	"Well, I'm gonna find a way to get electricity." she says, starting off towards the office buildings as she leaves the shop. "If nothin' else I can amaze you an' Reimu with all this fancy stuff I bring home, he he." *	Marisa_Kirisame is tempted to fly there, really, but that might attract attention, so she begins walking towards the office buildings. <>Ambiance<>	 ''I think you're kind of crazy, to be honest.. the longer you stay out there, the more likely it is that you'll get stranded and we'll have to go out of our way to get you back. And how are you going to carry it all back?'' 	"I'll find somethin' I can carry by hand, and just put it in my hat, of course." <>Ambiance<>	 ''And you're going to bring it all back like that? I don't know, that generator sounded big from the way you reacted..'' 	"Well if he's never been to the store, maybe they have something smaller." <>Ambiance<>	 Up ahead, there's a slight stirring noise. To a keen eye, there's someone lurking in the alleyway about ten meters ahead.. <>Ambiance<>	 Something that makes electricity and can be moved around doesn't seem like something that'd be small, from what I know.. 	"Never will know till I see, I guess." Marisa says, eyeing the alleyway ahead. She had a bad feeling about whatever was in the alley, like a youkai or something. But she's carrying her broom, at least, and if she's the only one here who can use magic, she's got an advantage already. She doesn't hesitate as she approaches the alley. <>Ambiance<>	 A young man darts out of the alleyway, a knife in hand. He's dressed fairly neatly for a ruffian, but he gestures at Marisa with the knife all the same. All your pocket change, now, he demands. 	Marisa seems to expect SOMETHING to jump out, but she didn't expect something as simple as a human thug. In fact, Marisa could probably beat him down easily enough with just her broom, looking him up and down. She may use mainly magic to fight, but she's no slouch. "What, you think you're gonna rob me with that?" she asks plainly. <>Ambiance<>	 Um, yeah? He seems a little taken aback at such a comment. It wouldn't be hard to cut your neck right open if I had to, but we can avoid that if you hand over some money, don't you think? <>Ambiance<>	 .. Marisa? Marisa, what's going on? Alice quickly asks, catching another voice and starting to get somewhat concerned now. *	Marisa_Kirisame grins, answering, "There's some guy with a knife over here. It's almost funny." she says, not caring if the guy can hear her, and taking a defensive stance, her broom at the ready. She was far enough she couldn't get stabbed without a chance to act, so she felt fairly safe. "It's almost pathetic." <>Ambiance<>	 ''A robber? Marisa, how're you going to deal with that if you can't.. you know..?'' Alice responds, her tone quizzical. <>Ambiance<>	 Staring at Marisa for a moment, the thug finds it pretty offensive that he's being insulted like this, and he charges at Marisa, aiming a swipe of his knife at her shoulder while trying to grapple the broom away from her. 	Marisa uses the length of the broom to her advantage, swinging the broom-end upwards to swat at his face. If she was lucky, she'd blind him. If anything, he couldn't exactly charge through a broom. <>Ambiance<>	 The thug stumbles backwards, finding it terribly weird that this girl was carrying a broom for no discernable reason, but after getting his bearings back in those next few seconds of staggering, he charges again, rounding on Marisa and attempting to drive her back into the alleyway. 	Marisa jumps backwards as the guy stumbles, giving her a bit of extra room in the alleyway. In fact, she seems to jump extraordinarially far, a few feet or so back. Sliding her hands down to the broom end, she aims a jab with the shaft at his gut, putting a decent amount of force into the thrust. <>Ambiance<>	 He seems quite stubborn to get that pocket change: he goes at Marisa again, but is hit quite hard by the wooden shaft of the broomstick. He wobbles backwards, making a pained gargling noise, and then just tosses his knife at her as he tries to get his balance back. 	Marisa doesn't even need to think to dodge a single projectile. She just naturally flows right around it, going for the finishing blow, sweeping the broom right at his knees. <>Ambiance<>	 And it isn't terribly hard to do just that, as after tossing his weapon and after being quite disorientated from the blow in the stomach, the thug collapses quite easily when being struck in the knees. He's obviously still quite alive, but in no mood to fight any more. 	Marisa makes the final point by planting her boot right on his stomach, putting enough weight into it to make an obvious point. "Heh heh, that's what you get for underestimatin' me." <>Ambiance<>	 The thug just grumbles and mumbles something that's not quite loud enough to be audible, trying to crawl away. But that's not something really possible right now. <>Ambiance<>	 ''What, you beat him, right? You should get moving before anyone else shows up...'' 	"Ah, what a bother. If this were back at home, I coulda dragged him to the jail myself." Marisa says, walking back to the knife, pocketing it, and walking back off towards the office buildings, hoping she'd find the electronics store. <>Ambiance<>	 ''Or just toss him out of the wall and let the youkai at him. Troublemakers like that tend to end up dead all the same..'' 	"That's a bit mean, even for a thug like that, but whatever. Anyway, onto this 'eleckroniks' store." <>Ambiance<>	 Of course, it's going to be a bit of the walk. The city isn't necessarily super small. 	A walk all the same, but Marisa hoofs it, determined to at least make it out of this city with a device that makes electricty, if nothing else. <>Ambiance<>	 Needless to say, some of the people still out and about also end up watching Marisa as she goes. It's the outfit, and the broom, surely. <>Ambiance<>	 The taller office buildings are up ahead now, though. They're fairly big and intimidating, even if they're used for paperwork and all those office-y things. 	"Sheesh, walking sucks." Marisa says once she's fairly close. "I can't remember the last time I've had to actually walk this far" she says, sounding fairly tired. <>Ambiance<>	 ''It's certainly a lot easier. Shame, you could always steal a bike, but I don't want to advocate theft out here..'' 	"Eh, I might as well just fly back when nobody is lookin" Marisa says. <>Ambiance<>	 ''I'm sure. Just stay all and out of sight, or stay high in the sky.'' 	Marisa starts looking for the restaurant or the store as she gets close to the buildings. <>Ambiance<>	 Up ahead, among the mass of shops and various street-side attractions, it does appear that there's a restaurant fitting the bill. It looks rather fancy and expensive in nature. 	"Ah, there's the restaurant. Now he said the store was across the street..." she says, mainly to herself, looking around, starting, obviously, with across the street. Thankfully she figured out by now that trying to cross the road was a good way to get hit by those metal boxes. <>Ambiance<>	 There does appear to be a crosswalk and a few flashing signals that go with it. Whether or not Marisa knows how to use that, of course.. <Marisa_Kirisame>	It's just a matter of following along with people, she was smart enough to notice how other people crossed. <Marisa_Kirisame>	Marisa goes across the street, looking for this store, which she expected would be filled with odd devices. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Electronics... electronics... <>Ambiance<>	 What are all of those loud noises? Where are you?  <Marisa_Kirisame>	"I'm in the city still. I'm looking for this store the game store man was talking about." <>Ambiance<>	 Not far across the street, there's a shop named Fuji Hardware Co.. The windows have a lot of industrial-looking machines in them. However.. it appears that it's closed for the night..  <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Ugh, it's dark in there, and nobody is inside. What a waste." Marisa pouts. <>Ambiance<>	 Oh.. it must be closed, then. You could fly back into Gensoukyou and come back early tomorrow?  <Marisa_Kirisame>	"That sounds like a pain in the butt. I dunno if that bruise will even be there tommrow. Ugh, this was a waste of time." <>Ambiance<>	 If it's such a hassle, you could always go around back and Master Spark your way in, but.. well..  <Marisa_Kirisame>	"I'm not dumb enough to rob a store from the front, with a Master Spark."  <Marisa_Kirisame>	"They probably have a back door, at least." she reasons. Why should she care, really? Humans don't have magic, and she wasn't gonna be outside long enough to get hassled.  <>Ambiance<>	 That's why I said from the back, you dingus. You could easily spark a hole in the back, get a generator or whatever it was, and then fly up high enough to where nobody can see you.  <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Well, fine." Marisa says, heading behind the building and looking for the door.  <>Ambiance<>	 Only if you're that desperate, though. The spark might end up piercing through the whole building..  <>Ambiance<>	 There's a few large shipping trucks parked out back, but they're deserted. There's a couple ramps and larger doors for goods to go in through, as well as a door in back that is more human-sized. It's locked, however. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"I could just use normal lasers." Marisa says, finding the back door. and concentrating a laser at the hinges. Stealth wasn't usually her thing, but she didn't want to attract so much attention she couldn't get back to the game store. <>Ambiance<>	 Yes, I suppose you could.. <>Ambiance<>	 The hinges easily, cleanly break under Marisa's lasers. Given the nature of them and the locks, it shouldn't be too hard to get inside.. <Marisa_Kirisame>	getting past the door is now as easily as kicking it aside, opening it the opposite way. <>Ambiance<>	 Once inside, it appears this is a back-room with a variety of closets and a table with various industrial equipment on top, probably being tweaked or fixed at the moment. It's also deserted. Up ahead, there's another door that probably leads out into the main store, which is also locked.. <Marisa_Kirisame>	Marisa applies lasers to the next door as well as soon as she figures out it is also locked, trying to be quick about it, rolling her eyes. "More locked doors. What a pain." <>Ambiance<>	 ''Theft isn't too uncommon out there, I think. Everyone locks their doors for good reason, you know.'' <>Ambiance<>	 The interior of the store is fairly large, lots of shelves that clearly show where everything is. There's a few security cameras, including one that's aimed right at the back door.. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Well, it's a good thing they don't have magic, so they can't detect intruders with a spell like I could." she says, easily pushing this door aside as well. The metal boxes on the walls meant nothing to her. <>Ambiance<>	 The cameras watch rather closely, but there don't seem to be any alarms going off. It's all perfectly quiet.. <>Ambiance<>	 ''They probably have some way to protect their things, though. Remember, human technology is pretty advanced.'' <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Hmph, it'll be too late for them in any case. It's not like I'm coming back." <Marisa_Kirisame>	Marisa busts her way into the front of the store, and begins looking for anything that looks like a portable power source. She keeps away from the store front, for obvious reasons, using a light spell to see in the dark. <>Ambiance<>	 ''I suppose... either way, don't take too much time. Just grab what you came here for, maybe leave money in exchange, and then get going back to the Yatsugatake mountains..'' <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Hmph, if they can't stay up late enough to sell me goods, clearly they don't need the money." Marisa says, looking for anything she can fit in her hat that could make electricity. <>Ambiance<>	 There's a variety of things in the more electricity-oriented area of the store. There's portable generators, there's solar panels, there's plenty of cable and little doodads for wiring, there's flashlights, batteries.. quite a wide range. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"I think I found this generator, but it's huge..." she mutters, passing over it quickly. Batteries and such looked useful, she grabbed a bunch of packs and stuffs that in her hat. The word 'solar panels' caught her interest. "Whoa, there's stuff here that is..." she says, reading the box "Makes electricity from the sun! Wow! I gotta find something smaller like this!" *	Marisa_Kirisame quickly starts looking for something labeled 'solar' but smaller. <>Ambiance<>	 There is a good section of eco-friendly electrical goodies. Some solar panels are about the size of plates and a bit smaller, and come individually wrapped. <Marisa_Kirisame>	Marisa also takes the time to stuff a couple flashlights into her hat. They looked useful as well. She didn't need portable lights, but who knows who did? "Here's one that's smaller... I wonder if it will work?" she wonders aloud, nicking two and putting that into her hat as well. Her hat was getting rather full... Or was it? <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Surely they wouldn't make them if they weren't useful for objects I need to 'charge'" Marisa reasons. <>Ambiance<>	 Not much of it is all that heavy, besides the flashlights. The solar panels are fairly lightweight for something the size of plates. <>Ambiance<>	 They probably do, humans wouldn't sell something that wouldn't work unless they were intending to scam people... <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Heh, well, I guess I got what I came for." Marisa says, making her way out of the store with some haste. <>Ambiance<>	 Mysteriously, the sirens don't go off when Marisa crosses back through the very backmost door.. because it's all disappeared into her hat. Which is quite a dastardly way to steal indeed. Not much more happens-- there's still nobody around. *	Marisa_Kirisame doesn't expect anything to go off, of course, but she doesn't want to stick around to find out if she got caught. Once she's past the back door, she hops on her broom and starts flying straight up. <>Ambiance<>	 Of course, the security cameras caught every second of it, from audio to video. As Marisa flies straight upwards, there's a few fairly baffled drivers on the road that see a strange object in the night that goes vertically straight upwards, but.. it's not easy to tell what it is. They deem it a UFO or a strange owl.
