Koakuma Quest - Lesser Devil

[Tashi]

> Can we differ if those sounds are just footsteps, or voices? Or other kind?

[Neovereign]

> Can we differ if those sounds are just footsteps, or voices? Or other kind?

> Just footsteps...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Head toward the footsteps.

[Tashi]

> General direction of these sounds, if we can find that out? If so, then head to where they-

//Or that works too :v

[Neovereign]

> Head toward the footsteps.

> Which ones? The nearest? Those closer to your room? Those further away?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

I vote for closest to our room but will defer to your judgment.

[Tashi]

> Go on with that suggestion: closest to our room.

[Neovereign]

> Go on with that suggestion: closest to our room.

I vote for closest to our room but will defer to your judgment.

> You check the sounds closest to your room...
> Its just a fairy maid browsing one of the shelves...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Drat.
> Try heading toward the footsteps that were originally far away.

[Neovereign]

> Drat.
> Try heading toward the footsteps that were originally far away.

> You begin to do so, before hearing a few books hit the ground not too far from here....
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> ! Quickly, head to the sound of the falling books!

[Neovereign]

> ! Quickly, head to the sound of the falling books!

> You pursue the source, finding a sack with books in it and a few books on the ground near it and the bookshelf.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> What energies are in the immediate vicinity?

[Tashi]

> Stick to the shelf's side, making sure that we aren't in plain sight of someone that might be at the corridor between both shelves.
> What can we hear?

[Branneg Xy]

> Try and cross together the energy-sensing and hearing  to sense if Marisa, since this is her style, is coming back here for the sack or going elsewhere.

> If she is coming back her emaining mostly-hidden by the shelf-side  have our Danmaku-Aim ready to be steady&shoot to fire&nail her, especially within the zone around the sack,  when
we catch her at her most difficult angle to dodge our attack before she spots us.

> If she is not coming in this direction,  try and set a sort of pattern to her "trail and match it , as far as possible,  to the "patrolling rounds" of the fairy maids in the Library, to deduce if right now, or soon,  she could be come across one at a loc.  we know.

> Sticking to the wall of the shelf, you feel for any nearby energies...
> Nothing of use can be heard, but you do notice someone above you. And by their energy, it must be Marisa...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look up properly to see what she's doing and if she's paying attention to us.

[Tashi]

> Be prepared for anything. We don't know when she might be aiming at us with whatever. Not feeling like getting Master Spark'd, nope.

[Neovereign]

> Look up properly to see what she's doing and if she's paying attention to us.

> Be prepared for anything. We don't know when she might be aiming at us with whatever. Not feeling like getting Master Spark'd, nope.

> You look up, spotting Marisa on her broom above you, simply wiggling her finger.
>_

[Tashi]

> At us? Or is it maybe in a "no, no" way?
> Move away from this position, making sure that we have room to move away for anything she tries while we don't take our eyes off her.

[Neovereign]

> At us? Or is it maybe in a "no, no" way?
> Move away from this position, making sure that we have room to move away for anything she tries while we don't take our eyes off her.

> You aren't sure.
> You start to move away, keeping your eyes on her.
> She starts to descend, pulling out her Mini Hakkero and aiming it at you.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Eek!"
> Look panicked and put our hands up in the air.
> "Please don't!"

[Neovereign]

> "Eek!"
> Look panicked and put our hands up in the air.
> "Please don't!"

> You throw your hands into the air, but she continues to aim at you as she descends, nearing the ground...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "What do you want?"

[Tashi]

> "W-We can sure talk it out!"

[Neovereign]

> "What do you want?"

> "W-We can sure talk it out!"

> Marisa gestures to the books and the bag, then to herself with a thumb. Though she doesn't make any sounds.
>_

[Tashi]

> "... B-Books?"
> Does the bag contain any book as of now? Or is it empty?
> Do we have any spell to maybe neutralize her without damage? It would be nice to know just in case.

[Neovereign]

> "... B-Books?"
> Does the bag contain any book as of now? Or is it empty?
> Do we have any spell to maybe neutralize her without damage? It would be nice to know just in case.

> Yes it does. Pretty filled, actually.
> You could try to put her to sleep... Otherwise, everything you can think of, she'll probably prevent one way or another... Your magic doesn't really compare much to hers.
> She nods.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Prepare a sleep spell.
> Fidget.
> "Uh, well, Lady Patchouli isn't here right now, so..."

[Neovereign]

> Prepare a sleep spell.
> Fidget.
> "Uh, well, Lady Patchouli isn't here right now, so..."

> You prepare your magic for a sleep spell, though you don't expect it to do much to Marisa...
> Marisa raises an eyebrow.
