Death's Gatekeeper: Elly

(1/50) > >>

Tashi:

--- Quote ---I will look for Yuuka ♥
— Kurumi.
--- End quote ---

> ... You are, quite frankly, annoyed beyond words.

> Your name is Elly, a Scythe-Wielder Youkai (though actually an Ankou). You are the gatekeeper of Mugenkan, a mansion located in the middle of Gensokyo and the Fantasy World's boundaries.
> Quite the few years have passed ever since the attack done by the Red-White and Black-White girlies, as well as the departure of Yuuka, your Mistress, from the confines of her own mansion to wherever else she decided to head for. You were, unfortunately, left in the dark on her whereabouts.
> Ever since then you have taken the initiative to, daily, invite the Keeper of the Lake of Blood, Kurumi, to train. Thanks to such, your technique and power have increased exponentially in comparison to all those years back from lack of proper battling.
> Otherwise, life at the Mugenkan has been uneventful and really lacking any sort of excitement that could be much needed.

> You have been waiting for Kurumi for the daily routine, but she has been missing it. Three days in a row, in fact. You have been giving her some leniency, but now that you went your way to come out to the Lake of Blood, which is the entrance back, you can't help but feel betrayed to an extent.
> The contents are simple and straightforward. "I will look for Yuuka", signed by the name of who you consider a friend... who seemingly had no qualms in leaving a note that you might have not even read if you didn't came here to begin with, only to search for the one that is your Mistress. Not having been told a thing, you find yourself in the need to finally go out of your way to search for both Yuuka and Kurumi, and maybe have a thing to say to them both. After all this time, Mugenkan's now great gatekeeper shall reveal herself to the world.

> You are near the Lake of Blood, in this 'Gensokyo'. It is daytime.
> You can see a figure in the distance. Not particularly far away, nor too close. You'd assume they haven't even noticed you yet.

Neovereign:
> Before we do get noticed, check everything we can about our figure. Don't want to be caught in pajamas or something. How do we compare to Kurumi and Yuuka?
> With our increased power, how are our abilities compared to before? What are we capable of?
> Inventory check.
> What is our scythe like?
> Tiles?

> You know better than embarrasing yourself in such a way. Your figure is, if you say so yourself, a sight to behold in your usual blood red dress, capelet and hat included. At least, you think so from what you see in the mirror each morning, so it has to be true. Not that you have been given many compliments due to... uh, lack of people you have met.
> As for comparisons, Kurumi is the most young-looking out of the three, with you and Yuuka competing to see who looks the most mature. You think she beats you, but you aren't too far behind, at all. Makes you wonder if she changed any...
> With years of constantly training, regardless of how good or not Kurumi might be as your sole sparring partner, your skills have gotten back in shape to what you once remembered them to be, as well as going past such. Much as you have grown in your skills, you believe your scythe, with its ever curvy handle, has gotten... larger, perhaps? It has definitely grown stronger alongside you, to the point where its edge has gotten sharper, for example. You are currently carrying it, as you usually do. You are pretty sure if you were to fight against those invaders from all those years back now, story would most definitely not repeat itself.
> You have recently started to practice how to summon the Black Coach, a move you might consider making your finisher.

> Inventory:
♦ Kurumi's Note: A note left by Kurumi, in which you can read "I will look for Yuuka ♥". You have to admit her calligraphy is quite good.
> Outside of your usual belongings, no other worthwhile items are being held.

> Your "Boomerang Scythe" as it could be dubbed is your main weapon of choice. It has been with you for as long as you can remember. Its handle is... exaggeratedly curvy, but something that proves just how much skill you hold to being able to use it as you do.
> ... You have to admit, you have become fond of using floor tiles as a secondary weapon of sorts. It helps to surprise your enemies, if those invaders getting hit by them was any hint. You are no longer needed to take actual tiles from the diverse floorings there can be around: you can actually summon them yourself now. Still have to learn how to properly camouflage them with the surroundings, as their material is rather... crystalline and can take away from the surprise factor. It is, however, a material that can meld with what it reflects... in theory. You still need to learn how to do that.

Neovereign:
> Let's keep finding, or making, such material in mind for later, then.
> What's the Black Coach?
> Are we closer to Kurumi, or mistress Yuuka?

> Keep watch of the figure in hiding...

--- End quote ---

> You are unsure just how much will it possible, but if you can make what can be, essentially, called invisible attacks by having them reflect its surroundings... That might be a bit of cheating, not to mention all its other possibilities.
> The Black Coach is an underworld carriage. One that can be summoned by the likes of you... again, in theory. You ARE sure you can do it, but it does take quite the burden to even cast it. Doesn't help you aren't proficient at summons as Kurumi, outside of floor tiles of all things. Managing to do it... might be quite the accomplishment, and a step forward for you.
> You can pretty much say Kurumi is the one you get to interact the most with — obviously. You used to be close with Yuuka, but the vampire of the Lake of Blood has taken that spot in her absence. Regardless, you still consider your Mistress a friend rather than an employer.

> The figure seems to be looking around, as if searching for something. You can't discern concrete details of it, but you think it's a female, and that her clothing is mostly black.
> Said figure seems to finally look your way... Or, at least, your general direction.
