Marisa_Kirisame flies towards the manor through the forest. She's not on her broom, strangely, as she stops in front of the building in the dead of the night. Marisa_Kirisame sighs, feeling tired, and trudges over to the main door of Eirin's clinic and gives it a few knocks. >Ambiance<:. As Marisa walks across the courtyard and heads towards the clinic, the sight of a few earth rabbits hopping around in their animal form can be observed. They glance at the witch warily, before hurriedly getting out of her way, disappearing into the bamboo thickets that make up the side of the path. >Ambiance<:. A few crickets can be heard chirping, but other than that, Eientei is dead silent at night. The greatest companion for Marisa are her own footsteps her feet come down on the cobblestone. >Ambiance<:. Walking up the stairs and reaching the clinic's gate, the only building that remains lit as of now,a bell magically chimes as she is arrives at the door, signalling that a visitor has come. It doesn't take long before said door is open, and a pair of red eyes look at Marisa. Marisa_Kirisame looks like she's been through quite a fight recently, although it might not be hard to guess with the huge amount of noise and light that could be heard from the village nearby. Her clothing is tattered and torn, mostly holes from danmaku and scrapes with the ground. The most glaring thing, however, is her face. (contin.) Marisa_Kirisame 's left cheek is completely torn open, with a patch of exposed muscle where the skin was torn right off in the middle of the chaos. Covering this injury is a large smearing of some brown goop, mixed heavily with blood. Marisa's left eye is wincing in pain as she greets the eyes with a "Yo." Reisen_Udongein_Inaba is the one that opened the door, and looks a bit tired. Nonetheless, she's curious about who just arrived and what... "suprise"? It wasn't everyday that Reisen caught a glimpse of 'this' woman being in such a state. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba needs a moment to make sure that she just isn't hallucinating from the lack of sleep. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "U-uh... hello Miss Marisa." Marisa_Kirisame:. "Hey there, Reisen-san. Is the doc in? I sorta need ta get this looked at. It really smarts." Reisen_Udongein_Inaba stares at Marisa, trying to comprehend what on earth could have caused such an injury -- but then, there is no time to lose. Does all of this have to do with the sound of explosions? Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "Come in, she's in her office. What in Tsukuyomi's name did you do to get such an injury?" Reisen_Udongein_Inaba asks as she ushers Marisa in and brings her towards Eirin's office. Marisa_Kirisame:. "Got bit by a Nue. Wasn't the easiest fight I've been in." Marisa replies with a shrug. "I still gotta pay her back for it, too. Nasty girl got off with just a few bruises. Won't be so lucky next time, if I got anything ta do with it." Eirin_Yagokoro:. "Oh, the Nue bit you? That must've been... unpleasant." Eirin_Yagokoro says as she opens the door of her office and steps out. It would seem that she was listening in, or was she? Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "Ah, Master, you shouldn't have, I was going to--" Marisa_Kirisame:. "I put some of my special healin' potion on it, but I doubt that alone will do much. It ain't made to cure whatever damage she did. I don't think I wanna look at a mirror to guess." Marisa_Kirisame:. (I feels like she tore my cheek right off, though.) Eirin_Yagokoro makes a quick gesture that Reisen's rather used to. This sort of handwaving usually means: "don't bother yourself anymore and just watch." She then returns the attention to Marisa and listens to the rest of the witch's story. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba merely remains silent and gives a small obedient nod. Eirin_Yagokoro:. "Bends forward to take a look at Marisa's wound. That is indeed a hastily applied, but effective concoction, however, as the witch said, the Nue's wounds require more than that to be treated properly. 	Marisa_Kirisame is surprisingly not looking too much in pain for having her cheek torn off. It's either the potion or the fact this isn't her first fight.  Eirin_Yagokoro:.	"Hmmm. Right, follow me to the lab. Injuries of that kind are most rare since from what we've gathered, whatever is the victim of the Nue's attack, there's little to nothing left of them once it's all over." Eirin_Yagokoro:.	"This will be an interesting case."  	Eirin_Yagokoro says with a very light giggle as she walks down the corridor, bringing Marisa to her lab.  Marisa_Kirisame:.	"Euuugh." Marisa gags, not wanting to imagine that youkai ripping someone up. "Good thing I can put up a fight, then. Is her bite toxic or somethin' doc? Am I gonna turn into a were-nue?" she says, adding a snicker with the last remark. 	Reisen_Udongein_Inaba follows them from behind. She's Eirin's assistant after all, and besides, the lunar rabbit is curious about whatever happened to the village.  Eirin_Yagokoro:.	"Dear me, that would be a frightening idea for one like you to become half-nue."  	Eirin_Yagokoro lets out a small laugh before continuing:  Eirin_Yagokoro:.	"But I don't think so. Or well, we can't be sure, since we're dealing with the unknown here." Eirin_Yagokoro:.	"Udongein. I recall teaching you a few details about that some months ago... why not show me that you've been learning your lessons~?" 	Kikurihime slowly drifts towards the manor hidden amidst the bamboo. Flying horizontally, she almost looks a bit like some strange UFO - that is, if anyone seeing her knew what a UFO looked like.  	Eirin_Yagokoro asks the bunny with a small grin.  Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:.	"U-uh, you mean explaining about... whatever infections from wounds caused by the Nue can inflict?"  	Fujiwara_no_Mokou is on one of her long walks through the forest, finding a peacefulness in it all while looking out for any stragglers that have gotten lost. But she stops and stares as a very strange metal object slowly crosses the path-- lazily so-- and she looks nothing but baffled, eyebrows going up into her hair.  	Reisen_Udongein_Inaba asks with quite the poignant uncertainty. Being tested by her master never was something very fun. Marisa_Kirisame:. "Whatever gets me fixed up, doc." Marisa says, with a shrug. Eirin_Yagokoro:. "What else, Udongein? Oh my, could you be stalling for some time to remember these hazy details?" Fujiwara_no_Mokou:. Wh.. Eirin_Yagokoro responds to udongein with a grin before stopping suddenly and... looking at a wall. A bamboo wall. Kikurihime doesn't seem to be paying attention to the world around her, all that much - instead just slowly continuing on towards the manor. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba stops alongside the group, but this isn't unnatural to her. Rather, she's quickly trying to filter out all of the info that she got concerning the Nue in one of the "teaching" sessions that Eirin had held. It would greatly distress her if she somewhat disappointed her teacher right now so... Eirin_Yagokoro glances at Reisen, amused by how panicked the bunny is, before merely putting her hand against the wall and... Fujiwara_no_Mokou blinks a few times, rubs her eyes, and watches the spectacle a little longer. She's very much used to strange occurances by now, but that's certainly not normal-- she slowly follows after the flying disk. Only after a few seconds does she realize the direction it's going, and her interest is piqued even further. >Ambiance<:. Inside the Manor, as Eirin touches the wall, multiple Lunar-themed glyphs light up and begin radiating with magic. After Eirin speaks in an unknown language, the entire wall reverbrates with some strange blue tint as... the doctor just walks *through* it? Marisa_Kirisame:. "Hmmm? Am I supposed to go through that?" Marisa asks Reisen. Eirin_Yagokoro:. "Come, apologies for the unconventional door, but generally, it's to keep unwanted people from getting in. Not like Eientei gets thieves often~" Eirin_Yagokoro 's voice can be heard speaking from behind the "wall" Reisen_Udongein_Inaba was thinking when Marisa's voice brought her back to her senses. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "A-ah! Yes, this is just an illusion through which you can go through." Reisen_Udongein_Inaba says as she hurriedly goes through the barrier, still thinking about whatever was discussed between her and Eirin about wounds inflicted by the Nue. Kikurihime reaches the manor after a few minutes' casual flying. After a brief pause, she ascends, flying over the wall and approaching the house itself. Marisa_Kirisame goes through the barrier as well, wondering what's on the other side. Marisa_Kirisame also grins a bit at the mention of "thieves", finding it just a little ironic. Kikurihime bumps into the wall of the house, coming to a stop for a brief moment. Fujiwara_no_Mokou follows the flying disk into the clearing that Eientei inhabits, watching it still with curiosity, and then looking around for any noticable staff. Then she stops, floating up into the air and just relaxing, chuckling as she watches the disk go. Kikurihime moves away from the wall, starting to spin like a buzzsaw. After putting a few meters between herself and the wall, she suddenly shoots forward, crashing through the wall and disappearing inside. >Ambiance<:. A loud crash can be heard as Kikuri makes her destructive entrance into Eientei. The place's princess seems to be undisturbed by such a loud noise, and there is no sight of her. Eientei isn't like any normal house though, and once an intruder crashes in... >Ambiance<:. ... the local security will be quickly called into action. >Ambiance<:. A siren goes off inside Eirin's lab, signalling that there's something abnormal going on at the manor. Fujiwara_no_Mokou just sits and watches, laughing to herself occasionally. She doesn't seem to really have too much of the intent of getting involved, though.. Marisa_Kirisame:. "Eh? I didn't take anything, I swear!" Marisa whines at the noise. Kikurihime proceeds randomly through the house, her intended destination not quite clear. Due to her spinning, she occasionally carves deep gashes into the walls, or destroys the occasional piece of furniture; not that she seems to notice. >Ambiance<:. The Lunarians aren't the only ones to be aware of such a disturbance though, the local earth rabbits perk up too when the alarm goes off, some of them standing on their hind legs to look around for the troublemaker, others taking on their humanoid form. >Ambiance<:. As Kikuri goes into the Manor though... she isn't from this place -- she isn't supposed to find her way. The halls of Eientei are filled with Lunarian Magic, seeming ever so small from outside, but the insides of the building sprawl in a more complicated and complex way than a thousand labyrinths of Minos... >Ambiance<:. What seems to be the final turn is in fact, nothing more than the beginning. Even breaking through walls seems to bring the disk nowhere withing these vast, repeating halls that are mostly devoid of furnitures. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba in the meanwhile, was still so much in panic concerning that fact that she couldn't properly recall Eirin's lesson. It all caused her to... just jump up in utter surprise and let out a small yelt as the alarm blares behind her back. Her sensitive ears weren't spared any pain... Kikurihime doesn't even seem aware of what she's doing, occasionally crashing or carving through one wall, or bouncing off another. It's quite clear that the longer she's inside, the more damage she's going to end up causing. Eirin_Yagokoro looks up, the expression on her visage going from somewhat amused and carefree to one hinting a slight presence of annoyance. Still, she doesn't seem to be too worried. Fujiwara_no_Mokou just grins, listening to the chaos from within the mansion. After a second, she raises her voice. Eirin_Yagokoro:. "I know. You'd be turned to ashes if you tried to steal anything without my permission." Fujiwara_no_Mokou:. You might want to do something about that instead of just stand around, you stupid moon-folk! Eirin_Yagokoro:. "Udongein, rather than acting all scared there, hurry up and go see who is making such a ruckus in the Manor. We wouldn't want the Princess's peace to be disturbed." Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "A-Alright!" Reisen_Udongein_Inaba immediately acknowledges Eirin's orders and storms off to see who could be causing trouble at such a time. Was this related to the village mess? Reisen_Udongein_Inaba dashes out of the clinic and was about to head to the Manor, only to get a sight of Mokou and hear her taunt... Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "Excuse me, but that is rather rude of you, Fujiwara No Mokou." Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "Now... are you in league with whoever is causing this mess inside the manor?" Fujiwara_no_Mokou:. Eh? No, I'm not. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba asks warily. Right now, there was only one thing on her mind -- protect her masters and keep Eientei a safe place. Fujiwara_no_Mokou shakes her head, shrugging. Fujiwara_no_Mokou:. THey just sort of showed up. I was walking in the forest, and then some metal disk just.. flies by. Kikurihime seems to have gotten somewhat stuck in one particular room, simply bouncing back and forth between two walls. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba raises an eyebrow as Mokou explains herself. What she just said made no sense, or maybe it did, but -- was Mokou talking about an Unidentified Flying Object? These silly myths of the outside world? They were just that, Myths, but... Reisen_Udongein_Inaba was not only pondering Mokou's words, but at the same time, she was scanning the manor with her manipulation of soundwaves to form a pseudo-sonar. There was indeed someone which was wrecking the house. Quite a bit of the place inside had already been... "rennovated". Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "Argh, I'll talk with you later, that "thing" is tearing the manor apart! Fujiwara_no_Mokou:.	Yes, it is, and it's rather funny, if you ask me.  	Reisen_Udongein_Inaba says to Mokou before hurriedly bringing her attention back to the manor and rusing inside it. She wouldn't even need to use her sonar-like ability to find the intruder, since there was path of destruction that had been left in their wake...  Marisa_Kirisame:.	"So am I gonna get patched up or do ya' want me to help deal with whatever's making a fuss?"  	Reisen_Udongein_Inaba frowns as she runs after Kikuri. Unlike the "disc" though, the Lunar Rabbit wasn't one to be easily affected by the magics which enchanted Eientei's corridor.  Eirin_Yagokoro:.	"Oh, I'll tend to you. It would be extremely rude to leave you waiting. Udongein should be able to take care of its, from the looks of it, it's only one person intruding." Eirin_Yagokoro:.	"Besides, I wouldn't want you to suddenly mutate into something horrible while I wasn't looking."  	Eirin_Yagokoro snickers.  	Eirin_Yagokoro walks to one of the corners of this "secret" room in which she's brought Marisa. The walls are pure white, and... the room is pure too. There's nothing at all, it's all an endless pattern of immaculate tiles. A strange lab, doubtlessly...  >Ambiance<:.	Everything is cubic. There tiles are square, and the room in itself is shaped like a cube.  Marisa_Kirisame:.	(this place is awful empty for a lab...)  	Reisen_Udongein_Inaba has been following all the damage that Kikuri's done to find her, and it isn't long before she finds this... "thing" bouncing between the house's walls. The immortal wasn't lying: this really is a metal disk, maybe a youkai born out of fears of UFOs? Kikurihime bounces off one wall at a slight angle, careening across the room and almost hitting Reisen, only to stop a few inches away, still spinning at great speed for several seconds, before coming to a sudden halt and just floating there, slowly bobbing up and down. Marisa_Kirisame:. "I woulda expected a moon lab to have more... hmmm.. neat stuff ta look at." Reisen_Udongein_Inaba has trouble believing what's in front of her, but... sees all the damage that it's doing and decides to-- she was about to shoot Kikuri, but the suddent change in trajectory had her suddenly croush to avoid getting hit in the face. Doing a sommersault, she readies herself for another pass from that disk, but it seems to have calmed down. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "W-what are you?" Reisen_Udongein_Inaba asks as she looks at this disc. Is that the engraving of a woman? Kikurihime slowly rotates to a more vertical position, revealing the image of a woman embossed on its surface. After a few seconds, this carving seemingly opens its eyes, which glow faintly, and looks at Reisen. Kikurihime:. I could ask you the same... where am I? Eirin_Yagokoro pushes one of the tiles much like how she had done with the wall before -- the white square comes out in a drawer-like fashion, and Eirin takes some vials from it. As she's done, she turns to face Marisa and merely does a gesture... and as if the room was sentient, the tiles next to Marisa move and unfold into... a hospital bed? >Ambiance<:. It is all realy mesmerizing. Square upon square multiplies, as if the geometric figures are endless. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba on her side is puzzled by whoever that thing might be, but then recalls that it's also been wrecking the house without any purpose. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "This is Eientei Manor, and you've been particularly destructive to it." Kikurihime:. Oh dear - aha-haha - so I have. It seems I've been sleepwalking again~ Reisen_Udongein_Inaba motions to the neary hole in the wall with a most displeased grimmace. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "That's... sleepwalking?" Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "You'd have to impact these walls with quite a lot of power to do that much damage. What kind of sleepwalking is that?!" Marisa_Kirisame:. "Uh, I guess you want me to lie down on this?" Marisa says, climbing onto the bed of sorts. Kikurihime:. Well, it's not as if I'd feel any of it - ehe. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba believes that this might be another one of these silly troublemakers who come up with the lamest of excuses. But then, perhaps that her train of thought was invalid, because she was talking to a floating disk. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "..." Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "So you ran into the manor just like that? I've never seen you around before... what are you?" Kikurihime:. That's a very good question. I suppose... it wouldn't be wrong to call me a kami, at least. Fujiwara_no_Mokou seems almost a bit confused when the chaos and debris and sounds of things crashing over suddenly all comes to a halt-- and, out of curiosity, she starts to approach the manor. She's really not all that bothered by the fact that she's not super welcome there.. Eirin_Yagokoro nods as she brings the vials and other metal "tools" in her hands, putting them on the side before taking a seat and inspecting Marisa's wound. It has begun to swerve with some strange black goo... Kikurihime seems to find this funny, chuckling to herself and bobbing up and down. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "You're a Kami?" Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "That's... I've never seen a Kami like you since we've arrived... where are you from?" Kikurihime:. Hell. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "... Hell?" Kikurihime:. That is what I said - ehehe - isn't it? Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "I, uh, don't exactly know why or how you went from hell to here, but could you perhaps please do something about all this damage you've done? It's not going to... repair itself like that." Kikurihime:. Well, of course it isn't. That would be... odd. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba doesn't really know what to tell this floating disc other than that. Why would she even be bothered about the circumstances at any rate? This person wrecked her Master's house, and that was the main importance here. Kikurihime slowly turns around, as if to survey the damage. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba nods at Kikuri's answer, although she's not sure if the disc has really understood what she's trying to convey. Marisa_Kirisame tries to look down at whatever is down there, but can't see her own cheek, and mostly just murmurs about how it stings. Eirin_Yagokoro is done analyzing the wound and grabs what looks like a delicate tweezer in one hand, and some strange liquid inside a dropper. Kikurihime:. Doesn't seem - mmmhahaha - fair that I'd have to repair it, though, seeing as it was an... accident. Eirin_Yagokoro:. "Stay still. You wouldn't want these to go through whatever is left of your cheeks, I believe?" Eirin_Yagokoro tells Marisa, but doesn't seem to wait for the witch's answer. The doctor somewhat expected the witch to be able to take this light sting, since well, she /was/ Marisa Kirisame. Eirin_Yagokoro:. "But coming back to what Udongein was going to say, although I believe that I might have to correct her later since it seems she's forgotten the information for the greater part--" Eirin_Yagokoro:. "-- you are very well aware of what the Nue represents, right?" Eirin_Yagokoro asks as she begins her work on Marisa's wound. Apparently, she's removing some sort of strange film on top of the wound, perhaps Marisa's own medication? She has to get into direct contact with the wound after all. Marisa_Kirisame:. "Mmmhmm" Marisa hums without moving her mouth, which she'd rather avoid at the moment, Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "If we add the concept she represents to your wound, we get what we call "An unknown wound". A very interesting thing to say the least, because just like the Nue, that wound has no definite identity. Is it healed? Is it still open? What viruses have contaminted the injury? How old is it?" Marisa_Kirisame:. (Good thing I went over here, would would be rather annoying if I died from some ridiculous disease.) Eirin_Yagokoro:. "If we add the concept she represents to your wound, we get what we call "An unknown wound". A very interesting thing to say the least, because just like the Nue, that wound has no definite identity. Is it healed? Is it still open? What viruses have contaminted the injury? How old is it?" Eirin_Yagokoro:. "When you don't know what a wound is, not even the state in which it is, the mere prospect of tending to it becomes impossible." Marisa_Kirisame makes an annoyed-sounding murmur. Eirin_Yagokoro continues her exposition as she works on Marisa's wound. By now, there's nothing left between the doctor and the wound now -- only the air inbetween. Eirin has a somewhat eerie smile as she grabs some cotton, and what looks like overly-decorated golden plasters. Eirin_Yagokoro then takes another strange lotion and uses the dropper to put some of it onto the wound. The blackness on Marisa's cheek reacts to the liquid by making a strange fizzling noise. Marisa should feel as if something's burning... Eirin_Yagokoro:. "So to tackle this problem, we'll use the simplest of solutions when faced with a lack of definition -- we'll give it one." Marisa_Kirisame:. "Ffffffffff...." Marisa says, wincing. Eirin_Yagokoro:. "Of course, not everyone knows how to do this, but I think that I've explained enough of this little game here~" Eirin_Yagokoro:. "Now, be a good girl and wait a bit more." Eirin_Yagokoro:. "I should mention that you're actually the first one to come here with a wound from the Nue... while still being alive. Well, I did somewhat indirectly refer to that earlier, but...~"" 	Eirin_Yagokoro observes the wound's reaction. It would apear that the black goo's receding was but momentary. The nature of the wound has changed perhaps? My, this was going to take a while.  	Reisen_Udongein_Inaba in the meanwhile is... still stuck with Kikuri, and quite the daring response has the disck-kami-girl made.  Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:.	"Accident or not, you should take responsability!"  	Reisen_Udongein_Inaba declares sternly.  Kikurihime:.	Bold words. And what will you do if I refuse?  	Marisa_Kirisame looks like she wants to say something that isn't an incomprehensible grunt, but otherwise seems unimpressed.  Marisa_Kirisame:.	((Aside from the pain))  Marisa_Kirisame:.	(Really now. I'm just an ordinary magician though.) Reisen_Udongein_Inaba is a little bit shocked and angered by such an unpolite question. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "I... I will make sure that you do it!" Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "I mean, it's REALLY not normal to barge into someone's house and wreck it, even if you're unconscious!" Kikurihime:. Again, those are very... bold words... aha-hahaha-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - ahem. Normal... perhaps not, but it wasn't as if I really did anything~ Eirin_Yagokoro:. " *This* isn't anything? " Kikurihime begins to glow softly, a gentle golden light filling the room and spilling into the corridor beyond, where it seemingly continues to spread throughout the mansion. At the same time she begins spinning again, floating to the middle of the room and picking up speed. Eirin_Yagokoro:. "H-hey! Listen when people speak to you!" Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. " *This* isn't anything? " Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "H-hey! Listen when people speak to you!" Kikurihime moves quite suddenly, shooting straight upwards, smashing through the ceiling, and whatever lies beyond, simply carving a direct line through the manor until she tears through the roof and emerges into the cool night air. >Ambiance<:. The same light as before spills over the manor grounds, bathing everything in a soft, directionless glow. High above, Kikuri shines brightly enough to completely outshine the moon, taking its place in the sky. Kikurihime comes to a halt, before emerging partway from the disc containing her, albeit remaining attached to it at the waist, hanging forward limply for a moment, before suddenly twitching and looking around. Kikurihime:. Although, to be... ehehe... fair... this couldn't have been helped. Kikurihime shakes her hands free of her long sleeves, and begins waving them in strange patterns, the light spreading across the manor grounds shifting, becoming a little brighter around the structure itself. Fujiwara_no_Mokou almost seems to have dozed off amidst all of the shenanigans, showing that she's probably been working quite a bit hard as of late, but she comes to a startling surprise when the roof cracks. She nearly falls over herself, looking to and fro, before watching thestrange light that's taken over everything. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba was going to shout and order the disc to stop, but then, maybe that she was expecting a little bit too much politeness and common sense from this... UFO thing. >Ambiance<:. The hole in the roof below seems to start closing up. It looks almost as if the structure is decaying, but in reverse. Something similar soon begins to happen to the rest of the damage the manor suffered, but this does nothing to clean up the wreckage - serving only to undo the damage. Kikurihime ceases her strange motions, the light shining from her starting to fade, allowing her to survey the results of her work. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba harbors an abhored expression as Kikuri goes on and breaks throught the ceiling. Somehow, she manages to punch through the magic of eternity and the instant which holds the corridors down in a never-ending maze-like way, but then, Kaguya was probably asleep... Reisen_Udongein_Inaba was about to fly after Kikuri, but the reparations cause her to stop again, and she observes as everything is being fixed... relief or even more curiosity? What should be the bunny's priority? In the end... Reisen_Udongein_Inaba thought that giving a simple explanation: "A disc flew into the manor, made holes, and repaired them" wouldn't satisfy her Master. Oh no it wouldn't. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba:. "I-I have to catch that disk kami whatever!" Reisen_Udongein_Inaba dashes once again outside. The white earth rabbits merely watch as she goes by again, some commenting that "it's a rowdy evening". Kikurihime turns and begins floating off, chuckling to herself for some strange reason. Kikurihime is now known as Kikurin|Awayness Reisen_Udongein_Inaba arrives outside only when... they're all gone. She had to stop a few times to tell the other bunnies about what had happened, and tried to get them mobilized, but since Reisen wasn't the Earth Rabbits leader... Reisen_Udongein_Inaba sighs as she fails to pick up Kikuri, even when tuning through her sonar-like vision. Eirin_Yagokoro is... still trying out various different liquids which all come from the same pack. They're in truths, different' "identity" pickers which are supposed to "define" Marisa's wound, however, just like how in machinery, there are cogs, the situation here must align perfectly for the medicine to work. It's a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack, but well, Eirin at least knows what she's doing here. Eirin_Yagokoro is after all, the Brain of the Moon. Marisa_Kirisame makes various winces and grunts as Eirin continues to work on her. Some painkiller, at least, would be nice. Eirin_Yagokoro is now at the twelfth try. While it all seems simple, the doctor has to properly eye every movement within the wound and gauge various untold signs which hint at "what" the wound currently is, something which only a pair of eyes having millenas of experience can do. Eirin_Yagokoro suddenly nods to herself as the black substance gives off an unprecedented reactions -- it begins to turn into whatever should normally be on a human's cheek -- flesh. Eirin_Yagokoro:. "Ah, there we go." Marisa_Kirisame is looking quite tired at this point, perhaps a bit disoriented as well, as the blood loss and the energy expended from the previous fight are starting to get to her. Marisa_Kirisame is mostly kept from falling asleep from the stinging pain, although it looks like she'd quite like to fall asleep at this point regardless >Ambiance<:. The "disease" that Nue inflicted on Marisa's cheek is becoming milder. The black, unidentifiable ichor is returning into normal flesh and blood once again, but it is far from being totally gone. This isn't going to heal in one go. Eirin_Yagokoro:. "Mmm. This is going to take some time. It does appear though as if you've reached the end of the road on your end..." Eirin_Yagokoro says as she merely watches on Marisa's struggle to stay awake, a small grin on her lips. Marisa_Kirisame:. "Muhhh..." Marisa says, moving her mouth slightly in the process. Her experession is pretty neutral, if unamused. Eirin_Yagokoro:. "My, how cute. The all energetic and lively witch falling asleep. I wonder what would that puppeteer friend of yours say if she saw that?" Eirin_Yagokoro continues teasingly as she begins to apply the strange cotton and plasters on Marisa's wound. Eirin_Yagokoro makes sure that they're well fastened onto Marisa's cheek before sitting back on the reclining chair and thinking a bit to herself. Marisa_Kirisame seems to wake up a bit more at this remark, grunting in protest. Reisen_Udongein_Inaba is now known as Gengetsu Eirin_Yagokoro:. "Dear me, don't move your muscles too much. The wound still has to be actually fixed, now that's it's slowly losing its status as something unidentifiable." Eirin_Yagokoro:. "Maybe I should give you one of these pills that the Puppeteer buys. They're rather pleasant you know?" Marisa_Kirisame:. "Hmm?" Marisa hums questioningly Marisa_Kirisame:. (Alice buys pills?) Eirin_Yagokoro:. "Maybe. I thought that you'd know since you two were friends but..." Eirin_Yagokoro giggles. Eirin_Yagokoro:. "Maybe you should go ask her yourself once you're better. I wonder what she'll say if she sees you like that." Marisa_Kirisame:. "Hmrrmmhrrmrrr" Marisa murmurs without moving. She raises one of her hands to make a gesture with her hand like she's holding a very small object between her thumb and index finger. Marisa_Kirisame:. (What about the damn pills?) Eirin_Yagokoro looks at Marisa, the light smile she's put on since they've entered the room ever present. Eirin_Yagokoro:. "Disclosing information about my other clients would be breaking my work ethics, Miss Kirisame. I'm afraid that as I said, you'll have to go ask her yourself." Marisa_Kirisame:. "Hrmmmmm..." Marisa hums, annoyed. Marisa_Kirisame:. (Why did ya tell me then if ya aren't gonna give me one? Dang it, this is torture.) Eirin_Yagokoro:. "Now now... it appears that there's not much left to do but wait. Marisa_Kirisame:.	"Hm?"  Marisa_Kirisame:.	(Wait for what?)  	Eirin_Yagokoro makes some room so that Marisa may get off from the bed, pushing aside her high-stool and stowing away the various medicine.  Eirin_Yagokoro:.	"You may move and stand up now, even, try to speak if you're daring."  Eirin_Yagokoro:.	"I've applied proper medication on your wound, so it should vanish in the next hour or so, but the rest of your visage will still remain scarred. After all, I've only caused the mess that was there to become an actual normal wound."" Eirin_Yagokoro:. "If you feel like furthering the treatment, come back tommorrow. Or if you can handle that kind of wound yourself... well, seeing that I've removed the worse, you're free to try."" Eirin_Yagokoro:.	"Although in the end, all the options might end up with you coming back here."  	Eirin_Yagokoro snickers.  	Marisa_Kirisame gets up off the bed, and tries moving her jaw around a bit before saying anything else  	Marisa_Kirisame is satisfied it doesn't hurt too bad for a wound of that caliber, and says "Well it still smarts, but not as bad. Is there at least any more face on it then there was when I came in?" Eirin_Yagokoro:.	"I applied a little bit of some special ingredient of mine in there that at least gave you some flesh to cover up the mess in the cheek, however..."  	Eirin_Yagokoro seems to take out a small mirror out of one of her pockets and opens it, showing Marisa her own image. Her wound is mostly covered by bandages, so there's not a lot observable.  Eirin_Yagokoro:.	"Below that is a bunch of muscles, and a very thing layer of skin."  Eirin_Yagokoro:.	"You might want to let my experimental stuff settle down before I continue, hence why I suggested that you come back tommorrow. Getting further complications because of rushing matters would be most saddening, don't you think?" 	Eirin_Yagokoro grins.  Eirin_Yagokoro:.	(I'm also merely using her as a testbed, but well, that can double as her payment I suppose.)  	Marisa_Kirisame looks in the mirror and grimaces at how big the wound is. "Eh, might as well. Not much harm in that, unless someone makes a mess tomorrow." Marisa seems to agree Marisa_Kirisame:.	"My stuff is only really a quick-fix anyway, healing magic isn't my best subject, heh."  Eirin_Yagokoro:.	"Better focus on what you do for now dear witch rather than adding some other subject which could lead you astray from your purposes."  	Eirin_Yagokoro comments with a tone that seems for the greater part friendly, but has an ever faint trace of sarcasm in it.  Marisa_Kirisame:.	"Gotta know at least a little, or else I can't work on my elixir of immortality... you wouldn't happen to have any tips on that, would ya?"  	Marisa_Kirisame manages a bit of a grin, despite the wound.  Eirin_Yagokoro:.	"The Elixir you ask?"  	Eirin_Yagokoro lets out a somewhat eerie laugh. It's low, and rather dry.  Eirin_Yagokoro:.	"The only hint I can give you is to not seek it, but then, knowing Marisa Kirisame, it would be quite the useless one." Marisa_Kirisame:. "Eh? What's so funny? I can't compete with Alice an Patch' if I'm old." Marisa explains. "I'm not lookin for one that'll keep me from dyin' for good, if I get beat by a youkai, they at least deserve somethin' for their troubles." Marisa_Kirisame:. (Not that I'd be keen on lettin' it happen) Marisa_Kirisame:. "I've been workin' on one for awhile now..." Marisa says, looking up and trying to remember her last few results. "Last few batches were too big to drink, or too dangerous..." Eirin_Yagokoro raises an eyebrow Eirin_Yagokoro:. "I would merely advice you to enjoy your humanity and keep it with you." Eirin_Yagokoro:. "I only help people keep in line with their natural life expectancy." Eirin_Yagokoro:. "Extending it to beyond the norms, I'm afraid that once again, following work ethics, I can't really do that." Marisa_Kirisame shrugs. "Fair enough." Eirin_Yagokoro:. (It'd be counterproductive to my business as well. Although is this even a business? I'm not even sure myself at times.) Eirin_Yagokoro is lost for a small moment of self-contemplation, thinking to herself, before she remembers that Marisa is still here, and they should leave this place. Marisa_Kirisame:. (I wasn't askin' for handouts, but she isn't a magician, maybe she wouldn't get it.) Marisa_Kirisame:. "Well, guess I'll see ya tomorrow. Mind showin' how to get outta here?" Marisa says, looking around at all the blank walls. Eirin_Yagokoro quickly gives a quick clap of her hands, and the gate that leads back to the clinic opens as one of the walls folds out open. Marisa_Kirisame:. "Heh, thanks, doc." Marisa says, making her way out. Marisa_Kirisame:. (I wonder where I left my broom...) Marisa thinks to herself as she walks back outside, the night still as dark as ever. Eirin_Yagokoro watches as Marisa walks out, not even paying. Well, as expected of a thieving witch. Eirin_Yagokoro has gotten her payment though -- she got to test a bit of medicine on the little girl, without even telling her. At any rate, tommorrow will be when she'll be seeing wherever or not Marisa will be suitable for proper payment. Eirin_Yagokoro seems to speak to herself as she reaches the clinic door, looking on as Marisa makes her way out: Eirin_Yagokoro:. "Everything that has a beginning has an end. How do you remove the end, I wonder? Perhaps by erasing the beginning itself..." Marisa_Kirisame yawns as she flies up on her own power (not that the broom was magical anyway), putting the worries of trivial things in the back of her mind. She could really use some sleep. Eirin_Yagokoro wonders if the witch heard her obscure hint. What did she have to gain at any rate in helping this witch work with an elixir of immortality that probably wouldn't even be able to reach the heel of the original's power? Perhaps just some entertainment." 	Eirin_Yagokoro smiles to herself as Marisa vanishes over the Bamboo thickets and heads back home.
