Seija Quest 3

[Tom]

> Oh, right. What about in our immediate vicinity but not in Flandre's current line of sight, then?

> You recall there being a cauldron you practiced with earlier behind you.

[Kilgamayan]

> Fly over next to the cauldron, and then swap with it.
> Then take to the air properly, head above shelf level and away from Flandre to get a little bit of distance between us.

[Tom]

> Fly over next to the cauldron, and then swap with it.
> Then take to the air properly, head above shelf level and away from Flandre to get a little bit of distance between us.

> You switch with the cauldron and fly off above the shelves into the fog and hear her start counting.

[Kilgamayan]

> How thick is the fog up here?

[Tom]

> How thick is the fog up here?

> You can only see 5-10 rows of shelves over?

[Kilgamayan]

> From a perspective of facing where the counting is coming from, begin flying to the right.

[Tom]

> From a perspective of facing where the counting is coming from, begin flying to the right.

> You swiftly fly right, narrowly avoiding a red blur which races past you!

[Kilgamayan]

> Yikes! Was that her, or just bullets?

[Tom]

> Yikes! Was that her, or just bullets?

> "Too big to be a bullet, but you could say you just dodged a bullet!"

[Kilgamayan]

> Undo the swap with the cauldron.
> Then fly back upward so we're above the shelves, and try locating Flandre using the locator part of our swapping ability. (Do not swap with her.)

[Tom]

> Undo the swap with the cauldron.
> Then fly back upward so we're above the shelves, and try locating Flandre using the locator part of our swapping ability. (Do not swap with her.)

> You double back using your inversion ability!
> Time appears to slow as you try and locate Flandre through the fog.  Considering theres literally nothingness above and around you she sticks out like a sore thumb!  You could swap any moment now that you've got your minds eye in her direction.
> A voice hisses "Somethings reaching at us!"

[Kilgamayan]

> Is that our internal monologue, or something we heard said out loud?

[Tom]

> Is that our internal monologue, or something we heard said out loud?

> Neither, it sounds like your 'voice' but you don't remember saying it out loud or thinking it.

[Kilgamayan]

> Do that swap, then! Hopefully we'll lose it!

[Tom]

> Do that swap, then! Hopefully we'll lose it!

> You perform the switch and end up high above the shelves?  So far up you can't see anything in any direction just darkness in the fog...
> You hear a distant banging sound, like someone (or something) just slammed into some shelves.

[Kilgamayan]

> Wow, she's damn good...all the more reason to get her on our side!
> Undo the swap.
> Then try swapping the fog from opaque to transparent.

[Tom]

> Wow, she's damn good...all the more reason to get her on our side!

> "Or maybe they're trying to get you on their side?"

> Undo the swap.
> Then try swapping the fog from opaque to transparent.

> You switch back and try to manipulate the fog which clears slightly.  You still can't see the edges of the library though...

[Kilgamayan]

> Can we see Flandre anywhere?

[Tom]

> Can we see Flandre anywhere?

> Yes!  Just beyond a 'crossroads' in the bookshelves.

[Kilgamayan]

> Experimentally fling a few horizontal lines of bullets at her.

[Tom]

> Experimentally fling a few horizontal lines of bullets at her.

> You proceed so, though they will take some time to reach her.  Something shiny like a sword being swung sparkles in her direction.

[Kilgamayan]

> Head upward about six feet.
> Then fire a few more horizontal lines.

[Tom]

> Head upward about six feet.
> Then fire a few more horizontal lines.

> You throw a few more horizontal lines from above and notice a few crescent "slashes" coming your way, homing up towards your new location.

[Kilgamayan]

> Left, to see if they follow

[Tom]

> Left, to see if they follow

> They're still closing in!

[Kilgamayan]

> Are we capable of firing homing bullets?

[Tom]

> Are we capable of firing homing bullets?

> Lightly homing bullets but it takes more magical energy, equivalent to 3 or 4 regular ones.

[Kilgamayan]

> Up!

[Tom]

> Up!

> That manages to get away from it.  Your two lines of bullets finally reach Flandre, who is too preoccupied watching you dodge the crescent slashes and nearly gets hit!  She stumbles back for a moment to regain her bearings.

[Kilgamayan]

> Oh, right, victory condition. Is there a traditional "X Strikes And You're Out" point in danmaku battles?
