3rd Spellcard: Haphazard Exchange "The Priestess and the Immortal Flame"

[paradisemiko]

Action: Around Mayfield

(Moar Mayfield madness for Miss Miko...yeah, fun stuff.

Anyone who knows her probably won't recognize her:




But hey, she's just walking and/or flying about Mayfield and accidentally lighting things on fire. She'll try to put them out, but those attempts really end up as "turn on the person's sprinkler system as fast as possible. Still, here she is: fire and flight and all of that fun stuff. Catch her if you can~)

[AT SOME POINT... there is a boot to the head. From a witch on a broom.]

[hakureivictim]

(Right to the head...the back of the head. Boots hurt, man.)

Ow! Who did that!?

[adropofjupiter]

You know who, ze.

[hakureivictim]

What'd I do to deserve that?

[adropofjupiter]

Didn't I tell you not to get involved with that woman?

[In a roundabout way. She did warn about the woman randomly asking about magic and shit.]

[hakureivictim]

(Oh...that...)

But I told her it was divine power; I never said it was magic!

beware the herd of teal deer

[adropofjupiter]

And yet she's calling it magecraft which is her world's term for magic! She's an idiot, Reimu! She doesn't understand when to leave things alone even when she's told to.

[Marisa is going to wing a handful of danmaku at Reimoukou.]

And then you had to go tell her about the incidents and how we stopped them. Did you forget that stopping that stuff if your job, not mine? I don't get involved because I have to or for some greater good or purpose; I'm just bored or thinking I'll find some awesome loot out of it. [Or she can possibly show Reimu up, but that's beside the point.]

We are not 'the equivalent of Enforcers' in Gensokyo. I'm sure as hell not. And neither are you. Don't go making alliances and stuff with that woman! She's a damn loose canon that will make you end up having to do more work than you want to. [Marisa knows she can use Reimu's laziness against her.] Now she thinks you'll aid her when she does something stupid, like stick her head in a dragon's mouth because she just happened to feel some kind of magic emanating from it and thinks it's her duty and right to go poke it.

And when you, being you, take your time or feel like enjoying the sweet Ciel makes and don't help her as fast as she thinks you should, do you think she's going to understand? Do you think she's going to calm down? Or do you think she's going to get pissed off and violent because she's just a damn brute and, in her mind, you might as well have magic like the rest of us?

[Have another handful of bullets.]

And what the hell was with you telling her to apologize to me? Goddamnit, Reimu, you should know when I don't want ANYTHING to do with someone. I've had a ward up about my house for weeks now that bars her from setting foot on the property.

[Her tirade is winding down and she actually looks less angry and more distraught.]

I'm so tired of yelling at and beating the snot out of you. [Even if it has been kind of empowering, Marisa knows it won't last until Reimu gets enough back to be able to wipe the floor with her again.] I've been here too long and... and... and... parts of it have been hell.

[She throws one last star, but it's slow and pathetically weak, as she's not even trying to make them effective anymore. This one, if it hits, will just comically bounce off her head.]

...and I hate that I'm yelling this at Mokou's face. [sulk]

[magi_punches]

What are you doing?

[Bazett is doing her best to look intimidating while in a teenage girl's body.]

I am Bazett Fraga McRemitz, Enforcer of the Mages' Association. Cease and desist in your activities at once.

[hakureivictim]

...hello, Bazett. It's Reimu.

[magi_punches]

Hakurei...?

[She frowns.]

I will need some proof. In your opinion, what is the best way to apologize to Kirisame?

[hakureivictim]

Give her breathing room and let her beat you up if it gets really bad.

...but from what I've heard, that didn't work out too well...

[magi_punches]

So she told you that...

[Bazett pouts a little. It certainly looks less awkward in her current teenage girl body.]

Do you have any knowledge of how to reverse this change?

[While a normal magus would have no idea, perhaps a Shrine Maiden would know more?]

[hakureivictim]

Not her directly, but...I heard about it.

(Might be easier to not tell her that Marisa's hunting her down. That'd only make it worse.)

I wish I did, but even if my divine powers could fix it, someone else has them...

[badladyscramble]

Oh, the delinquent is making a fuss? How uncouth~

[YES, REMI, TEASE THE PERSON WHO MAKES FIRE WHILE YOU HOLD ONTO YOUR HIGHLY FLAMMABLE PARASOL, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA]

[hakureivictim]

(Oh, how terrible things would be for Remi if that parasol were burnt to a crisp. How would it protect her from all of that sunlight? THERE IS SO MUCH OF IT

But Reimu's going to play along for a bit.)

Oh yeah? What're you gonna do about it?

[badladyscramble]

Oh, nothing much. Except perhaps laugh at your sheer clumsiness with which you handle that power.

[TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME]

[hakureivictim]

Clumsiness, you say...?

(Is that...? Why yes, one of your shoes is on fire! You should probably tend to that.)

[badladyscramble]

Hey!

[SHE KICKS IT OFF IN THE HOBO'S FACE. FLAMING BOOT TO THE HEAD]

[hakureivictim]

(ALWAYS WITH BOOTS TO THE HEAD TODAY

But she seems to graze it easily; as if she had the tiniest hitbox out of all of the playable girls...)

Now you'll have to walk around with only one shoe. Well, you can fly, can't you?

[nunswithguns]

[On one hand, she knew Mokou.

On the other, she's not herself right now, so she's totally powerless against random fires, which means confrontation would be a bad idea because she knows how grumpy Mokou can be. HOWEVER, bodyswaps have been happening left right center one day, so maybe... she could chance it...? This may be someone else...

Whelp, better than nothing. She could at least tell that person to be more mindful, or do her best to explain who she really is if this truly happens to be Mokou. So with her hands on her hips and looking a tad worried, she'll call the supposed white-haired immortal out by the body's name.]

...Mokou-san?

[hakureivictim]

(And so, that gets the attention of one supposedly immortal girl. The body sure is, but it's pretty clear from the body structure that it isn't.)

Umm...you're half right? I think that's how it works...

(There's that, too.)

[nunswithguns]

...H-huh? "Half"?

[yeah that answers her question, but you just lost her again with that comment because she has no clue what it's supposed to mean...]

[hakureivictim]

Well, this is Mokou's body, but I'm not exactly Mokou...

...well, not Mokou at all. I'm Reimu.

[nunswithguns]

[oh

whelp

right]

I thought so too, Mokou-san is usually a lot grumpier, and she doesn't show off her powers as much as you were doing. ...Please be careful with that, will you? It'd be bad if you burn anything down like this! [a bit chiding, but she's mostly concerned.]

[hakureivictim]

It's, uhh...not that I'm showing off, because I'm not. It's more like, uhh...

...more like trying to get used to them, honestly. She said something about willpower, but it took her a long time to get where she is today. At least I'm not burning down anything bigger than a bush.
