	She flies back across the town, high in the night sky. In fact, high enough to see the ocean from here. "Whoooooa... I see a huge body of water down south." <>Ambiance<>	 ''Oh? That's probably the ocean.'' <>Ambiance<>	 ''The very southernmost tip of Yamanashi prefecture is fairly close to the water, so.. yes, that's probably what you're seeing. There should also be a much larger city south of where you are, surrounded by mountains..'' 	"Huh. I think I'll be content with getting this weird technology in my hands and at home, he he. The outside world I've found is really complex, much more so then like someone like me to handle. And everything costs money! And no youkai to fight! At least, that I've seen." *	Marisa_Kirisame doesn't take more then a couple minutes to fly across the city, as opposed to walking. She quickly finds somewhere secluded again to land, heading for the same shopping district as before. <>Ambiance<>	 And that's why they call Gensoukyou a paradise, even if you're bound to get killed and eaten here instead of robbed, you know? <>Ambiance<>	 The shopping district hasn't changed much. The game store is still open, as is the coffee shop and one of the clothing stores, as well as the gas station. *	Marisa_Kirisame makes her way back to the game store, pulling off her hat and shoving her arm in it, pulling out one of the solar panels, still packaged. She'd need to figure it out, of course. <>Ambiance<>	 The game store hasn't changed much, either, despite there being a few less people in there. The shopkeeper glances over when Marisa walks in, silently steeling himself for another barrage of confusing questions. 	"Yo. I got a solar panel from that hardware store. You think it'll work on that game thing?" she says as she approaches the counter again, showing him the device. 	 Oh.. that was fast. I'm not sure why you're asking me and not the professionals at the hardware store, but if you could find a way to wire it up to a socket, I'm sure you could. 	"Huh? You mean I- hold on, you're the expert here, why don't you look at it?" Marisa says with a surprise and annoyance, handing him the strange device somehow capable of turning light into this power. 	 I'm not an electronics expert, customer-san. I just work here and help sell video games. 	 There should be instructions inside that, though. All you need to do is open it up and read, it's.. not that hard. Now, do you need something? 	"Your games run on stuff like this, though." Marisa complains. "If I figure out how this works, I'm gonna make you sell me one of those game machines." 	 Yes, they do, and I can do that. There are many games over on the shelves there, and I have the DSes behind the glass here, so you just need to tell me what color you want. <>Ambiance<>	 ''Marisa, you can't seriously.. you did what you did just for the sake of charging machinery to play games. Sometimes I wonder about your priorities.'' <>Ambiance<>	 Alice makes sure to skirt around the matter of stealing, because she's quite aware she's audible. 	"Right, let me open this up, then." Marisa says, standing off to the side and eagerly ripping open the package on the solar panel. Maybe if she could show the guy the object proper, he would know more? "Learnin' about this stuff could help me. I saw a bunch of boxes with interesting stuff on them, maybe they could help in my research." 	 No, customer-san, please don't open things up in here! You can open that up and figure it out when you get home. Please, don't make a mess, just find a game you want to buy with your DS! 	"You sure I can get one of those workin with this, then?" Marisa asks. <>Ambiance<>	 It sounds like there's.. giggling on the other end of the doll. Marisa, I did tell you to get back home as soon as you can... 	 Yes, the charger for the DS should plug into the socket just fine, if that comes with a socket.. 	"Well you better hope it does." Marisa retorts, stuffing the half-opened solar panel back into her hat, and snuggly putting it back on her head. "What colors of, uh, 'DS' do you have? 	 Um, yes. They come in white, black, black-and-red, purple, blue.. I think those are all the models you have. But you need a game to play on your DS, see, it doesn't come with any pre-installed.  	"What do you recommend then?" she asks  <Shopkeeper>	 Well, the Pokemon games are always popular, and Black 2 and White 2 came out recently.. there's the Kirby games, I've loved those ever since I was a kid. And these DSes can play Game Boy Advance games, too, so you could always pick up Mother 3 or a Fire Emblem game..  <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Oh... and the games for this device are..." Marisa says, looking around. "Oh, there." she says, looking into the big racks with the proper label and a picture of the system. Easy enough.  <Shopkeeper>	 Yes. They're anywhere from 3000 to 4500 yen for new ones. The DS system itself is.. well, the ones you were interested in are about 20000 yen each. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"That's not much" Marisa says, looking through the selection. 'Pocket Monsters' sounded interesting enough. She looked through the racks and found that, looking at each box, and oohed and aahed at a bunch of the prominently displayed ones depicting magic, like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy and Lost Magic. She picks up four or give games, and places them on the counter. "I'll take all of these and a black game machine." she says proudly. <Shopkeeper>	 Um.. okay. Let's see here.. that'd be.. about 32554 yen, after tax. Yes. <>Ambiance<>	 After taking everything neatly, the shopkeeper turns, takes a boxed black DS lite out of the sliding window, and sets it beside the games, waiting for the money. <Marisa_Kirisame>	Marisa is ready to balk about tax, but she shrugs, having about 10 times that amount of cash on hand easily. In fact, she takes her fat coint purse out from under her dress and starts digging out coins and bills to pay with. "Right... I have plenty of money, so that shouldn't be a problem." she says as she starts placing handfulls of money on the counter and counting it. Of course, if anyone bothered to look at this money, it was really old. <>Ambiance<>	 After staring for a few minutes at the particularly ancient money, taking it up and certifying that it's real, the shopkeeper can't help but raise an eyebrow, but he doesn't argue. <Shopkeeper>	 Is all of your money over a hundred years old? <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Amish custom." Marisa lies without looking up, having counted a sufficient amount of money to pay, about 33300 yen. "Right then, that should be enough." <Shopkeeper>	 Y-yes, of course. Thank you. <>Ambiance<>	 He quickly bags everything up, handing the plastic bag over to Marisa and bowing his head. <Shopkeeper>	 You have a nice day, customer-san.. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"No problem." Marisa says, taking off her hat and dropping the bag inside. It makes a brief rustle of plastic, but then goes silent, as Marisa places the hat back on her head. <Shopkeeper>	 ... What.. how did you.. <>Ambiance<>	 He seems utterly baffled. Somewhere, back in Gensoukyou, a bag clatters loudly to the ground, making Alice jump a little. She immediately goes over to investigate the bag, mouthing silently what on earth is all this nonsense? <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Thanks for the stuff!" Marisa says with a grin, before heading back for the door and leaving. She turns down the street, heading for the nearest alleyway. <Shopkeeper>	 Um.. y-yeah, goodbye.. <>Ambiance<>	 ''Marisa, did you seriously buy all of this game stuff? You're crazy, you know that?'' She's laughing, though. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Well, it's not like I have better things to spend my money on." Marisa reasons as she turns down an alleyway and makes herself alone again. <>Ambiance<>	 ''Clothes, or food, or books, or.. ... well, you do tend to steal a lot of what you need.. sigh. Well, be careful on your way back. Don't agitate those airships..'' <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Besides, a bunch of it is supposed to have magic in it. Maybe they learned some after all?" <Marisa_Kirisame>	Marisa flies back upwards into the night sky as she gets to the end of the alleyway, before turning and heading back north for Gensoukyou. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Food is pretty cheap, I get paid more then I can spend on food. You can make clothes easily enough, although I did ask a tailor to make me a new dress. Books aren't worth buyin, and the ones that are aren't for sale." <>Ambiance<>	 And, once again, it's all quite bizarre how that vertical UFO strikes again. Surely there will be reported sightings tomorrow! But at this point, there's not much more to concern about, as Marisa's too high up to be discerned from a bird. <>Ambiance<>	 ''Well.. I guess that is true..'' <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Right then, time for the Gensoukyou Express." Marisa says, pulling out her mini-hakkero and chanting the very familiar spell. <>Ambiance<>	 ''W-wait, you're doing a Master Spark? Everyone's going to see that, you know!'' <Marisa_Kirisame>	"I'm so high up, though! Who's gonna see me? What will they care?" <>Ambiance<>	 They'll see the spark, and sudden explosions of rainbow lasers is not a normal occurance in any weather patterns I know of. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"I'll look like a blazing comet from this high up. Why else would I name the spell like that?" <>Ambiance<>	 ''I don't think it's that high up enough.. but.. fine, you've already probably made yourself quite obvious here, might as well go all-out..'' <Marisa_Kirisame>	"That's the spirit!" Marisa says, charging up the laser fully. "Alright then, Blazing Star!" Marisa yells from high above. Her trusty giant laser explodes from behind as she streaks north through the night sky, suddenly propelled to breakneck speeds. <>Ambiance<>	 And a massive, rainbow laser spews through the night sky, like some freak aurora, over the city of Kai. There are exactly three car accidents from the sudden distraction, although none were killed. <Marisa_Kirisame>	Marisa tears through the night air, clearing over the mountains near Gensoukyou in mere minutes, barreling towards where she knows the barrier is. <>Ambiance<>	 And.. of course, the airships lingering near the barrier have also seen this. They start firing at the source of the laser, although they aren't nearly fast enough to hit Marisa. <>Ambiance<>	 Thankfully, the hole in the barrier is still in the same spot, still open. <Marisa_Kirisame>	Marisa zooms towards the opening as she clears the restricted airspace with ease, clearing it like a missile as she rockets back into Gensoukyou proper. Naturally the local inhabitants would be more knowledgeable as to the real source of this 'freak aurora'. <>Ambiance<>	 There is, of course, absolutely no confusion or panic as Marisa blasts back into Gensoukyou. The sound of gatling guns firing outside can still be heard, jarring and aggressive against Gensoukyou's peaceful scenery and the sound of singing crickets and birds, but all is fairly well now. <Marisa_Kirisame>	Marisa goes straight home, eager to figure out her new toys.
