[Philosopher]

Seki:

Seki:
>Grab hold of the Tori

>Do we think we could grab hold of the grassroots network for information

>Muse about posing as Reimu to avoid annoying fame if we solve the incident
->Would our hair give us away?

Aya:

> The former. Still facing you.

Seki:

> You're a bit too far for that!
> Given no one shared such info with you yet, you don't think anyone knows.  Though you could probably check with Hime later to see if anyone else she notified knows about this.

> You believe it'd work. Only the people that each know you two closey might notice
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Aim the camera at her again, as if to take another picture.
> If she doesn't cover or close her eyes, take the picture.
> If she DOES cover or close her eyes, immediately pocket the camera and change course, darting in straight at her in an attempt to grab her with both hands.

> If she doesn't cover or close her eyes, take the picture.
> If she DOES cover or close her eyes, immediately pocket the camera and change course, darting in straight at her in an attempt to grab her with both hands.

Aya:

> You try again,  with her not shielding her eyes.
> The flash doesn't seem to bother her. In fact,  she stops rubbing altogether. Back to square one, now with a bit more then half the time remaining.

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> While continuing to circle, stow the camera and fire some basic danmaku at her torso.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> While continuing to circle, stow the camera and fire some basic danmaku at her torso.

Aya:

> You fire at the maid, prompting her to dodge in towards you, matching your pace in the cyclone now that she no longer in the center.  Or perhaps,  faster,  given she's in the inner circle.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> After a moment, fire some more basic danmaku aimed at the side of her that is close to the center of the circle, with the idea being encouraging her to dodge toward us again.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> After a moment, fire some more basic danmaku aimed at the side of her that is close to the center of the circle, with the idea being encouraging her to dodge toward us again.

Aya:[

> You repeat,  and she does too, being in range to be grabbed now.

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> How much time do we have left?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> How much time do we have left?

Aya:

> just about 4 seconds.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Pull the camera back out and use the flash on Sakuya's eyes again, taking two pictures back to back rapidly for two flashes, then put it away again.

[Philosopher]

Seki:
>Get on the ground

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Pull the camera back out and use the flash on Sakuya's eyes again, taking two pictures back to back rapidly for two flashes, then put it away again.

Seki:
>Get on the ground

Aya:

> You rapid fire 2 poor pictures, but the maid blinks on time with both.

Seki:

> You get on the ground.  The wind Is getting stronger though. You can even see the twister built up from here.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Come to an immediate stop with a slight grin.
> Shift our gaze from the maid to something behind her, slightly over her shoulder.
> Call out with a louder-than-normal voice.
> "Do it now, Momi!"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Come to an immediate stop with a slight grin.
> Shift our gaze from the maid to something behind her, slightly over her shoulder.
> Call out with a louder-than-normal voice.
> "Do it now, Momi!"

Aya:

> You stop, and so does the maid.  She doesn't flinch when you call for Momizi, instead,  raising a hand and catching the knife she originally dropped,  which seemed to have gotten caught in the gale.
> You think you do see Momizi in the distance... caught up in your wind.
> You might have the shrine in your Disaster range too...
>/

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Move through the same circle enough that, assuming the maid continues her movement to match us, Inubashiri is behind us while the maid is in front of us.
> Frown and raise a finger.
> "Pardon me."
> Dash back to where Inubashiri is, grabbing a hold of her to steady her.

> Dash back to where Inubashiri is, grabbing a hold of her to steady her.

Aya:

> You depart for Momizi and catch her.
> "I-I found the fairy!" She speaks.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Well done! Sorry for the wind."
> Look back at the maid as time presumably runs out.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Well done! Sorry for the wind."
> Look back at the maid as time presumably runs out.

Aya:

> You look back,  to find the maid already with you.
> "So. How do you think you did?" She questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Frown a bit.
> "A part of me regrets not going for broke after the first flash caught you off-guard. I really wasn't expecting that to only affect one of your eyes, and that threw me off for long enough for you to recover from it."
> Shrug.
> "Beyond that, it's clear you were prepared to deal with anything I could do when you laid the challenge out, so I consider it a victory that I at least got you to move around without ever advancing on you, since you said you wouldn't do that."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Frown a bit.
> "A part of me regrets not going for broke after the first flash caught you off-guard. I really wasn't expecting that to only affect one of your eyes, and that threw me off for long enough for you to recover from it."

> "It didn't really bother my eyes. And I'm glad you took notice of one of the things.  I... definitely meant to say I'd only move back when you approach,  but it appears my words betrayed my intentions.  Well, you've impressed me enough. I expected you to use your camera to capture me and declare your victory there. But this way let me see more, specifically what you'd do In a time sensitive situation like this."
> "In short,  I concede that I made a mistake,  but am still impressed."

[Philosopher]

Seki:
>If the the whirlwind is continuing
->crawl to get under the shrine

>Review the life choices that got us here at a yokai extermination shrine

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Is the tornado still going, in fact?
> How is Inubashiri holding up?

[Neovereign]

Seki:
>If the the whirlwind is continuing

>Review the life choices that got us here at a yokai extermination shrine

Aya:

> Is the tornado still going, in fact?
> How is Inubashiri holding up?

Aya:

> No. It's practically already gone... really unnatural.
> Fine. You believe.

Seki:

> It's dying down.  Fast.
> You came to see if the Hakurei Shrine maiden was on top of this incident.  While she knows of it, she seems... useless to do anything,  for now.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Let go of Inubashiri so she can "stand" in her own.
> "Thanks. For what it's worth, you had me well and truly stumped otherwise. I suspect it's very unlikely I could catch you even without a time limit if you didn't want to be caught."

[Philosopher]

Seki:
>If we don't solve this incident no one will and we'll continue to have this wrongness feeling

>Let out an exasperated sigh
->"Do you have any spare garb for temporary mikos?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Let go of Inubashiri so she can "stand" in her own.

Seki:

>Let out an exasperated sigh
->"Do you have any spare garb for temporary mikos?"

Aya:

> "I beg to differ. You and Reimu may be able to. Well, with much more training.  You seem to almost be and to notice me at extremes of time.  It could just be unconscious reaction. Well, enough of that. We should focus on this incident.  It seems to affect all of Gensokyo and most of the residents. Like the wind you made already returning to "normal"."

Seki:

> "No. Enough people keep wanting to try out my clothes. It's going to become popular to dress like me one of these days..."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Look around quickly.
> "...So that wasn't just my imagination."
> If we have them, pull out a notebook and writing tool.
> "What details do we know so far?"

[Philosopher]

Seki:
>"I would have thought the shrine would have outfits from the previous mikos."

>"Any tips for avoiding tengu journalists?"
