Title: Alice Quest - The Seven Colored Puppeter's Week
Post by: Neovereign on February 24, 2020, 10:40:51 AM
> You are Alice Margatroid, a magician living within the Forest of Magic.

> Your recent days have been a bit strange. Your usual dreams aided by the Butterfly Dream Pills from Eientei have been corrupted into nightmares of familiar faces and lands - Primarily of Makai. While not entirely “scary”, the terrors began to inflict damage that would stay even upon your waking.

> Not paying it as much attention the first couple of days, you continued your life with a few interesting developments happening. There was Marisa’s discovery of mushrooms that altered not just the consumer’s power and such, but also their figure, though all temporary. You began experimenting with these when you could find them, as well as your own abilities and new ways to apply them to other beings.

> With the growing knowledge of the mushrooms and your abilities, you did some literal growing, making your size much larger than you originally were, though not quite towering over entire houses. However, the problem of the dreams had become more relevant, and you started to seek out a way to stop them. Quite quickly, you managed to catch Aya, who then helped you reach your target: Doremy, a Baku and ruler of dreams. With her help, you were able to cease the dreams.

> You also tested these “Glamour Mushrooms” on other folk, finding that they don’t provide the exact same results to every individual. One of those individuals and a friend of Marisa’s, Nitori, was a Kappa that you started helping in her own business - mainly how to reward and incentivise the other working Kappa with her. They were pretty poor in cooperation, and already receiving cucumbers and money, so you suggested sake.

> With a couple different creatures tested, you opted to try for a god, and found that it still affects them as well. And from such, you were able to gain a source of production for the mushrooms. And yet, the greatest of results goes to Yuugi, an Oni, who was mysteriously capable of prolonging the usually timed effects of the mushroom.

> Following Yuugi’s grandeur was Meiling, who you began to spend some time with. A couple of dates have gone successful, and in your time spent together, you have even been able to help her expand her own abilities (and some other things). However your participation in Doremy’s own interest in your dreams has brought you to a much deeper one than the previous, leaving you to sleep in Meiling’s lap as you “returned” to Makai yet again. This time, you encountered the creator and god of that world herself, Shinki. The “nightmare” has been quite tame compared to the others, and you have even learned a bit more about Makai since your last time actually there.

> Currently, you still reside within the dream. You are in your Wonderland, near many Card Soldiers and Shinki. The goddess seems in control of things, and has prepared “a surprise” as something seemingly away from Makai that she claims is “nothing much”.

> "Then it won't take as long for it to happen. I'm sorry that there's not more to it that I can reveal." Shinki says.

> You try to will yourself awake now, not expecting much success. Nothing seems to happen, as Shinki just stares at you...
> She takes a bit of a surprised face, and waves, before you suddenly find yourself back in Gensokyo!


> You are lying down on something soft, facing the sky... And Meiling, who seems to be worriedly talking to someone.

//Ah yes. It's not exactly an RP. You do control the main character, but what succeeds, the results of things and the other characters and environment, are controlled by me.

> "Oh! You're awake. Ahh, you're awake..." Meiling sighs in relief. "Are you alright?"
> No, but she is still larger than her original size.

> You turn around, or well, look around as best as you can lying down like this.
> There are a few fairies around. They seem to be under Meiling's command, and a couple are in maid uniform.

> "Well, you weren't waking up after a while, so I tried to get some help, and the only ones nearby were the fairies. I didn't want to leave you, so I tried to start explaining." Meiling says.
> "Couldn't you have carried her if you didn't want to leave her?" One of the fairies asks.

> She seems like she did before you slept... She's larger than the mansion and can probably lift it, while you - still giant yourself, are resting on a grown variant of your futon in her lap. Her bust is still one of the largest you've seen. Actually, the largest now, since Yuugi hadn't grown this big... Even with the nights before, you still haven't had quite enough of her, though...

//A bit late into the quest, but I sort of want to organize a better information list. When this was starting, I simply used text documents and the like, but in more recent quests, I've started to use Google Docs. Far too early in the morning to even attempt such now, but it may be worthwhile later...

It appears to be a battle between her and someone using flames, and an intense one at that. You can't see the opposition through all the danmaku.

> Though, in fairness, this doesn't look too much like a Spellcard duel. There's much more intensity in some of the attacks. The other combatant may be out for blood, and there is quite a bit more surrounding damage than most danmaku fights produce.

>Observe!
> "Ooh? I'm gonna transform?" Sanae reacts with pleasant surprise. Seemingly in preparation, she outstretches her arms and closes her eyes with a skyward gaze.
> Given her outstretched arms, the first thing you notice is that her detached sleeves have become heavily exaggerated. It's almost like she's waiting for at least three other people to slide their arms in each as well.
> The second most immediately noticeable thing is that she's... somewhat highlighted. Outlined? She's glowing a bit, though only at the very edges of her body.
> The next is her hair growing a bit less than expected. It doesn't reach the floor, but it is still longer. It almost seems like there wasn't any change, until you notice the serpent coiled around a part of her hair reaching halfway compared to the rest. It may just be her hair flowing slightly, but it almost looks like it's moving. Not much bigger, but longer, at least by how much more it's circled around. Further up is a frog accessory. You didn't pay attention to it much, but it looks like it's only change is closed eyes. As if resting.
> Her outfit has expectedly extended, covering most of her legs now. The white of it has remained unchanged, and the pattern on the blue areas seems unchanged too.
> Her height has risen as well, which added to making it seem like her hair hadn't grown much... She might match Kanako now, from what you've seen.

> "I can't believe things like this actually exist..." She speaks, examining herself. "No, I can't believe it took this long to find something like this, I mean!" She clenches her fists, and the glowing stops. As does the flowing of her hair. "You have more, right?"

Post by: Neovereign on December 04, 2021, 02:28:10 PM
>What cards do we have? And what do they do, broadly speaking?
>
A small attack where you send forth a shot of danmaku that bursts to reveal a cluster of dolls. They retreat back various distances and angles while readying a laser, firing off lines of blue danmaku to their sides and front, firing the laser, and finishing with a small burst of red danmaku. With their speed in doing such, you usually don't have to worry about them being destroyed before they finish. Though there is some time for the opponent to rest after the barrage, and you're really vulnerable during this.

>
A spell where you surround yourself with dolls that continuously produce the same pattern of danmaku (briefly going outwards before returning inwards, then spreading out fully), while you move about. They don't help you endure more than the spell card trance allows though, but at least they won't be destroyed. There is the Orleans variant where you have them return back inwards once more in a split of even more bullets, as well as have your dolls fire more quickly.

>
You create a few dolls around the field that are destructible, but once again, quickly produce their attack. It's a simple, non-aimed pattern, but the enemy may be overwhelmed if they don't aim to destroy any of the dolls before they fire.

>
Similar to the previous spell, though you create the dolls more to one side of the opponent, alternating such to make it harder for them to dodge. Ideally, at least.

>
A group of dolls circle you as they continuously fire danamku. Again, all you need to do is move around. It covers all areas pretty well, and their flurry sometimes overlaps with itself, making the spell a bit denser at moments. This one has a variant as well, though it's pretty much only an increase in the danmaku produced. The full effort version, ⌠Elegant Spring Kyoto Dolls⌡ amplifies the danmaku produced to an extreme degree. Observant foes may start to notice a pattern with the heavier field however, which could help them.

>
A more advanced spell card, though still similar to the previous group. It's quite the visually pleasing card. Hanged Hourai Dolls is very similar, however, you finally have your dolls utilize bullets aimed towards your opponent.

>
A spell card, or more accurately, Last Word, where you put a bit more effort into danmaku. Your dolls overwhelm the field with danmaku, some of the bullets moving further sooner than the others. And around the time the opponent gets comfortable, you have your dolls focus fast and heavy fire on the opponent's position, forcing them to carefully move through the rest of the field constantly - or at least for the few moments before you repeat the pattern.

> You have other spells you could consider, but they either are pretty short or a bit too dangerous / unfit for danmaku play yet.

> "Sea Opening ⌠Moses Miracle⌡" The wind priestess declares, and a sea of lasers starts to widen on both of your sides.
> You declare Foggy London Dolls, which should be fine compared to some of your other options.
> Sanae already seems to be moving around a lot, as if in anticipation for dodging your incoming shots. And moments later, she begins to fire her own attacks at you.
> Very simple pattern of just three lines of bullets, but the center is split into two. This should be easy to-
> Ah, the frequency of her firing... eliminates the idea of just sitting between the split. And it looks like she doesn't even split it at a consistent angle either, so sometimes it's too thin to move between.

> Your current worry is the approaching "Sea" to your left, while the bursts of danmaku from Sanae herself seem negligible so far. However, it would be extremely risky for you to stay close to this sea with most of her bullets running more parallel to - and through the left sea than the one to your right, which also has more open space to dodge through.

> Unfortunately, this spell card doesn't let you get much of a view of the spectators, especially since they aren't below or above you as much as they are further away.
