Sunshine glitters through the treetops and there's not a cloud in the sky to be seen. Hinanawi_Tenshi has waited for roughly ten minutes in the open field. Late, but then she just wasn't quite feeling it these past days. She would rather much fly around and cause some random trouble or annoy people, but she begrudgingly acknowledged that she did agree to it, and if she ever did run off she wouldn't see an end to the humilation the witch would be piling up. So she sat, and waited, and steadily she felt boredom creeping in. Maybe she should leave. Let the witch wait in an open field as she did. ) <>Ambiance<>	 There's the soft cry of an ill-omened bird..  <>Ambiance<>	 .. which isn't too uncommon at this time of day or place. Perhaps it's nothing to worry about.  	It's still a bit of time before Marisa Kirisame shows up, streaking across the sky as she swoops down through the center of the field, suddenly putting on the brakes as she comes to a halt along the ground, looking up at Tenshi. She looks just about the same as yesterday, minus her sack. She rides her strangely crystaline broom around, and has a small humanoid doll flittering about around her hat, looking a lot like a common fairy, but is clearly one of Alice's dolls.  *	Marisa_Kirisame waves and grins at the Celestial, not saying anything but a regular greeting, especially to the fact she arrived later then she was supposed to.  	"Peachy Keen! Ya showed up after all!"  *	Hinanawi_Tenshi gave a withering sigh at the witch's arrival, not particularly pleased to see the other, or the nickname that was spoken. 	"You brought spectators, I see," she pointed out dryly. *	Marisa_Kirisame looks around, but doesn't see anyone. "I did?" 	"Unless you've taken up sewing as a hobby, that little thing you have with you looks rather suspicious." *	Hinanawi_Tenshi shook her head, not particularly concenred wiith the matter. If she beat the witch then there was one other person to gloat to. If not, well...she'd never quite considered the possibility of a loss at all. 	"Hm?" Marisa says, pulling the doll out of the air. "Ya mean this? It's actually for buggin' Alice an' Reimu from far away." Marisa responds. As if to make a point, she utters some magic word, followed by saying to the doll, "Ya wanna take a bet on how fast I can kick the celestial's butt, Alice?" <>Ambiance<>	 The doll echoes back, after a slight pause: .. No, I'm not fond of bets. I'm sure it won't be too difficult for you, though. *	Marisa_Kirisame of course grins slyly at the response from the doll. 	At that point she just lets the doll fly up back onto her hat again. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi made no attempt to hide a rolling of the eyes. Ironically enough she found the other's arrogance to be more intolerable than ever. She sure had changed the past months. Just splatter the witch with haste and be off, She told herself dourly. 	"So, I guess ya wanna get the duel started then, ze?" Marisa asks, taking a note of the annoyed expression directed at the witch. "Ya wanna go to a number of hits, or who can hit the most times with a buncha spellcards, or do ya just wanna go until one of us tires out?" *	Hinanawi_Tenshi considered her options slowly. Whichever the fastest, she supposed, "three strikes, three spellcards each. Square hits only." 	"Only three?" Marisa asks. "We just gonna do one each until one of us gets hit, then? 	"Something like that," Tenshi gave a curt nod, "a match with a single life is, after all, more interesting."  	"You got it, then. Best out of three!" Marisa agrees, jumping backwards into the air, flying backwards to seperate some distance between the two. "Gonna be hard to pick which ones I like best, though..." *	Hinanawi_Tenshi cocked her head to one side, rotating her shoulders to warm herself just a little, "take your time; we can begin when you're ready."  <>Ambiance<>	 There's an uncomfortable feeling in the air.. and it looks like someone's watching from the treetops not too far away. But they're shrouded in robes, and their shape is a bit hard to make out.  *	Marisa_Kirisame thinks for a good few moments, before snapping her fingers together. "Got it." she says, taking out her mini-hakkero on one hand, and a small cloth pouch from some random pocket in her dress, and dumping the contents of the pouch into her mini-hakkero, and giving Tenshi her usual mean smile. "I'm ready then." she says, conjuring a flat, rotating square the size of a playing card on the tip of her finger, ready to start the duel. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi cocked her head to one side, rotating her shoulders to warm herself just a little, "take your time; we can begin when you're ready." *	Hinanawi_Tenshi nodded, and began by withdrawing the sword of hisou, stabbing it straight into the ground. 	"Earthquake: Evacuation along the steep path," she intoned, gesturing upward as if beckoning the ground to rise. and indeed it did, for keystone danmaku began steadily rising lazily in a tright lattice. Only a few spots remained passible, if tight, and the passage is hindered by erratic formations of red spheres. A slow and lazy spellcard for a slow and lazy temperament. *	Marisa_Kirisame grins and says, "Well, if you're gonna bring the earth up, I guess I'm gonna have to bring the sky down!" *	Marisa_Kirisame flies higher in the air so she can activate her spellcard before she has to start weaving in between the stones. Raising her mini-hakkero straight up into the air, she yells out the name of her spellcard, "Shooting Star: 「Super Perseid」 !" <>Ambiance<>	 Watching from afar, the figure seems to grow a little curious as the fight begins. There's a moment where their shape blurs, fading swiftly away in a whirl of smoke-- and a shape circles briefly overhead, dipping down from an obscured patch of sky. They come to a stop about seven meters above the highest point of the danmaku field, seated on what appears to be a small cloud. 	Marisa's Mini Hakkero flashes as what appears to be many, many dark magic spheres begin flying upwards out of mini-hakkero, and after enough of them gather high into the air, they begin diving towards the ground one-by-one at high speed towards Tenshi, trailing danmaku in their wake. *	Marisa_Kirisame starts at this point diving towards holes in Tenshi's spellcard, waiting riding upwards with the layer and weaving through red spheres, waiting until the next layer gets high enough where she can repeat the process. <>Ambiance<>	 However, after watching the way the danmaku rises upwards, the figure drifts off to the side, finding the best safe spot to watch from. They're hard to identify like this-- one would have to get a good look at their face to tell, as any other signs seem to be concealed. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi grumbled a little when she realised that taking it easy was not quite ossible. She gained some ground, weaving past the meteor-like spheres with as little movement as she could muster. Her spirits sank just a little when she saw yellow danmaku erupting from the wake of the spheres. There would be two directions she had to lookout for. Of course. *	Marisa_Kirisame wondered if Tenshi was going to do anything else with her spellcard, diving down into another hole between the rising stones. Looking up briefly, she wondered what the stones would do once they went high enough in the air. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi hadn't quite considered what would happen after that. This was after all, a different version of the original she'd decided to toy with. Her answer came when she decided to steadily increase the speed with each tick of the second. Who would make a mistake first? She wondered. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi gave a bemused smile, however, when she realised that Marisa's spellcard was no different than the original of the spellcard she was using. How coincidental. *	Marisa_Kirisame steadily notices the stones begin to speed up. As if to match, the falling spheres steadily began faster, and before long, in pairs, from different angles. the numbers of spheres bubbling about in the sky seemed to be never ending. Perhaps they were just multiplying amongst themselves as they readied their descent. *	Marisa_Kirisame isn't having a terrible amount of difficulty keeping up with Tenshi's card quite yet, diving for holes more and more often. Soon enough she'd have to start constnatly searching for a new crack in the spellcard, but it wasn't quite so frantic for her yet. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi made a slight cringe when she realised the other's spellcard was proceeding much faster than she would have prefered. In and out she weaved past the dark orbs, but despite her getting used to the pattern the increasing speed and density continued to throw her off. Eventually she felt a stray bullet strike her back, punished for not taking the battle as seriously as she should have. 	"Very good," she spoke as she dissipated her own spellcard, though there was only a hint of sincerity in her voice. *	Marisa_Kirisame suddenly seems very briefly confused when all the hazards vanish, but turns to look over at Tenshi in midair with a knowing smile. "Ah, need me to take it a little easier on ya?" she asks, with an edge of boastfullness on her tongue. 	"Do as you will," *	Hinanawi_Tenshi seemed to briefly furrow her eyebrows, no doubt disatisfied with the outcome. But she continued to prepare the next spellcard, and told the other to do the same. 	"Hmph, well, let's see how long ya last with this! Closure Sign 「Big Crunch」! " Marisa calls out, drawing out another spellcard and activating it as her hakkero goes to life again. 	A large number of magic circles draw themselves around Marisa as about half of them form into very large spheres of magic, the other ones left blank. Quickly, they begin to spin around Marisa, trailing a ring of small star danmaku around her, before they start to fan outwards in a spiraling pattern, towards the edge of the battlefield. As the orbs go farther and farther out, the trails of stars start to push away from the center as if by some invisible force. <Nue_Houjuu>	"Big Crunch". Oh, how creative... *	Nue_Houjuu giggles softly, moving back a little more as she watches this first onset of spellcards fade away. *	Nue_Houjuu twirls her sake dish on her fingers, still pondering whether or not to get involved.. perhaps if danmaku fly too close to her, then maybe. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi cringed slightly, feeling a little annoyed at this equally troublesome spellcard. <Hinanawi_Tenshi>	"Keystone: Kaname Funnel," she intoned. At her command keystone danmaku began to shoot out in a straight line, leaving trails of blue spheres that slowly broke apart. At a certain distance they turned to aim straight at the witch, emitting an explosion of different sized red danmaku that moved in a circular fashion of random orientation. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi blinked a little at the result, even as she proceeded to weave past the orbs and their trailing danmaku. It was not quite appealing in pattern, but she admitted it was a slight improvement from the linear feeling of the original. <>Ambiance<>	 But is it supposed to be so dark? The blue spheres that Tenshi initially shot out seem to leave a blackish mist in their wake, mysteriously enough, and it starts to make the battlefield a little obscured. And yet the sun's bright overhead.. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Ah, looks like you're doing the direct attacks this time!" Marisa shouts happily, interested in having something more fun to weave through. She's actually surprised at how complex it turns out to be, when the stones aim at her and explode, even making the field darker so it's harder for her to dodge. In fact, that last trick was a bit more then she thought Tenshi was capable of... <Marisa_Kirisame>	Marisa seems to be stuck in the worst of it so far, but she starts trying to back out once she gets a feel for the range of Tenshi's card. At the same time, the second phase of her spellcard's attack begins, as the orbs reach the edge of the battlefield and begin spinning even more quickly, keeping up their trail to prevent escape, and then beginning to spit a large amount of variously-sized danmaku back towards the center. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi 's approval at her spellcard stopped sharply as the field became fogy with darkness. That was not part of her plan for it made her spellcard no more beautiful. Likewise she highly doubted the witch would incorporate darkness in the light themes she used. *	Nue_Houjuu floats in the air further above, having abandoned her seat for now-- she watches with a bird's eye view, giggling as there seems to be some confusion starting up as she darkens the field. Even better, it's not true darkness, but in fact, smoke, so the light doesn't pierce it so easily.. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi for a moment recalls the appearance of a nasty youkai, and her expression darkened. It had better be some other meddling youkai behind this; she wasn't quite she if she could control herself it it were the case she dreaded. <>Ambiance<>	 An ill-omened bird's cry echoes out. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi nonetheless switched her attention to the battle at hand. First moving through in initial trial of danmaku, then backing up as the orbs moved to trap her inside. The gaps were tight and threatened to close open her, but it was slower than the previous spellcard, and only one direction from whence the attack came from. <Marisa_Kirisame>	All the orbs slowly begin spinning inward as Tenshi dodges. None of the danmaku actually seems to have faded away so far, all either gathered on the outside ring going inwards or in the center of the field, but once the orbs reach the middle of the field again, everything seems to merge into one big ball of danmaku, before suddenly it all emits a big, dazzling flash, not enough to be blinding, before the pattern begins to start up again, this time with a couple more orbs. <>Ambiance<>	 And, slowly, that bird-song changes to laughter. Chirping, teasing laughter. Marisa might find it familiar, beckoning back to that strange first encounter-- but here, it's just amusement over how the field's darkened as it has. <Marisa_Kirisame>	Marisa is actually having a difficult time dodging when she's thick in the mess of the spellcard, trying to get out of the worst of the radius of the card, the darkening making it worse. She's getting more close calls then she's liking, and not making much progress getting farther away. <Marisa_Kirisame>	The call of the 'bird' far away isn't helping her concentrate, especially when it sounds like something familiar she'd rather not deal with. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi breathed a sigh of relief as the spellcard seemed to restart itself, only to twitch slightly at the twisted laughter. She might cease the battle soon; only the prospects of tieing before getting ahold of the culprit stopped her from doing so. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi began the same pattern of dodging the incoming orbs once more, though feeling almost threatened by the latter half of the spellcard that would come. Dense, cage-like, and certainly not merciful. <Marisa_Kirisame>	Marisa seems almost overwhelmed by all the danmaku around her, but as one might expect, it's still quite difficult to get a solid hit on her, as she weaves and flips around between danmaku all over the place, buzzing by her head and arms, and through her hat, and it was slowly getting harder to see the projectiles coming. All the while, the orbs from her spellcard reach the edge, and begin spinning rapidly and spitting more danmaku inwards, slowly collapsing back towards the center once again. <Nue_Houjuu>	Mhmhmheehee.. are we having fun down there? Bird-eyed children, are we? <Hinanawi_Tenshi>	Just get hit already, Tenshi cursed, swinging by the the mess of danmaku that had begun to trap her inward. No doubt, the witch was far more experienced than her, all too used to brute force in her attack. Soon the fog began to affect her vision too, and she realised with some annoyance that she may not see the orbs when they come. *	Nue_Houjuu flies back and forth overhead, her wings and tentacles finally having emerged from where they're comfortably hidden in her robes. <Marisa_Kirisame>	The sound of Nue's voice is what finally causes Marisa to lose her focus enough to get hit square in the chest, causing her to flinch hard backwards and end her spellcard, with a resounding, "Oof!". She has to keep moving so she doesn't take another hit, but she's clearly aware of Nue_Houjuu now, and not too happy about it. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi dropped the spellcard, somewhat relieved that she managed to knock the witch out before her full attack finished. Except her mood was now dampened after confirming the identity of their unwanted guest. <Nue_Houjuu>	Oh? Am I being distracting~? Why are you so distracted? I'm just here to watch, I'm sure you both know that.. *	Marisa_Kirisame shoots a disapproving glare at Nue as she floats upwards a bit closer to her, now that the second 'round' had been over. "I thought that spellcard was going a bit oddly. Interferin' with someone else's match ain't very nice." Marisa says with a hint of annoyance. *	Nue_Houjuu makes a little cackle, whirling around through the smoke and making herself apparent only now and then. She turns to Marisa when the witch comes close to her, eyes narrowing and her mouth drawing into a smirk. <Nue_Houjuu>	Do you think that it "not being nice" is enough to stop me, though? It's not like I'm hurting anyone, you seem so angry.. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"I'm not mad." Marisa corrects, "Maybe ya should wait yer turn though if ya want a piece of me? We're only goin' to three here." <Hinanawi_Tenshi>	"You preach to the choir, black-white," Tenshi averted her gaze, "reason doesn't work here." <Nue_Houjuu>	A "piece of you"...? I could probably do that by tearing at your cheek or arm if I felt like it, aah~ <Nue_Houjuu>	I don't even really want to fight too much~ It's more fun to just cause trouble for others. <Nue_Houjuu>	Unless you do have a death-wish.. <Nue_Houjuu>	Just go on, go on~ It's so much fun to watch you two blindly wander through the dark, kyyiaaaaeehaha! *	Marisa_Kirisame rolls her eyes in annoyance. "It's always killing an' murder with ya. Didn't ya learn your lesson when Reimu sealed ya?" <Nue_Houjuu>	Did I say anything about killing or murder~? And, to be honest.. I'm not so scared of her. <Nue_Houjuu>	Humans are terrifying, horrible creatures, but, ah~ *	Nue_Houjuu zips upwards to avoid a large red clump of danmaku that seems to have lingered. <Nue_Houjuu>	She's not worthy or respectable enough to fear. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi addressed the witch again, thoroughly intent on ignoring the youkai, "you will have to teach a lesson, it seems. Why not bug the shrine maiden or your other friend with that doll of yours?" *	Marisa_Kirisame shrugs. I could, but what's the point? Fighting her will just be more irritating then ignoring her or something." *	Nue_Houjuu seems to have disappeared back into the darkness at this point-- almost as if she was never there in the first place. Perhaps she's still watching, waiting for the fight to continue.  *	Marisa_Kirisame frowns, knowing there's a safe bet she's still around, and that she'll still interfere with the duel.  *	Marisa_Kirisame sighs. "Hmph, I can't even have a fair fight without someone wanting to throw their own little bit in, can I?"  *	Hinanawi_Tenshi shook her head slowly, knowing there is some truth in the witch's words, "if that is the case, then I will cease the duel here and now. Why feed the troll that lurks under the bridge?" <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Well, ending our fun just because there's a troll around only amuses it more."  <Nue_Houjuu>	The witch is quite right~ You're just giving up, celesssstial~  *	Nue_Houjuu speaks from further above, where she watches and drifts back and forth. She can't really be seen, but it's obvious she can see and hear the two.  *	Hinanawi_Tenshi could not help but let out a chuckle, "so it is a loss either way now, is it?"  <Nue_Houjuu>	And what's the fun in that~?  <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Messin' with us isn't a reason to call in the calvary, as annoying as she is, either." Marisa says knowingly. "It'd just be nice if observers would stay just that, for once."  *	Hinanawi_Tenshi gave Marisa_Kirisame a piercing stare for a moment, bearing neither smile or frown. Finally she spoke, her words lacking emotion, but if one paid attention it might seem as if she was simply supressing her rage. <Hinanawi_Tenshi>	"I shall follow through with your words, then." <Hinanawi_Tenshi>	"Bring out your next spellcard, then. I already know what I wish to use." <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Oh oh? I had just the thing to finish off with... something that annoying observers won't easily be able to change." Marisa says with a grin as she backs off to her own corner of the field. <Nue_Houjuu>	Iiiissss that sooooo... ~ <Marisa_Kirisame>	It's quite plainly obvious what Marisa's next spellcard is going to be as soon as she holds her Mini Hakkero forwards and begins charging the spell, magic circles drawing themselves right in front of the device in inceasing numbers and size. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi, too had thought of the same thing, for scarlet energy now seemed to coalesce around the sword of hisou, making it shimmer with a radiant colour. <>Ambiance<>	 In a teasing of exactly what Marisa said, the circles and bright light emitting from the Hakkero become an icy blue color rather than the usual. *	Marisa_Kirisame grins widely. Just the thing she was hoping to test her skill against, recognizing that Tenshi was planning a similar attack. Grinning and showing off her pearly whites, the spell charges quickly enough. She does notice something trying to mess with the color of her normally scintillating magic, and quickly corrects it back to be the rainbow of colors it should be. It's her own magic, and she knows full well what it should look like. <Marisa_Kirisame>	The spell is ready enough to fire once a thin, harmless white beam shoots out from the center of the hakkero, pinpointed right in the center of Hinanawi_Tenshi's abdomen. *	Nue_Houjuu drops down to seat herself on what seems to be a lingering keystone that already detonated its danmaku outwards, neatly crossing her legs as she watches the beginning of this. And, by now, it seems that the smoke is starting to clear up, making it a little easier to see. <Nue_Houjuu>	Tell me~ What happens if someone gets directly hit by that laser? Do they just burn to ash~? <Hinanawi_Tenshi>	"Sky of scarlet perception of all humankind." *	Hinanawi_Tenshi decided now was the time for brute force. Pointing her sword straight at Marisa_Kirisame, the scarlet energy that was stored erupted without warning, into a giant piercing laser that seemed to hurtle at breakneck speed. Who would win, and who would lose? she wondered idly. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Right then! I'll show you what my magic can really do! MASTAAAA' SPARK!!!!" she yells, meeting the beam with a beam of her own as the thin little laser widens into the powerful trademark laser of the black-white witch, colliding with the hot-red beam and attempting to push it back. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi held no restraint in her power, forcing whatever she had in that one blast. The scarlet beam tore through the spark, gradually gaining ground even as it was pushed back. <>Ambiance<>	 As the black smog starts to disappear, what appear to be flower petals rain playfully from the sky above, whirling on the wind like a sudden rainstorm. They sting and jolt as they make any contact, though-- making it clear that they're really just danmaku, probably meant to be a startling distraction. <Marisa_Kirisame>	Marisa seems to have a fire in her eyes as she keeps up the output of her Mini Hakkero's signature beam. Tenshi's red sword was overtaking her magic, but she wasn't going to lose just yet. Ignoring the ambient distractions, she gets to a standing positon on her broom as an invisible wind suddenly blasts against her dress, as the output of the Master Spark seems to double now, as if she were firing two at once. More magic circles, even larger ones, jump in front of the tiny but destructive device. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"...Double Spark." she utters quietly to herself, having upped the ante on her magical power. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi grimaced as she watched her laser slow to a halt at this jump in power. It was still moving, but with each inch it took, it was quickly knocked back to its previous position. It seemed to be a battle of attrition, but the celestial knew that if the witch pushed any harder she may well lose the match. *	Marisa_Kirisame grins with clenched teeth and narrow eyes, with fierce determination as she battles Tenshi's beam. "You had enough yet?!" she yells over the near-deafening roar of the heated war of the beams. <Nue_Houjuu>	Yes, yes, destroy each other in your passionate anger, ahahaha.. Maybe direct it my way if you're so inclined. If you're so reckless and hateful, of course.. *	Nue_Houjuu giggles, twirling one of the many crimson-colored oleander petals between her fingers as she watches this from where she lingers overhead. She can't leave quite yet, oh no, she has to see who wins. <Hinanawi_Tenshi>	"I grow weary of your insistence to survive, just fall!" Tenshi returned with a yell, too concentrated on the fight to care for the stray danmaku or the snide comment. <Marisa_Kirisame>	Marisa's clothing seems to be barely hanging on, flapping with great force as she maintains her position in the air in oppositon to the force of the magical duel, but with another push, she yells, "I won't lose! When it comes to danmaku, it's all about firepower! And when it comes to firepower, I'm second to none!" <Marisa_Kirisame>	An even stronger gust of air nearly tears her hat off her head, as outrageously large magic circles form in front of her Mini Hakkero. "Magicannon... 「Final Spark」!" she yells, as the beam suddenly widens greatly and thrusts out with incredible power, ripping at the enemy beam standing between it and its target. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi gritted her teeth as she struggled to boost her power against the burst of laser. Mantaining it was easy, but it seemed as though her immediate output would lose against the witch. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi only watched in chagrin as she watched her own attack be slowly pushed back, even as it continued to burst with energy. *	Marisa_Kirisame begins to sweat as she maintains the magic on her most powerful attack. In a real battle, she might already be draining all of her reserves, but thankfully it wasn't, and she still had quite the magic pool to spare. Marisa continues to push forward with her incredible laser, her full focus solely directed towards her determination to win the duel. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi 's laser continued to strengthen, but the difference was far too great. The spark cut down each bit of the opposing scarlet beam, and before long the celestial found herself staring at the rainbow coloured laser, just mere metres from her face. It would seem that the duel would end in her defeat, but she still desperately hung on, perhaps in reluctance to be humiliated by a loss. *	Marisa_Kirisame wasn't about to stop now, as she continued the upkeep on her oversized laser, grinning with antagonistic glee as she continued the assualt until its definitive end, no sign of her running out of juice anytime soon. *	Hinanawi_Tenshi was so close. Just a little more and she may have won. But it never happened. The spark struck her down right as her laser pettered out, knocking her aside. A thankful turn of events, for being engulfed in the gush of magic would be a worse fate. <Hinanawi_Tenshi>	"Kuh," Tenshi spat, dispelling her spellcard as a sign of her defeat. *	Marisa_Kirisame quickly ended her onslaught once it was clear she had won. She was smiling from ear to ear as she put away her mini-hakkero and flew back over to the defeated celestial. "About what I expected, heh, but you gave me a good fight." *	Hinanawi_Tenshi doesn't quite respond, iritated by the loss. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Well, are ya just gonna storm back ta' heaven in silence or somethin'?" Marisa asked, not impressed by the lack of response. *	Nue_Houjuu seems to have disappeared, taking the falling danmaku-petals with her. There's no sign of her still lingering, either, as the smoke has faded away. <Hinanawi_Tenshi>	"You've won, i've lost. That is all there is to it." *	Hinanawi_Tenshi stated this simply. Lackluster in emotion, but that the celestial would admit defeat so readily might seem surprising. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Well, I guess it was fun, at least. A nice breather from all those duels where people wanna kill me for whatever reason." Marisa says lightly. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Buncha jerks just seem to think it's fun to ignore spellcard rules." she says with a shrug. "Youkai, I guess." *	Hinanawi_Tenshi shook her head, "youkai will be youkai. Has that ever not been the case?" <Marisa_Kirisame>	"I guess not." Marisa says with a shrug. <Hinanawi_Tenshi>	"Whatever the case...it was a fair duel. Let us meet again someday," *	Hinanawi_Tenshi said this before swiftly leaving for the skies, though her words were merely out of strained courtesy than genuinity. To be dismissive of a battle would only ruin the joy of it, after all. *	Marisa_Kirisame grins and nods, calling back, "Right, anytime ya want, Peach Hat!" with a wave, before taking off in the opposite direction back to Alice's house.
