// Let's see how this goes...

>You are Marisa Kirisame, and you want a firetruck.
>You read about them once in a book you borrowed from Rinnosuke. At the time you just thought of them as "one of those Outside World things", but as you watch your house burn to the ground around you you can't help but wish they were in Gensokyo, too.

>What's our body condition? #I'd make the "Check our chest growth" joke but that seems unfitting considering the fire.
>Do we know how our house got torched? Potion brewing gone wrong? Tongue slipped while incanting? Wait... Don't say that our Mini-Hakkero became sentient again?!

>Did we grab our important stuff?
>>On that note: Full Inventory, please.

>>On that note: Full Inventory, please.
>You're fine, though your clothes are a little singed.
>You were doing some maintenance on your mini-hakkero when it suddenly sparked and lit the house on fire. Thankfully it was pointing away from you when it lit up.
>However, you're pretty sure you disabled your mini-hakkero before starting maintenance. And disabling it is a pretty tedious process that requires tools--you'd think you'd remember if you forgot to do it.

>Inventory:
>>Mini-Hakkero: Your trusty mini-hakkero. You use this thing a lot in your attacks, most notably your signature Master Spark. It should be disabled right now, but you're not sure if it actually is.
>>Spell Cards: Your spell cards. You always carry these things with you. They've stayed pretty much the same since the IN incident. Some of them use your mini-hakkero.

>The only other object you would consider important that's not already on you would be your broom. It's sitting near the entrance.

>What do we know about fire trucks?
>The book you borrowed had a lot of pictures, so you have a pretty good idea of what they look like. You also know that they can shoot out a lot of water if given a source.

> Desperately and quickly grab it without concern for our safety #Since we're Marisa.

>Doesn't Patchouli know water magic? Could she get here in time?

// I'd think Marisa would do something like that, but I'm not 100% sure.

>You quickly grab your broom before it catches fire. Honestly, you're pretty surprised it hasn't already burned up.

>Your house is already pretty crispy. It doesn't seem likely that you'll be able to save it.

>We could grab some water? Don't we have some of that for potion brewing?
>>Actually whatever amount of water we have couldn't possibly solve a house fire.


>Leave before we burn down with the house!

>You quickly get the heck out of dodge.

>As you reach the edge of the clearing, you turn around just in time to see your house collapse. Good thing you left when you did.

>As the fire winds down, you think about other things you own (or "own").

> Affirm that we have our Tsuchinoko as well. Or that it's already somewhere safe. Or that Tsuchinoko Not Real
>As time has passed, you've allowed the Tsuchinoko to roam around a little and hunt for food. Today is no exception. Your Tsuchinoko should be fine.
>On the other hand, you don't know where it hunts. So where it is right now is an open question.

>The books we borrowed from Patchouli, are they protected by magic?
>They are. All of Patchouli's books are protected against potential threats, and fires are no exception.

>Who could we call for help in removing the rubble?
>>Alice might be nearby?
>>Patchouli? But she might ask us give back the stuff we borrowed!
>>Reimu? But how would we convince her to help?

>Make a mental note to go to Kourin for a check-up on the Mini-Hakkero when we can.

>With the fire pretty much over, you hop on your broom and fly off to Alice's house.

>It's not long before you arrive. A few dolls are flying about, but the place is otherwise quiet.

>You knock on the door and shout out. Soon enough you hear a voice from inside.
>"You don't have to shout Marisa, I heard the knocks just fine."
>Alice opens the door.
>"Besides, the dolls let me know I..." Alice hesitates.
>"What happened to your clothes?"
