	"Hmmm, I wonder if I bring back something for Alice..." she mutters. *	Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku sees this as an oppertunity to try and tail someone...out of the options, one of them seems to be going off alone...it could be her perfect oppertunity to obtain today's host, so she figures it's worth a shot. She begins to follow Marisa, still under her illusion. She won't actually strike until she can confirm nobody's going to catch her in the act 	"Eh, might as well." Marisa says, going off towards town to buy some food. *	Marisa_Kirisame flies pretty lazily down a path towards the village, wondering what to buy. "Maybe some mochi? Hard to go wrong with something sweet, heh heh." 	"Maybe those stuffed fish bread things... what do they call them..." *	Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku waits until she's a bit past the gates...and suddenly flies straight toward Marisa, dropping the illusion mid-rush, no other warning beyond that. Since she's already appearing as her kitsunebi form, she need only make contact with Marisa to start attempting to gain control. *	Marisa_Kirisame suddenly perks up when she senses movement, swinging around and throwing a wave of large star danmaku as she does. "Eh? What the heck?" *	Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku is not entirely surprised to see such a reaction, though it does force her to quickly change direction to avoid being hit. She leaves a trail of flames as she evades, and before gearing up for her next chage, said flames start attempting to close in on Marisa, if only to serve as a distraction as she attempts to possess her again. 	"Heh, ya almost got me there, maybe you need another lecture from Byakuren, ze?" Marisa says, maintaining her distance by flying back a bit into the air, while fishing out her mini-hakkero. She throws down a cone of stars at the offender, thinking she might be from the temple. 	"I'll go easy on 'ya, and let the monk teach 'ya some manners, then!" *	Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku once again is forced to evade, though seemingly nicked by a few of the stars this time. Once she's gotten some space, she decides to cast a new illusion, one that duplicates herself once. She and the duplicate start circling Marisa on opposite sides of her and eventually break out into another simultanious charge. The question is, which one of them is the real one? 	"Hmph! No chance!" Marisa says, quickly casting Magic Sign "Stardust Reverie", as a number of spiraling arms of starts starts eminating around her. It's one of her weaker spells, so it's easy to cast. *	Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku drops the illusion which allows her to focus more on weaving through the attack. After a number of close calls, she seems to be closing in, still trying to circle Marisa to make it harder for a possible counter attack. *	Marisa_Kirisame is tempted to upgrade the spell into Black Magic "Event Horizon", making approaching her impossible. "You sure seem intent on gettin' in my face, ya know. Not even a single danmaku, huh?" Marisa chides, hopping off her broom in mid-air and grabbing it by the handle. The stars are still spiraling around her as she watches the youkai weave in closer, "Alright, then, let's see what you got." *	Shou_Toramaru is now known as null *	Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku decides to once again use an illusion now that she's got a dodging rhythm down. She seems to split into two again, and those two split again, and again, until there are about eight masses of spectral flame all going in different directions. Some seem to be getting nicked by the spellcard, opting to try and get away or move closer to Marisa. The real one is somewhere among them, but they're spreading out fast. 	"Gah, now you're just being difficult", Marisa complains swinging her broom at any who get to close. Magic circles begin to form around Marisa as her spellcard dies down and Black Magic "Event Horizon" begins to start up. Anything caught too close to this isn't likely to get out easily. *	Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku would be the one actually furthest from Marisa. While the illusions keep her busy, she maintains a safe distance and begins spreading fire danmaku all around, some of which stop in place to accumulate more power by absorbing other bullets before bolting toward Marisa. She just needs one opening and she'll be set. *	Marisa_Kirisame has trouble dodging when she's not on her broom, calling out "Whoa! Now we're talking!" as she flys to the side to avoid one, and sticking her broom back between her legs. The spellcard is in full effect now, spiraling arms of stars jumping out from the magic circles now, creating a pattern that traps anyone too close for comfort. *	Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku having had her previous illusion destroyed by now starts firing fake fireballs alongside the real ones. They're all starting to move at incredible speed, and it's difficult to tell which ones are real or not by just a glance. Tenki is far enough away that the trapping pattern isn't a concern to her, though she does still need to evade the other danmaku present. *	Marisa_Kirisame is having trouble dodging, and seems surprised when one fireball streaks by her dress in one dodge, burning with heat, and another one passes right through her hat harmlessly. "Gah! My Ha- Eh?" she yelps in surprise. As soon as there's one youkai left, the spellcard abrubtly dies down as her mini-hakkero begins to glow brightly, and she starts rushing in a circle to start avoiding the danmaku much more easily. 	The hakkero glows steadily brighter as several large magic circles jump out from it, showing complex designs and magical symbols, glowing a scintilating rainbow. *	Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku starts maneuvering closer, still attacking out of an attempt at distraction. Some of the fireballs are varying in size, one rather large one seeming to miss Marisa by a few feet. With all the illusions she's been throwing around, it wouldn't be out of the question that she's trying something underhanded again, but from Marisa's point of view, it looks like just a continuation of this attack. <>Ambiance<>	 A bright flame wavers on the horizon, coming from the direction of the youkai forest. It seems almost golden-white in color, and little smoke rises. *	Marisa_Kirisame smirks as she weaves and waves circles around danmaku, no longer stifled by having to stay in one spot with her card. But slowing down once her hakkero is charged. Coming to a halt, she turns to face the youkai with her hakkero aimed. 	The magic circles flash brightly as the center of the hakkero emits a thin, white harmless laser, but after just a second this bursts into a massive laser. The power of Love Sign "Master Spark" seems rather toned down, but it's still packing enough of a punch to knock most youkai out of the air. 	((Marisa's effectively following Spell Card Rules in terms of oomph)) *	Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku seems to be caught in the blast, as well as a lot of her attack. As a matter of fact, when the Master Spark terminates, there's nothing there anymore. Well, not in front of Marisa anyway. The fox had disguised herself as the aformentioned large fireball which missed and is now on a collision course with Marisa's back. What Marisa thought was Tenki had been an illusion since that moment. *	Marisa_Kirisame of course can't really move due to the recoil from the Master Spark, but she chuckles to herself as she believes she's got a direct hit. *	Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku collides with Marisa, forcing herself into her body, attempting to take full control, and now, she can hear a voice as it happens. 	(Well, well, you were a lot of trouble to get to. I almost throught you weren't worth it, but you have proved interesting...seeing as you're just a human, yet you possess all this power~) *	Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku of course the whole ordeal is likely to break Marisa's focus, so she may end up plummeting a bit as this happens... 	"Agh! My head!" Marisa yells, the concentration on her spell breaking as the spark abrubtly fizzles out. She puts both hands to her head. "Nnng! So it's brain games now? You're one tricky youkai!" *	Marisa_Kirisame is surprisingly difficult to take over, as she goes to concentrate on resisting the mind control. Even her flight starts to fizzle, dipping down towards the ground in jolts. 	"I'm only an ordinary magician, but I'm no ordinary human!" she threatens. 	((I wouldn't entirely call it mind control, as Marisa's consciousness and whatnot would still be there if Tenki took control, and still would be able to communicate via thought.)) 	((Marisa's mind is still her own, it's just Tenki would be telling her body what to do)) 	((Or attempting to)) <Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku>	(You don't need to yell to speak with me, merely speak in your mind and I'll recieve your message~ Besides, you'll look like you've gone mad if you continue talking to yourself like this~) *	Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku is actually trying to get Marisa to land at the moment. Would be much safer for the both of them to continue on solid ground. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Who said I wasn't - grrr - already mad?" Marisa asks angrily, trying to put on a smirk in spite of being rather annoyed. She seems determined to resist any outside input, her 'landing' more jerky then ever, but more downward before she lands precariously on her feet, then sitting rather clumsily on the ground, still holding her head. <Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku>	(Now calm down...Marisa Kirisame, is it? I wouldn't have thought I'd be able to catch you out in the open like this. Let's see if we can get you to calm down a bit, so you can think a little bit more reasonably, hm~?) <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Eh? Why should I try ta -hnnng- take advice from you? I can't simply -hrrk- hand the reins over ta someone else. I wreak enough -ugh- havok by myself. I'll give ya that was a pretty -fff- clever ruse ya pulled, tho" <Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku>	(I would not stand for anything less~ The challenge requred it, so I used it. In any case, you need not worry about me causing any damage during my stay with you...your power is certainly a nice bonus, but it's not the main reason I seek out people to possess~) <Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku>	(Perhaps now would be a fine time for you to relax, you did just unleash, what, three spellcards in attempt to keep me away? One of which one could call your "signature move"? Truly, it would be wise of you to rest~) <Marisa_Kirisame>	"You're still not... gonna get me! Three cards is nothin', and I went... blegh... easy on you!" *	Marisa_Kirisame seems to start to get increasingly less tolerant of the control now that she's sitting down and has nothing else to focus on. She's quite the powerful witch, and has a powerful mind behind it, despite her crude way of speech. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Alice ain't gonna be... happy, heh. heh. heh.... and she won't take long ta... figure ya out if ya succeed." <Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku>	(I'm hurt that you didn't see me worthy of your full power. Really, I am~ Ah, but Alice...yes, her. Perhaps I would have trouble masking the fact that you're acting oddly around her...but it's of no concern.) *	Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku | All of a sudden, Marisa would stop feeling as if she's fighting for control of her body, as if Tenki stopped trying to take over. <Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku>	(I don't HAVE to mask it...you can do it for me~) *	Marisa_Kirisame stops looking like she's struggling with her head, suddenly a bit clearer. "Eh?" she utters, momentarially confused. She waves her arms around just to make sure she can use them, looking around for the youkai but seemingly alone now, excepting her headmate. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"That sounds like a terrible deal. I don't get anything out of it, anyway. And get out of my thoughts, nobody rifles through my thoughts! My secrets are off limits to everyone!" *	Marisa_Kirisame ignores the fact she already knows more then one mind-reading youkai, and this is a bad point. <Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku>	(Hard to hide secrets from someone who's peering into your very mind... Not that I'll tell anyone else...your secrets are safe with me, I promise~) *	Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku quickly takes control of Marisa's hand to give herself a thumbs-up. Marisa can hear Tenki's giggling right afterwards. <Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku>	(...Besides, it looks like you've had your mind probed by at least one other youkai. You should be used to this by now~) <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Ohhhhh no, do you know how many years I've been studying magic? If you so much think ya can copy any of it, you're in for a world of hurt once you get outta my head, and - hey! My hand!" Marisa says, flailing it rapidly. <Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku>	(I suppose I might quell your fears of your magic being copied. I have no intention of using that particular knowledge for myself. No relevance to my strengths whatsoever. I suppose having a laser that powerful might be useful, but no, I will refrain from using your own talents for myself...which may I add, from what I'm seeing, you yourself are not above doing~) <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Yeah? Well I'm no youkai either. Stealing magic is a feat for humans, not some dumb excercise." Marisa says, looking around and thinking at this point that talking aloud to herself really did sound dumb. <Marisa_Kirisame>	(I'll have you know I'm one of the strongest humans in this joint! And my friends aren't above less friendly measures, either. Hell, nothin's stoppin me from walking back in the temple right now!) *	Marisa_Kirisame folds her arms, appearing to ruminate as she stands in the middle of the road. <Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku>	(Well, not right now. Remember, just because I'm not trying to take control now doesn't mean I can't do so later if you try and do something about me. Just focusing on one section of a body is much easier than controlling an entire body of someone who's resisting my grasp~) <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Hrmmm..." Marisa mutters with annoyance. She wasn't too happy with this guy running rampant in her mind, but at least they beat her fair and square. (Remind me what I have to gain from not sittin right back down and tryin' to force ya outta my head again?) <Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku>	(Well, I've done more than a fair share of hopping around, both here in Gensoukyou and in the outside world. I'm quite the knowledgable person myself as a result, having absorbed information from many people from many places~) <Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku>	(I could let you have some of that information just for toletating me for just a bit of time~) <Marisa_Kirisame>	(What kinda info and what are ya plannin ta' do?) Marisa asks, not satisfied with such nebulous terms. <Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku>	(Oh, I just plan on having a little fun every now and again. Maybe insert one of my own thoughts among your own, take control when you don't expect it, that sort of thing. As for what kind of information I could give you, hmm...ideally I'd give you something that would be relevant to your interests, but as of right now, I'm having a little trouble deducing what might pique those. I must have-) <Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku>	(-expended more energy than I thought...) *	Rinraku_no_Youjin_Kageki is now known as nullasleep <Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku>	(I could also simply make a promise not to take control and simply be a voice in your head for my stay. That way you won't run the risk of me doing something to embarass you or something~) <Marisa_Kirisame>	(If ya embarass me in front of the wrong person, ya ain't stayin' long anyway.) Marisa deadpans in her thoughts. (Ya did beat me in a battle, though, I'll give ya some merit.) <Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku>	(I'll be honest with you, I was considering retreating if that last illusion failed. It was getting to a point where I was starting to think you weren't worth all the trouble. For now, I suppose I'll just keep myself occupied learning about you~ I suppose I'll spare you any potential embarassment and stay as just a voice in your head~) *	Marisa_Kirisame sighs and gives a shrug, seemingly bored of this internal debate. (You better have something interesting for me to know, and you better stay outta my personal thoughts, of you won't be more then dust once you leave my head. We clear? And don't think I won't fight back if you do the total-control thing.) <Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku>	(Oh, given your level of resistance, there is plenty I can't look at in your mind. I did say your secrets were safe, after all~ Just don't actively think about them and you'll be fine~) <Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku>	(If I can't come up with a tidbit of informationt hat satisfies you, perhaps you yourself can ask for something, and I may have an answer for you.) <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Hrmmmmm..." Marisa mutters, annoyed by the fact secrets were hard not to think about when it was pointed out that if she didn't think about them, she wouldn't know them. <Marisa_Kirisame>	(Later then, dealing with you has got me beat, mentally.) Marisa thinks, picking up her broom and going back to what she originally intended. "Now, back to the eternal question of mochi or tayaki?" Marisa wonders aloud. <Tenki_no_Tsukaitsuku>	(I'll leave you to your business then...I need some recovery myself. Talk later~)
