Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 4

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Where's the tiny Cirno?

Ami:

> Do the other combatants appear to have been affected by the ice?

Seki
>What do we know about magic?

Aya:

> She's by your side, not looking very happy.

Ami:

> Not Suzaku or the doll duo. The devil is supporting the two.
> Alice's nearby spinning dolls have stopped and fallen, but the laser crew are still beginning to fire.
> Alice herself seems to be warming up from her book. You're cold, however.

Seki:

> You're not sure what to say. It's magic,  you ain't gotta explain sh-
> well, if you had to, you'd say magic defies common sense, laws, and methods to do the things it does.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Let go of Utsuho.
> "Be careful with whatever you need to do, Nuke Bird."
> Gently pick the tiny Cirno up and watch the larger Cirno with some concern.

Ami:

> "Hey, no one told me this would be three-on-two!"
> Try firing bullets at the laser group.

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"No clue.  I know as much about magic as the average villager."

>Can we see large Cirno
->Mentally name the ice fairy that stayed behind Chilly

Seki

>Can we see large Cirno
->Mentally name the ice fairy that stayed behind Chilly

Aya:

> You release the burning bird.
> She winces, but seems fine?  Nothing with the cannon yet.
> You pick up the smaller Cirno. She doesn't even feel cold compared to what the other is emitting.

Ami:

> "She isn't with us for this battle." Qlice assures.
> You fire at the laser group, taking them out. Yet Alice simply makes more. A larger group, this time starting to scatter bullets your way. Now this looks like a danmaku duel. An easy pattern, but still.
> On Suzaku's side, she's still not getting past the dolls. The devil on the other hand, is preparing something?

Seki:

> Yes.

> "We're busy." The Oni declares. "Wait your turn."
> "And if I don't want to?" The big Cirno questions.
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Ready ourself to channel our magic

>Use our ability to say Cirno's name, but not Chilly's
->Use our magic to make the effect more potent

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> To Cirno-nee: "What's going on, champ?"

Ami:

> Dodge in the most sensible direction that moves us away from the closest part of the laser net.
> Can't play defense forever...fire a horizontal line of bullets at the blonde in return.

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Hold off on
->Use our ability to say Cirno's name, but not Chilly's

Seki:

> You watch.

Aya:

> "Not right now. I have a score to settle."
> "Can't you wait for them to finish their fight? You're shifting it to one side just being her." Daiyousei gestures.

Ami:

> You make some room before the bullets arrive and fire ar the blonde..
> She leaps over the danmake, surprisingly agile. Definitely not Tengu level,  but you sorta expected her to be the kind not to move much, nor very well.
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"I'm liking Chilly more and more."

>To Daiyousei, "Is Cirno still a fairy?"

[Kilgamayan]

Ami:

> Are we still being assaulted by cold?

[Neovereign]

Seki
>"I'm liking Chilly more and more."

>To Daiyousei, "Is Cirno still a fairy?"

Ami:

> Are we still being assaulted by cold?

Seki:

> You'd like to not be this close to what feels like a frozen lake.
> "Yes, she is."
> The ice fairy shoots a flurry of icicles.
> Dai responds by simply taking the attack with arms crossed.
> "Thought as much... you just make my cold useless." Cirno complains.
> "Then why did you come for a rematch?"

Ami:

> Yes.
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Rub our shoulders

[Kilgamayan]

Ami:

> ...Did we do something to this cold fairy?

[Neovereign]

Seki
>Rub our shoulders

Ami:

> ...Did we do something to this cold fairy?

Seki:

> It's not doing much to help..

Ami:

> You don't think so?
> The simple pattern is upon you.

> "Because I'm ready this time." Cirno boasts. "Perfect Fre-"
> The ice fairy vanishes
> "Clearly she wasn't. Go ahead and continue before she comes back." Daiyousei waves.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Frown a bit sadly at Dai.
> "Not gonna lie, I don't really like seeing you two mouthing off at each other like that..."

Ami:

> As before, dodge in the most sensible direction that moves us away from the closest part of the laser net. Hold off on returning fire for the moment; it would be nice to warm back up first so we can concentrate on multiple things.

Aya:

> "I'm not doing that much. She'd rather I take her seriously, yet still wants to surpass me. Cirno here knows how it is. She's probably still trying to figure out what to do, and if she even should."
> The heat seems focused on Okuu's cannon, but still nothing happens. Maybe she's calming down

Ami:

> There's no net this time.
> You make your way by,  trying to just warm up for now.
> Suzaku seems to be taken out by the dolls, while the devil is resting now.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Set Tiny Cirno back down on her own two feet.
> Is Utsuho still growing herself? If not, give her a wind-order to resume the previous growth.
> Resume squeezing Utsuho the same way as before.

Ami:

> Grimace a bit.
> Fling a ring of bullets at the devil.

> Resume squeezing Utsuho the same way as before.

Ami:

> Grimace a bit.
> Fling a ring of bullets at the devil.

Aya:

> You set the little ice fairy down, and get back to Utsuho's business.
> She's stopped.
> "I don't think i can anymore." She speaks.

Ami:

> You sneak a round of bullets at the devil.
> Alice, however, intercepts with a ring of dolls.
> "Come on Koa. Am I jusy doing all the work?" Alice questions.
> "W-Well we're about to win..."
> Out the corner of your eye, you notice the knocked out Suzaku vanish like before.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Continue squeezing in the background of all other actions (unless we're going to legitimately burn our hands).
> "Hmm? What can't you do, dear?"

Ami:

> Grimace a little more in the hopes we look desperate enough that they won't catch what Suzaku is doing.
> Fling a straight horizontal line of bullets at the blonde.

> Fling a straight horizontal line of bullets at the blonde.

Aya:

> You feel like you're gonna...
> "Grow any more..."

Ami:

> You desperately try to catch the magician off guard with a quick line of bullets.
> The dolls move in and take the hits. You might need quantity too...
> You feel a big breeze. Not cold, this time.
> Following it passing by, you notice a leg, or something, land against the puppeteer,  sending her back a bit,  to her surprise. Didn't seem as strong as the hits against the devil, but it stopped the danmaku
> Suzaku flops down after the kick, as if...
> You wonder if this was Aya's doing.  Throwing Suzaku towards Alice via the wind. She's definitely still unconscious.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> We didn't interfere with the battle, did we?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> We didn't interfere with the battle, did we?

Aya:

> Of course not.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Remove our hands, then.
> "Oh. What makes you think you can't? You seem to be doing so just fine so far."

Ami:

> Start flinging repeated horizontal lines of bullets, alternating waist-height and shoulder-height lines (so that we don't accidentally hit Suzaku's body). If we see dolls getting into positing to block bullets, pause our bullet-flinging to send a gust of wind straight upward below the dolls in the hopes of blowing them upward and out of the way, and then resume our patterened bullet-flinging.

Aya:

> "I don't feel like my body can do more."
Ami:

> You start throwing more serious danmaku, ready to act if the dolls interfere.
> They do, given Alice's recovering from the kick. Thus you intercept.
> Alongside the gust you've thrown out, Suzaku lands a nasty heel drop on the magician, as if she was part of your attack.
> Incredibly, the Magician still stands, only to be pelted by your danmaku and knocked over.
> The doll duo catches her,  while the rest of the dolls fall inert. Alice is still up, however,  while Suzaku appears to be out cold again?
> The devil makes her way for Alice's dude as well.

Seki

[Neovereign]

Seki

Seki:

> "I'm sure they'll be fine." Remilia states.

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "What do you think would happen if you tried?"

Ami:

> Start flinging repeated vertical lines of bullets, aimed in such a way to cut the devil off from the blonde (while still avoiding hitting Suzaku by accident).

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"Chilly has grown on me, but my meetings with Cirno have not been the best."

Seki

Aya:

> "I caaaant" She argues.

Ami:

> You once again try cutting the devil off. She backs off, looking upset.
> "Don't forget this fight is for Dai!" The pink fairy shouts. "You can turn this around, Koa!"

Seki:

> "They're mostly the same either way."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Ami:

> At what body level are the dolls holding the blonde up?
> Does the blonde appear mobile again?
