 1:50PMRemilia: *her eyes glowing an angry shade of red, she tosses an especially large, brilliantly burning spear at Remilia, aimed at her heart*
Yesterday 1:53PMRemilia: *watches it and opens up her arms, letting it hit her. And nearly chokes as she realizes that it 'injured' her*

Flandre: *eyes widen, as Flandre's eye disappears* Free.... Now to destroy you! *immediately begins tearing at the threads of fate Remilia is trying to reconnect with the world.* Flandre! Help me! We can end this!
Yesterday 1:58PMFlandre: *starts to weakly crush eye after eye, tearing fate appart with each pop*
Yesterday 2:02PMRemilia: No you don't... No you don't! I will not be killed by someone like-

Flandre: *cuts her off by grabbing her neck* You already have. Finish her off. She can't tie herself down anymore
Yesterday 2:07PMFlandre: *looks at Remilia with cold eyes* *slowly, yet surely, crushes her eye* You've been undone. And now so too will your body be. *clenches her fist*
Yesterday 2:10PMRemilia: No! Damn you! Damn you bot- *disintegrates*

Flandre: *stares at where she stared for a few moments, before beginning to openly weep* It's over. It's finally 'finally' over...
Yesterday 2:12PMFlan: *pulls flan in for a triuphant hug* We did it! You did it! Everyone did it! *grins happily and lets the girl go* So, what will you do now...?
Yesterday 2:15PMFlandre: *sniffles* I think I'm going to have a good long cry... And then some more... And then I'll go and bury the human. He deserved better.
Yesterday 2:21PMFlandre: Well, if you need a shoulder, I'm here for you, flan!
Yesterday 2:23PMFlandre: *nods into the hug* Yeah

-

Ruukoto: Target has been eliminated, and all others have been subdued. Master, should we go ahead and retrieve your body?
Yesterday 2:24PMFlan: *holds her close, petting her hair gently*

Remilia: Flan, are you alright?! *flaps over to her sister, and shields them all from the harsh sun with her parasol*

Usa: Flan...! *runs to with tears in her eyes* I was so worried...!
Yesterday 2:32PMFlandre: She should be fine... Didn't kyuu... that... much.

-

???: Alright... But let's not break up their family reunion too much.

Koishi: Don't worry. They won't even notice...
Yesterday 2:48PMRemilia: *smiles with a relieved sigh* I'm glad...

Usagi: *hugs both Flandre's*
Yesterday 2:53PMFlandre: *sniffs* But didn't save the human... Even in the end.
Yesterday 2:54PMFlandre: Shhh... It's not your fault... You couldn't have stopped it, even if you wanted to... *tightens to hug*
Yesterday 3:01PMFlandre: *nods against her, closing her eyes*

???: *floats down*

Ruukoto: *slips into mansion to retrieve said body*
Yesterday 3:02PM*flan continues stroking her hair*
Yesterday 3:07PM???: Hello again, Flandre.

Flandre: *sniffs and freezes* Wait, was that... *sees the spirit* Human! What are you... You're alive? *runs towards him*

???: *she runs through him on accident* Not quite.... *sighs*
Yesterday 3:13PMFlan: ...Huh... Still an upgrade from being a puddle! *grins*
Yesterday 3:16PMFlandre: But what are you doing here? Weren't you worried? *blinks* Or, you knew they had your body...

???: *looks down* Yeah, pretty much. One of my friends I met after you killed me went off to find it.

Flandre: ...How did you survive?
Yesterday 3:20PMUsagi: Maybe he's really lucky...?

Flan: Takes more than luck to come back after a kyuu, little sis...
Yesterday 3:24PM???: Yeah... Komachi decided I had more to live. So she brought me back until I died again.

Flandre: *gasps* Is that why you're...
Yesterday 3:26PMRemilia: Well, you certainly must have lived a great deal, if that's the case...
Yesterday 3:37PM???: Who knows. She said that I had more in my life line, or something like that. *shrugS* And no, it isn't. I didn't end up like this until I died a third time... and ended up in the hell of blazing fires.
Yesterday 3:41PMRemilia: My, you must suffer from a great deal of misfortune... (OHHHH, accidental burn! XP)
Yesterday 3:47PM???: Since I was murdered by the curse goddess, you might be correct.
Yesterday 3:57PMUsagi: Hina? Wow, the one from this world must be like the oposite of the nice, yet constantly unfotunate misfortune goddess that I know...
Yesterday 4:01PM???: She is the Mishaguji here. So, she enjoys causing misfortune... You know of Napoleon, for example?
Yesterday 4:06PMRemilia: Quite hard not to. ...Why?

Usagi: *Who?* *Has amnesia, and thus doesn't know*
Yesterday 4:10PM???: She is the reason for his apparent victories... And she is the reason he failed so hard under the russian winter. Saved up all his misfortune for that one campaign.

Flandre: Wait, so she killed you too... How did you die the other time? *looks up with shining eyes*

???: eheh... *Rubs back of head* Koishi...?

Koishi: *appears* Yeees?
Yesterday 4:12PMUsagi: *jumps a little*
Yesterday 4:18PM???: That's how.

Flandre: *stares at her for a second, before growling* You killed the human?
Yesterday 4:22PM*those on my side that are still around watch the satori with the closed eye*
Yesterday 4:32PMKoishi: ...*blinks and looks down* I did.

Flandre: *snarls and leaps forward*
Yesterday 4:34PMFlan: *tries to restrain her*

Remilia: *helps flan to restrain her*
Yesterday 4:38PMKoishi: *starts speaking* I thought there was something wrong with him! I couldn't find his heart, so why wasn't it on the outside? Everyone knows that hearts are supposed to be on the outside! *pauses* I forgot he was a human. So when I took it out for him, he didn't heal...
Yesterday 4:46PMUsagi: *cringes at the thought*
Yesterday 4:48PM???: But you did end up taking me to get healed. Flandre...

Flandre: *droops slightly, looking at him* Yes?

???: Leave her be, please. She didn't do it for as good a reason as for when you killed me, but trust me, she's not a bad person.
Yesterday 4:54PM*Flan and Remi let her go*
Yesterday 4:58PMFlandre: *drops to the ground, still glaring at Koishi*

???: *reaches down and gives her a spirited hug. (rimshot)
Yesterday 5:00PM*they continue watching, as they've nothing to add*
Yesterday 5:06PMRuukoto: *returns and drops the body on the ground* Here you are, Master.
Yesterday 5:07PMUsagi: Eep! *hides behind Flan*
Yesterday 5:17PM???: *leans down* I appear to be quite dead... *pokes his side* And rotting just slightly.
Yesterday 5:19PMUsagi: *cringes and shudders*
Yesterday 5:33PM???: Well... I suppose I should try... *jumps back into the body, which twitches*

Flandre: *staring with baited breath*
Yesterday 5:34PM*everyone watches, cringing a slight amount*
Yesterday 5:40PM???: *kicks back out of the body* *shakes head sadly* It's too old... I can't restart it.
Yesterday 5:42PMFlan: So... what will you do now, mister puddle?
Yesterday 5:44PM???: I suppose I'll just stay dead... *stares down at the body sadly* Not like there's someone who could begin it anew.
Yesterday 5:47PMSakuya: *feels her throbbing head, as she finally starts to regain conciousness* Ugh...

Aya: Ayaya~ Well, good morning!

Sakuya: What... happened...?

Aya: About 1000 shockwaves went off at once, that's what.
Yesterday 5:53PMSakuya: *also awakens* What has happened... Damned youkai. *glances about* Wait, why am I alive?
Yesterday 5:55PMTenma: Because we have won. Your mistress is no more. *restraining her still*
Yesterday 6:01PMSakuya: *eyes widen* Remilia? You've killed her? You've killed my mistress? *attempts to go for the throat*
Yesterday 6:05PMTenma: *restrains her hard enough for her bones to creak, ignoring her* Other Flandre, what would you like done with this dog?
Yesterday 6:13PMFlandre: *stares harshly at her* I think I have the perfect thing to do with her. Can we kill the soul, but preserve the body?
Yesterday 6:15PMFlandre: Hrm... How preserved? I could probably find the eye of her soul, if I look hard enough, though other eyes would be far easier...
Yesterday 6:20PMFlandre: Because... I have a human that needs a body. So, completely preserved.

Sakuya: Wait, are you going to put some miserable human in 'my' body?

Flandre: You're a miserable human already. It wouldn't be a step down.
Yesterday 6:21PMFlan: *starts painfully probing about for that single eye among the billions*
Yesterday 6:24PMSakuya: *starts squirming, feeling her very essence being probed*
Yesterday 6:28PMFlandre: *after five minutes of painful, yet harmless torture, Flandre found the eye in question. Her very soul now in her hand, she offered it to Flan* I'm sure you would like to be the one, correct?
Yesterday 6:35PMFlandre: *grins widely* Of course. *begins to crush it extremely slowly*

Sakuya: *eyes shoot open as her back arcs* Oh, oh! AAAH! AAAAAH! You're... you're...

Flandre: Killing you, yes. *smashes it the rest of the way*

Sakuya: *falls onto the ground as a black cloud flies out of all of her orifices*
Yesterday 6:39PMAnd now you have a body, mister puddle! *grins happily at the spirit*
Yesterday 6:42PM???: A female body, perhaps. But it's alive... *flies into it, and the body stirs for a moment*

Sakuya: *eyes flicker open, before looking at everyone* Flandre? Koishi? Kicuri? .... Ruukoto?

Flandre: *looks deeply into her eyes, before hugging him* Human...

Koishi: Perhaps he can answer the question on everyone's minds, now.
Yesterday 6:44PMUsagi: That being?
Yesterday 6:47PMKoishi: Whether she used pads or not!

Sakuya: *blushes at the thought* Oh, right. I have... those now...
Yesterday 6:48PMSakuya: * stares at Sakuya a moment* ...I vote yes.
Yesterday 7:01PMFlandre: *backs away for a second*

Sakuya: *peeks down, blushing the entire time* Well...
Yesterday 7:03PMSakuya: Well?
Yesterday 7:09PMSakuya. I don't think so.. *taps chest* But this is metal, so that might help a bit.
Yesterday 7:12PMSakuya: *nods sagely* I knew something looked strange about them. *has no pads, and a small chest*
Yesterday 7:14PM(I remember)

Sakuya: Still... *looks down* This is 'slightly' larger than I'm used to...

Koishi: True. It's not like you had man boobs or anything. Let me see!

Sakuya: Hey, now! *gets groped*

Koishi: Oh, just be glad that I'm not a bridge princess. I might have to nail you right now!
Yesterday 7:16PM(*snorts at the pun*)

Remilia: *drools at the sight of Sakuya being groped*
Yesterday 7:21PM(It 'is' Koishi!)

Sakuya: *shakes her head and stands up* I don't suppose I can borrow some clothes? I'd like to get out of this dress.

Ruukoto: ...'this unit' may not like it, but she can find one if necessary.

Sakuya: *tilts her head* Why wouldn't you like it, Ruukoto?

Ruukoto: ...Master matches me...
Yesterday 7:23PMRemilia: If you would like, I can offer a few outfits of outsider clothes that I have... an abundance of. *smiles*
Yesterday 7:29PMSakuya: That would be... lovely. *looks at Ruukoto* I suppose I can keep the headpiece, for solidarity's sake.

Koishi: I get to help pick out!
Yesterday 7:33PMSakuya: Ohh, and if you want it, here's her luna dial. I've no idea if you would be able to make use of it, but... *offers it*
Yesterday 7:39PMSakuya: *takes it, and looks at it. After a few seconds, hands it to Flandre* I don't need powers. And... I don't want to be tempted by it. So I'm leaving it with you.

Flandre: *takes it carefully* Human... are you sure?

Sakuya: I'm sure.

Flandre: *hugs her again* Alright. ... You're warm, now that you're human.
Yesterday 7:41PMFlan: Aww, you two look so cute, now that the puppy has mister puddle in her.
Yesterday 7:45PMFlandre: He's not a puddle or a puppy! He's the human! ...But do you have a name?

Sakuya: I'm afraid I don't. I'll just use this bodies... Unless any of you have a good idea?
Yesterday 7:46PMUsagi: How about Shiro?
Yesterday 7:49PMSakuya: Shiro?
Yesterday 7:50PMUsagi: You seem like a good person, regardless of what any judge might say. And so I judge you as white. *croockedly grins*
Yesterday 7:52PM(Death Note reference?)

Shiro: *shrugs* Sounds fine with me. So... *glances about* Any word on those clothes? This garter feels odd... *blushes again*
Yesterday 7:54PM(Nope. I simply made it sound poetic. If my char is named Bunny, I don't see why yours can't be White! XD)
Yesterday 7:57PM(Ahh, okies! Just wondering. Oh, and I'm just trying to set up a situation where your characters and Koishi can torment the guy turned girl)
Yesterday 7:59PM(AAAAAAAAAGH)

Sakuya: Well, I can't carry enough clothes for a few hundred people here... Shall we head over to the mansion? *smiles*
Today 12:09AMShiro: That's fine with me. Although, by the looks of it, we might have a crowd... *glances at Ruukoto, Koishi, Kikuri, and both Flandre's and co.*
Today 12:14AMRemilia: That is fine. You are all invited over for... lunch? I think this is what time that sort of thing happens at...

Sakuya: That is correct, milady.

Flandre: *tears up a bit* I missed you, big sis and Sakuya... *gives them each a hug that doesn't break anything*

Meiling: What, not me...? *pouts*

Flandre: China! *tackles her in a hug, which Meiling difuses the impact of by spinning*
Today 12:19AMFlandre: *looks at them wistfully*

Shiro: *chuckles* Come on, let's get going. *attempts to stand up, but stumbles* Dammit, why can't I- Oh. *looks down* Heels. Great. *sighs, and takes them off* Looks like I'm going barefoot.

Ruukoto: If necessary, I can carry you, master.

Koishi: No! I want to carry him!

Kikuri: *rolls her eyes and shoots Shiro a look*
Today 12:21AMFlandre: *notices flandre's reaction* If you like, you can give them hugs, too! *grins invitingly*

Remilia: Yes, I won't bite. I mean, I suppose you wouldn't taste very good, anyways. *thinks about that a bit*

Sakuya: *smiles at the other Flan, as if saying it's fine*

Meiling: Ally-oop *picks up your Flandre and gives her a comfy, safe-feeling hug*
Today 12:27AMFlandre: Hooray! thank you... *hugs back, squeezing hard* I just wish Meiling had made it...

Shiro: *glances at her worriedly*
Today 12:29AMMeiling: ... *frowns* She... didn't?

Sakuya: Meiling... *looks at her in a way that says "it wasn't your fault"*
Today 12:32AMFlandre: No... She would have pulled herself together, but sister doesn't tolerate failure. Sakuya said that was the punishment for imperntinance... *glances at Shiro automatically*

Shiro: *walks up to her, placing her hand on her shoulder* You know that's not me. Not anymore. I'm the human, remember? *grins softly* And if I get like that, you can kill me, too.
Today 12:35AMRemilia: I'm sorry for your loss.
Today 12:37AMFlandre: *looks at her* Thanks... But still, it is better. *sighs* At least she will reincarnate, being one of the twelve... And maybe she won't remember.
Today 12:39AMRemilia: I hope her next life is a happier one.
Today 12:43AMFlandre: *looks down* I do too.

Shiro: *glances at the others, before taking Flandre's hand* Come on. Would Meiling have wanted you to be sad now that you were free?
Today 12:48AMSakuya: Sh- He has a point. The best thing to do would be to live happy and free. Do the things you have wanted to do.

Usagi: ...In an unrelated note, sorry that I, umm... gave you my blessing earlier, Flan and big sis Flan...

Flandre: *giggles* Well, you wanted to stop us~!
Today 12:53AMFlandre: Blessing? *Shrugs* Whatever that was, as long as you were trying to stop the bitch... *glances at the other Remilia* ...No offence.
Today 12:55AMRemilia: She is as much me, as Flan is you. Form does not make one one-in-the-same. Though, if you like, you are welcome to stay with us in a more... lengthy way. We have pleanty of room, and I'm sure it would be lonely in that manor, alone. ...Although, now I'm a bit curious as to what your Patche is up to, now that I think about it. Shall we go check-up on her?
Today 1:02AMFlandre: She will send Koakuma when she wants... I think she is content to stay in her library. *looks down sadly* She can't leave it, anyways.
Today 1:06AMRemilia: Hrm... What if one were to move the library? Just a hypothetical, here.
Today 1:10AMFlandre: Then she would come with it, yes. But the library... Well, I know not how big it is. But the bitch compared it to the tower of babel at one point.
Today 1:14AMPatche: ...I shall go and keep her company. *wants to go look at the books*

Remilia: *giggles* Yes, I can't imagine why else you might go.
Today 1:21AMShiro: Indeed. Is there ever a version company who would miss the company of-

Ruukoto: *kicks him in the shin* other versions of her

Shiro: *glares at the traitor* Well, fine, you're not carrying me now.

Koishi: yay! *scoops him up* Thanks, Ruukoto!

Ruukoto: Anytime.
Today 1:24AMRemilia: *chuckles* Good luck, Patche.

Patche: *feels enthusiastic about what she might find* Thank you. *floats off into the nearly empty mansion*
Today 1:28AMFlandre: It would be nice, letting her have company... *pulls on his sleeve* Can we go now, Shiro?

-

Patchouli: *turns her head up* Company coming now. I wonder whom it may be. I suppose I shall prepare to meet them.
Today 1:33AMPatchouli: *flys about slightly zippily through the halls, looking for the library, before giving up and casting a spell that will guide her to the nearest mass of books*

-

*everyone looks to Shiro*
Today 1:43AMShiro: Yeah. Let's take you to your... *glances at Remilia* home to be, perhaps.

-

Patchouli: *sets up next to the entrance, while sipping on her tea that Koakuma had just brought her*
Today 1:47AM*arives at the door, and raps on it thrice with the spine of her book, as it's more durable than her hand by far*
Today 1:53AMPatchouli: *calls out* Come in.
Today 1:57AM*turns knob, opening the grand doors* ...Good lord, that's an impressive display...
Today 2:02AMPatchouli: *smirks slightly* I wondered when you'd come. If you would have. But yes. I am impressive, am I not? Approximately three miles tall, compressed in a pocket dimension... it is quite lovely.
Today 2:04AMOhh? *smirks* It's good to see others making use of such a thing, even if it's actually myself, in a sense. So, you would be this library given an avatar of sorts? Curious... I, myself, am a book. This book, in my hands.
Today 2:09AMPatchouli: *grins* Oh, now that is an interesting dichotomy. You are but the one, and I am the many... And yet, we are also the same, but different. But how nice it must be to simply be a book. To explore out beyond these walls.
Today 2:13AM

With enough aplication of magic, one can do many things one thought one could not. With two of us I'm sure we could, at the very least, move the library about.
Today 2:20AMThat would be nice, indeed. A change of scenery would be lovely. But tell me one thing, Miss Knowledge.
Today 2:22AMAnd that is?
Today 2:24AM*smiles sadly* How does the grass feel between your toes?
Today 2:25AM*smirks* I'll tell you, if we fail to end up with a critical success. I'd rather see the look on your face, if we succeed. *gives her shoulder a squeeze*
Today 2:32AM*raises an eyebrow* That was rhetorical. But I suppose an adequate example. But where do you propose that we start?
Today 2:34AMTests, experiments, and like. Tell me, how far, if at all, are you able to step out of that door?
Today 2:37AMNot one step. It is as a body for me. And I cannot pass outside of its bounds. *smiles thinly* It is the only thing that saved me from Remilia's twines of fate.
Today 2:38AMHrm... There goes the option of sealing it inside of a pendant... And, if you are pulled by force? What would happen?
Today 2:41AMI literally cannot. It would be similar to trying to force a needle through a wall of diamond.
Today 2:42AMHrm... Maybe we could atempt to make it so that Gensoukyo could be considered within the library? A sort of displacement of reality, if you will.
Today 2:51AMSomewhat similar to what the Brain of the Moon did when she sealed the planet with a box? It certainly is possible. But we would have to avoid interrupting the rest of the line. If you remember those times, dawn never came until they were forced to let the world out of their bottle, so to speak.
Today 2:53AMIndeed... I suppose we should get started, hmm? I'll set up a portal to my library's plane, and look through my personal collection for any clues on how one does that, unless you have any ideas?
Today 2:58AMIt would involve a good deal of quantum entanglement, as the land would necessarily be in the library, and not in it at the same time. *pauses* Or it could be done with modification to the initial starting point.
Today 3:01AMGo on.
Today 3:03AMAfter all, we are considering wrapping Gensokyo with a library, correct? Why not wrap it instead with a large amount of moving air... that happens to be a library? *smiles* Shift the playbook, instead of finding a new play.
Today 3:06AMIndeed... That could work quite well.
Today 3:07AMAny thoughts of your own?
Today 3:16AMAnother layer of barrier on top of the current could work, too. It would also work to strengthen the barrier, surely. Have the barrier happen to be the library, much as the air would.
Today 3:18AMIndeed. We would just need to be careful in how we defined the barrier. We might stop the airflow completely... Which would be bad.
Today 3:21AMIndeed. We could probably gain help from Yukari, in that aspect. I'm sure she would love for us to strengthen the barrier.
Today 3:22AMThere is another one of those, isn't there? And I'm sure she'd love to do such a thing.
Today 3:23AMYukari: Indeed she would~ *giggles*
Today 3:25AMI had forgotten about those convenient powers. Oh, still cheating.
Today 3:26AMYukari: They may be cheating, but it took me about 19,900 years to perfect them~ 100 to learn them.
Today 3:28AMTrue, true. I've not nearly that many.
Today 3:45AMYukari: There are few things I cannot do, with the many bounderies I manipulate.
Today 3:47AMBut one learns by achieving with their own hands, instead of depending upon another.
Today 3:48AMOhh, who said I was here to help? I'm here to make sure you don't kill us all! *chuckles*
Today 3:49AMGood then. I suppose we can experiment in peace now...
Today 9:19AMPatche: Hrm... I have a book on the ins and outs of creating barriers, so I suppose I'll start by fetching that. Would it be okay if I were to make a portal in the floor leading to my own library?
Today 9:26AMUnless you want to fly half a mile every time, I'd say no. Instead. *waves her hand at the wall, and a door comes forth from the stone* That will do.
Today 9:28AM...Interesting...
Today 9:32AMWhat is?
Today 9:42AMThe size of the place, if the floor is a half mile away.
Today 9:45AMIndeed.The ceilling is many times higher. It's nothing on the tower of babel, but it is a start.
Today 9:52AM*chuckles* Indeed, it is.

(What, exactly, does that door lead to?)
Today 9:55AM(Nowhere at the moment. She still needs to create the portal, but I figure that would be nicer)

Perhaps you can check on your companions first, while we work
Today 10:13AM*nods* Alright, I suppose I'll start on that portal, and then. With that out of the way, I can check on them freely. *makes her way over to the wall, and flips the a page in the latter half of her tome*
Today 10:18AM*watches her carefully, curious as to what will happen*
Today 10:26AM*five crystals silently appear, scratching 5/7 lines for a 7 sided star, and then, for the last 2, they double-over the same 2 lines with each* *with the star complete, ther create a circle in the center in much the same way as the last 2 lines, followed by a large circle that surounds the star* *with their job complete, the five crystals drill in to the points of the star, before pache flips a page for the next to last step*
Today 10:37AM*The five elements, plus sun and moon? Interesting use... Just use teleportation magic. unless I'm wrong somehow.*
Today 10:57AM*with the next page open, 2 more crystals appear, one being the darkest black, while the other was the brightest white* *they each drill into last two spots, before Patche begins to draw a single rune in the air with her fingers, and winds her hand around it 10 times, before her index finger starts to glow* *with ten taps of her finger, the the circle was now within 10 runes of binding* *begins to silently chant a short ritual, and presses her now closed book against the center circle, when the entire thing begins to glow, and etch itself into the wall* *sighs* Wewh, there we go. A second dimentional gate is complete. *smiles to herself*
Today 11:19AMAn interesting process. Don't believe I've seen elemental magic used in that manner. *walks up to the door and opens it, looking inside* And indeed, this is another library. Yours, I presume?
Today 11:21AMYes, this would be my library. Though, I find it curious that you can open it. Very few people are on the list of allowed beings... Maybe it's because you are me, in a sense... interesting...
Today 11:25AMReally? *attempts to walk through, but is stopped* OR perhaps your library knows that I cannot enter, so it sees no threat in letting me open the door. More research, Perhaps.
Today 11:27AMHrm... Indeed. Well, I shall be on my way, now. I'll be back by night, at the latest.
Today 11:33AMGood luck. *grins slightly* I shan't be going anywhere, so until then.
Today 11:35AM*nods, and closes the door*
Today 11:38AM*smiles, and turns back to a book* ...Come back soon.

(Shiro torture time yet?)
Today 11:40AM(Indeed!)

Sakuya: *opens door* And this would be the storage for these clothes.
Today 11:42AMShiro: *eyes widen* Umm... I was just going to try and find some pants and some shoes. Not... *Gazes at the thousands of pairs*

Koishi: *grins widely*
Today 11:45AMRemilia: Why rush? *grins sadisticly*
Today 11:49AMShiro: Because I'm a guy. I only need to get one thing, and I'll be done... *trails off on the look on everyone's faces*
Today 11:50AMFlandre: *giggles* But you aren't a guy, mister puddles!
Today 11:53AMShiro: Well, I was until I took over this body? *shoots them a look* What do I look like to you?

(Btw, I love that nickname)
Today 11:56AMRemilia: A french maid.

Flan: The mean puppy!

Meiling: A pretty face.

Sakuya: Me.
Today 11:59AMShiro: *sighs, and looks down* ...Well, if I sit here arguing, it will take longer. Let's get this over with.

Koishi: *immediately disappears, searching out for something*
Today 12:04PM*girls are waiting*
Today 12:34PMKoishi: *appears back* Tada!

Shiro: *sighs* Koishi, I'm 'not' going to try that on...

(You pick what she brought back. I'm curious what you'd do. XD)
Today 12:38PMRemilia: I didn't even know there was a bunny-girl outfit in there...
Today 12:39PMShiro: ...*turns to Remilia* I trust your taste more than hers. Would you kindly find something that isn't... *winces*

Koishi: Aw... *pouts*
Today 12:40PMRemilia: *sniffs once, and begins searching, eventually coming back with a scarlet red bra and panties, tossing them to Shiro* That's a start. *dives into the pile, and burrows in, looking for something*
Today 12:59PMShiro: ...You've got to be kidding me. I have to wear...

Koishi: Yup! We don't want you flopping all over the place, after all!

Shiro: *sighs* Alright, how do I get out of this stupid dress... *tries to undo any latch he can find, but fails pretty badly*
Today 1:02PMSakuya: *just about stops time, and swims through the air to Shiro* Are you active, still? Or shall I undress you without you being as such?
Today 1:05PMShiro: *is still for a few moments, and then moves* ...woah, this is... certainly odd. I suppose I am. Not that I have any idea how...
Today 1:07PM*giggles* Seeing as you won't be doing as such, I'm sure you won't get used to it. ...Though, I do wonder if you'll be able to move in my time manipulation, every time... For every 24 hours, I tend to add another 48... Now, shall I undress you? *starts by untieing Shiro's apron*
Today 1:11PM*blushes greatly* I suppose. I'm not sure how anyone fits in these things to be honest... Or how to ge tthem on and off. *watches as the apron falls* And that is the simplest thing here...
Today 1:14PMIndeed, it is. *smiles* *undoes a zipper on the back that is well hidden* But some cheat, and make their outfit easier to undo.
Today 1:18PMOh. *is able to pull the top of the dress off of him now* That was easy... Course, can't say I ever met her even in death, so I'd have had no idea. *chuckles* would have probably ended up ripping this thing.
Today 1:22PMYes, I can imagine that. *giggles* And now, it's just buttons down the front.
Today 1:24PM*completely unbuttons the rest of the dress, and finally steps out of it* *is blushing the entire time, and all over as he does* And now...?

(Do I need to describe Sakuya, or is that unnecessary? XD)
Today 1:27PMHuh... I never would have taken her for the type to not wear panties, but still wear a garter belt...
Today 1:30PM*looks down, eyes widening as his hands cover his privates* Erk. You have no idea how strange this feels...
Today 1:37PM(Go ahead! XD)
Today 1:40PM(Fine, let's see. No panties, since you saw fit to remove them. Although that could just be because Usagi soaked them earlier. White garter and hose, heels. Metallic corset to protect from damage, being a human in a land of supernatural creatures. Bodywise, is tall and slim. Bust being a small C so to make Shiro uncomfortable and yet not too uncomfortable. Hips are average size. Only noticeable thing is tiny waist, and extremely flexible. Due to a life of relying on dodging instead of taking the blows.)
Today 1:45PMSeeing as Yukari once turned the entire population male for a day? *sigh* That was very strange, waking up to such a thing.
Today 1:49PM*blushes* I take that back. I suppose you do. *sighs* I don't suppose you have any idea how to get the rest of this off, though?
Today 1:51PMThe corset? I could try, but it looks quite... difficult...
Today 1:55PMPlease do. It's digging into my side... And I'd rather not look like some kind of dominatrix.
Today 1:56PM*smirks* Exhale, and I'll try. If I fail, I'll just have Meiling rip it off...
Today 2:01PM*winces at the thought and exhales completely, holding her breath*
Today 2:03PM*unties the sturdy leather cord, and very, very slowly loosens it*
Today 2:05PM*starts to feel the need to breathe in, but holds the breath in, waiting for any success*
Today 2:06PM*eventually the metal thing goes slack, slightly* There.
Today 2:07PM*breathes in as he finally has room to breathe* Thank you... *out of curiosity, pulls it apart some more, and the corset falls over his hips and onto the floor* *stares at himself* There's no way this is physically possible...
Today 2:11PMWhat?
Today 2:12PM*points at the tiny waist he apparently has* Or is this me just being a guy, and not used to...?
Today 2:12PMHrm... She does seem slightly... thin... but not too terribly much.
Today 2:17PM*nods and sighs* Alright then, I'll take your word for it. And try not to freak out two many times. *looks at the bra and panties, and sighs, pulling on the lower undergarment* This is still weird...
Today 2:18PMI'm sure it is.
Today 2:27PM*finally picks up the bra, before eying it* How do I... Bah. Just get it over with, Shiro. Just get it over with. *tries to pull it on, attempting to figure how to work it as he does*
Today 2:30PM*smiles* Put it on backwards, and then spin it around, slipping your arms through the shoulder straps. That way, you can figure out how to put it on, and take it off, without need of help.
Today 3:03PM*blinks and does exactly as she says* I suppose that is... simpler. I still say this is completely odd... But are we done here? *pauses* wait, if we're done here, I have to go back to torture, don't I?
Today 3:08PM*chuckles* Indeed, you do. *starts time back up*
Today 3:10PMShiro: Oh crap...

Koishi: ! *stares at him, eye twitching* Shiro... *hugs him* I like you like this! We done here!

Shiro: I'm not wearing anything except underwear!

Koishi: I know~
5 hours ago*remilia pops out of the pile* I think you would like durrable outsider clothes, so I went for a few things made of denim. *holds up a short-ish skirt, a pair of a stretch-pants, and a pair of loose fitting jeans, all of which seemed to be his exact size*
5 hours agoShiro: *immediately points to the loose jeans* Thank you, though. I'll pass on the skirt though. That just feels... *blushes*

Koishi: *looks disappointed, but flickers back* Awwwwwwwok!
5 hours agoRemilia: *pouts* Aww... you would have looked good in a skirt, especially if you continued wearing no panties... *holds up a black tank-top* And something that won't hinder you any! *tosses the baggy jeans to him*
5 hours agoShiro: *gives her a flat look* Fine, keep it out, just in case I have to learn how to... do stuff like she did. But the panties *shivers* stay. *pulls on the jeans, before holding his hand out for the tanktop*
5 hours ago*hands him the tanktop with a giggle*
5 hours ago*pulls it on over his head, accidentally tugging one of the two sidetails loose as he did* Bah. So, how do I look?
5 hours agoRemilia: Hmm... *pulls the other braid loose* Perfect. *grins* And a great deal less like Sakuya.

Flan: Mister puddles looks cute, and yet tough~

Meiling: *nods in approval*

Sakuya: Huh... You look like an entirely different person. I suppose it was a good thing to save these clothes after all.

Tokiko: *flutters down the hall, but eventually backs up, noticing what was going on* *peeks around the door-frame*
4 hours ago(oh, you...)

*smiles weakly at the praise* Thanks. I'd rather not look like her, especially after what she did. *turns to Sakuya* No offense to you... *doing so, spots movement in the corridor* ...Hello?
4 hours agoTokiko: Eep...! *head-wing shoots up in surprise, exposing her quite well*

Sakuya: ... *smiles* It's alright, Tokiko. She's as crazy as I.

Tokiko: *peeks head out* R-really...?
4 hours agoShiro: Actually, after all I've been through, I'm probably crazier

Koishi: Of course! After all, how many humans die three times and still live?
4 hours agoTokiko: *smiles angelically* I'm glad. *head-wing flutters happily*
4 hours agoShiro: Aww... *can't help but to grin at the adorable sight*

Koishi: Come on in! You can help us dress up Shiro even more!

Shiro: ...*...crap*
4 hours agoTokiko: N-no, I, umm... I'm to make tea for miss Knowledge, while she looks for a book...

Remilia: Ohh? She's set up another gate, has she? *chuckles*

Tokiko: Yes. She's actually working on a way to allow another version of herself to leave her library. *smiles*
4 hours agoShiro: The Patchouli from here? That's good... She was nice. *pauses* If that was really her I met. It may have been a dream... But wait. The closet is that close to the kitchens?
4 hours agoSakuya: Close? No. On the way from the library? Yes.
4 hours agoShiro: *blushes* AAh, alright. Sorry for being impertinent.
4 hours agoTokiko: *makes her swift exit*

Remilia: Ohh, it's fine. I'm not one to easily take offense to such things.
4 hours agoShiro: *calls out* Goodbye! *waits a few moments* We're done here, then? Or do I need something else. *wriggles his mostly bare feet as he speaks*
4 hours agoRemilia: I saw a pair of plate boots on the other side of the pile, some cowboy boots to the middle, and a pair of combat boots neat this side.
4 hours agoShiro: I'll go with the least flashy thing possible. Which would probably be the combat boots. Nice and dull black. *goes over to pick them over*

Koishi: *once she's out of earshot, dashes over to Remilia* You don't have anything special I can trick him into wearing? Such a pity that he doesn't agree with my choices... He's quite cute, isn't she?
4 hours agoRemilia: *fang showing grin* What sort of special? There's things from the last 400-500 years in this pile, you know.
3 hours agoKoishi: Oh, something to really embarrass her. And the frillier, lacier, and bow-ier, the better...
3 hours ago*smirks* There are a few things like that in there, in about.. I suppose the section that is from the 1800s
3 hours agoKoishi: Go and grab something real quick, while I distract him...
3 hours agoRemilia: Aye aye, captain~ *chuckles* *flaps her way to the pile, ready to dive back in*
3 hours agoShiro: *comes back, boots in hand* Alright, that's good. Let's get out of here before-

Koishi: Shiiiiro! *grabs him by the hand* Come and look at these hats! We must find you one!

Shiro: ...I'm wearing a hat.

Koishi: Then we must find another! *doesn't let go*
3 hours agoRemilia: *pops out with a super duper frilly number from the old west wealty types*
3 hours ago(*is laughing outloud*)

Koishi: *once he's distracted, grabs his arms* Everyone, get him!

Shiro: What? What's going on?
3 hours agoRemilia: Sakuya! Help me undress him!

Sakuya: *nods, and quickly starts getting him out of his clothes*

Remilia: *starts to get him into the frilly outfit*
3 hours agoShiro: Ack, what are you trying to- I'll get you for- *has a sock stuffed in his mouth*
3 hours agoThere! Done~ *grins at the silly sight* I'm not sure how he ended up in make-up, but he looks adorable!
3 hours agoKoishi: Oh, that would have been me! Had to do something, after all~

Shiro: *merely growls and stamps his foot in frustration* I'm not a doll...
3 hours agoMeiling: As pretty as one, though. *chuckles*

Sakuya: *blushes at the indirect compliment*
3 hours agoShiro: *shoots an evil glare at everyone* I hope this doesn't become permanent... I won't like that at all.
3 hours agoAya: *takes a picture* Scoop get! *runs off in an instant*
3 hours agoShiro:....................
3 hours agoRemilia: ...Indeed.
3 hours agoShiro: *sighs* Please get this off of me, Koishi. I can't wear something like this.
2 hours agoFlandre: Aww... *pouts a bit* You look so cute, too!
2 hours agoShiro: ....*blushes* I don't want to look cute though. Or pretty, or any of that. I'm still a guy in here. *pokes at her head, and at her heart*
2 hours agoMeiling: Though, it would also trick some of the less intelligent youkai into leaving you alone. A frilly dress tends to mean one is a youkai, for whatever reason. *shrugs*
2 hours agoShiro: Then I might as well have kept the maid outfit on. This thing is so heavy, I probably couldn't run from those of moderate intelligence. Much less the smart ones.
2 hours agoSakuya: My outfit is over 100 kilograms. If you truely put effort in, you can move quickly in just about anything.
2 hours agoShiro: *shoots her a glare, before sighing* ...fine. But can't we find some sort of... compromise?
2 hours agoMeiling: If one shortens the dress into a skirt-dress, half the weight will likely be gone.
2 hours agoShiro: You know what? *goes back himself* I'll find something, then. I'm the one who has to wear the bloody thing... *grumbles as he disappears*

Koishi: *pumps her fist* Success!
1 hour agoRemilia: Good work, Meiling. *chuckles*
1 hour agoShiro: *comes back with a gray dress, that has many fewer layers than the one he currently had on, and was much simpler. The skirt had a few requisite frills and lace on it, along with the collar, which he hoped would satisfy them all* So...?
1 hour agoRemilia: *nods* That'll do.

Flan: It's cute!

Meiling: *nods her approval*
1 hour agoKoishi: Needs more cleavage.

Shiro: *shoots her a look*

Koishi: fine...

Shiro: Good. Now to get this bloody contraption off... *begins to try to reach for what might be a zipper, or a handheld cannon*
1 hour agoSakuya: *once more time slows to a near halt* I can asist in that. *swims her way behind him, and undoes the zipper*
1 hour agoShiro: *time melts around him, and he moves again* SakuyA! *nearly jumps as he recognizes the zipper being pulled* Nearly gave me a heart attack.
1 hour ago*chuckles* If I wanted to do such a thing, I would simply poison your tea some time. *smiles* That was unintentional, I can assure you.
1 hour agoShiro: Good, good *shivers* And sorry. Been a bit jumpy. Been seeing the looks that Remilia's been shooting me ever since...
1 hour ago

(It's 750,000 chars o_o It was too long for a single post, too. by 250000 chars.)

[Sonanoka]

Sakuya: That would be advice to live by. *smirks* Or, I suppose that that would be advice to die by, more like.

[Beginnings]

Shiro: *grimaces* Indeed. Can't help but take the hand I was dealt. Bother... *pulls on the garment reluctantly* At least I don't need a maid of my own to get this on... *freezes* Better not let Ruukoto hear that...

[Sonanoka]

Sakuya: Well, as a robot, she may be able to understand everything said in 1/60th of normal time.
