%Reimu_Hakurei is where she usually is, sitting on the veranda of the shrine, as if keeping watch over her donation box, like it suddenly might grow legs and try to sneak away. There's nothing that needs doing around the shrine at the moment (Not true, but she's too lazy to get started on anything at the moment) so she's enjoying some tea, and doing what she does best: nothing. %Marisa_Kirisame lazily floats down from the air into the shrine walkway, shouting a greeting as she flies and waving her free hand. Marisa has been busy today, but she always seems to have time to stop by the shrine to visit. She looks pretty happy to see Reimu's around today. %Reimu_Hakurei uses her free hand to shade her eyes as she looks up at the witch coming down from the sky, but making no real move to get up. Why should she? Marisa is a common enough visitor that doing anything special to greet her is a pain. She does look next to her on a tray to see that she has an empty cup with some hot tea still left. Of course its the cheapest tea she has, she's not about to make the %Reimu_Hakurei:. expensive stuff for other people. %Reimu_Hakurei:. "What are you doing here?" A rude question, but it's her way of saying hello. %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Ah! Thought I'd stop by and sit around awhile!" Marisa says, tossing the miko a small bag she's carrying as floats over where Reimu is sitting. It has some mochi she bought while in town earlier. "I brought something we could share, too!" %Reimu_Hakurei:. She catches the bag easily, careful not to spill her tea, then places the cup on the wooden floor beside her. "What's inside? You better not have brought more of those terrible tasting mushrooms." But she's looking inside the bag now to see what Marisa's brought. %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Hmph! I'm better at cooking then you are!" Marisa scoffs, taking a seat near Reimu and leaning against a beam as she casually sits back. %Marisa_Kirisame:. "But that's somethin' I bought in town." %Reimu_Hakurei:. "Mochi? ...Well that's better than mushrooms." In fact she's pretty sure she can be happy eating mochi with her tea. So while she empties the bag onto the tray, she fills up the extra cup of tea and pushes it out for Marisa. Of course, she ignores the mention of her own cooking. %Marisa_Kirisame has a sly smile as she picks up the tea and a mochi ball. She's known Reimu more then long enough to see past the grumpy facade. She takes a minute or two to enjoy the peace around the shrine and relax. %Reimu_Hakurei:. To Reimu, there's not much she's worried about at the moment, because nothing is bothering her at the shrine, so she doesn't have much to say. But something about Marisa's appearance makes her think. "So what are you relly here for today?" %Marisa_Kirisame looks back down from relaxing. She does look a bit off, with some noticable scabs under her hair and some bandagess under her dress faintly visible where they go around her shoulder and neck. "Eh? I thought I'd take a break for a bit and stop by, although I guess I have some stuff I can talk about." %Reimu_Hakurei weighs it in her head for a few moments, wondering if she really wants to deal with what Marisa has to say....but she realizes that things like this, often work out with her managing to get a few more donations than usual. %Reimu_Hakurei:. "Tell me what's going on." %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Hmmm, I've been pretty busy lately, you know. One of my magic experiments has been a bust, and it took all season to prepare too... Also had Koishi tailing me for the last few weeks." %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Eh, but I'll cut to the chase." %Marisa_Kirisame gets into a less relaxed posture, and looks a bit more serious %Marisa_Kirisame:. "We've been having lots of problems with Nue Houjuu lately, as I'm sure you know. Attacks on the village, harassing people, wrecking other places too. I actually had a fight with her the other day, and we roughed each other up pretty good." %Reimu_Hakurei looks at Marisa, her interest apparently piqued. %Reimu_Hakurei:. "Did you lose to her?" That's a bit surprising, but it would explain the witch's current appearance. %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Eh heh heh, I'd call it more of a draw, I guess.... Her jaw got broken, and I got her with a Master Spark too, but she cut a pretty big gash in my chest." Marisa answers, a bit embarassed, and only telling half the truth. %Reimu_Hakurei:. "Should you be flying around with an injury like that?" She raises a surprised eyebrow at Marisa, taking a bite of that mochi that her friend has brought. She's not too worried, or at least she doesn't show it. %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Ah, it's not too bad now, I've been treating it with my own special healing salve. It should be all healed in a few days, tops. I'm going over to Eientei later today, too, alebit for a different reason, but Eirin might fix me up as well if she feels like it. Don't worry about it too much." %Reimu_Hakurei looks away from her friend, too look at her empty donation box. %Reimu_Hakurei:. "I never said I was worried." %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Whatever ya say." Marisa says, taking a chunk out of her own dango before continuing. "Anyway, I was talkin' with Byakuren and co. about Nue, but I dunno if they can put a leash on that youkai. I'm thinkin' we should get rid of her if she keeps bein' a problem. Seal her or exterminate her or something." %Reimu_Hakurei groans some more, obviously not too excited about having to go do something about Nue. Between the youkai's friendship with Yukari, and how annoying it would be to go and fight her straight up, makes Reimu wish the problem would go away on it's own. %Reimu_Hakurei:. "I was hoping she'd just get bored and stop it on her own.." %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Hmph, a youkai that has the power to do whatever it wants, and gets bored of it? We'll have flying pigs appearin' here next, I reckon." Marisa says with a laugh. %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Only way we could make her bored is it we make it too much work for her to cause trouble. Stop her at every turn, but that's more work for us, too." null is now known as null|Making_OC %Reimu_Hakurei:. "Us?" Reimu looks over at Marisa, focusing on the wounds she already received. "You aren't going to be much use if you're injured." %Marisa_Kirisame:. "I'll get better. I didn't say we had to go blast her now, ya know. Unless you wanna babysit Nue by yourself, then by all means." Marisa suggests, already knowing what reaction she'll get to that. %Reimu_Hakurei:. "I can handle her myself, you know." She eats a bit more of her mochi, finishing it down with a sip of tea. She doesn't really like help, preferring the people in the village to see that SHE is the one worth donating to, but on the other hand, having Marisa there to distract Nue and take a few hits so Reimu doesn't have to is good too. %Reimu_Hakurei:. "...But if you want you can come along, when I decide what I'm going to do about it." %Marisa_Kirisame almost chokes on her mochi. "'Come along'? What's that supposed to mean? Am I just the sidekick now?" %Reimu_Hakurei:. "What else would you be?" She smirks, with one eye closed, looking so smug. %Marisa_Kirisame:. "I woulda beat Nue that last time if I didn't get interrupted, ya know. I only asked you for help as a precaution. I have other people to help me too, like Alice." Marisa scoffs. %Reimu_Hakurei:. "If you think you and Alice can take her, be my guest." She's joking though, because if those two actually went and got hurt, or worse died, she'd feel pretty bad about it. It's her job to handle problems like this, and in the end, she knows she should be to one to actually do it. %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Hmph. Well I ain't just a sidekick. We've been through enough incidents together to know that's a joke. I hope you're not bein' serious." %Reimu_Hakurei:. "Alright, alright, you're not a sidekick." She laughs a little, tossing a mochi at Marisa. "We'll work together then." %Marisa_Kirisame:. "That's more like it." Marisa says, catching the mochi and biting off a big mouthfull of it. Marisa knew Reimu was tougher then her, but it she still thought claims like that were a bit arrogant for being partners and friends that long. She brushes off the thoughts after chewing on her mochi a bit, though. %Reimu_Hakurei:. "I know Yukari is going to be a pain about it though, if we do end up beating up Nue again." She knows what's going on there, or at least, she has some idea. %Reimu_Hakurei watches Marisa eat, still looking at her wounds. Despite her arrogant attitude, there's still a bit of worry in her. Worry aside from Marisa slowing her down. If Marisa died...being upset would be a giant understatement. %Marisa_Kirisame:. "You're the hakurei barrier guard or something, right? Just tell her you're doing your job, or something. Nue's a threat." Marisa shrugs. She didn't have to deal with Yukari as much as Reimu, so she didn't have much of a clue what to do if Yukari got uppity. %Reimu_Hakurei:. "I guess I can just hope she's too busy sleeping to even care." %Reimu_Hakurei:. "Go and see that doctor, and make sure you're not going to collapse on me in the middle of a fight, and then we can decide what to do." %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Right. Maybe we can get Yukari to gap Nue somewhere else, and be someone else's problem. Or get her to babysit Nue. I dunno. Yukari's just gotta accept that when someone stirs up too much trouble, we don't sit on our thumbs." %Reimu_Hakurei groans a little, just laying back on her veranda, looking up at the underside of the roof's overhang. ...She really should get around to cleaning that sometime before winter. %Reimu_Hakurei:. "Dealing with that woman is never that simple." cxl is now known as Ouyang_Yaozi %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Guess that's youkai for you." %Marisa_Kirisame leans forward, and gets back to her feet, before calling her broom under her and sitting back down on it. %Reimu_Hakurei:. "You're leaving already?" she asks, sitting up again. %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Hm? Did I get up too soon after all?" Marisa asks. "I can keep sticking around if you don't mind, although I wanted to go over to Eirin's sometime today." %Marisa_Kirisame decides to return to her sitting position on the post, leaning her broom against the wall. "Guess we could talk about other stuff." %Reimu_Hakurei:. "Hey I didn't say you had to stay either." She's just difficult, as always. %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Ah, don't make me sit back down and say that. I'll tell ya what I've been up to recently." %Reimu_Hakurei:. "It's not like I have anything better to do." She believes that too, despite the state of her shrine. %Reimu_Hakurei:. "So what have you been doing? Besides bothering Patchouli and Alice?" %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Hmmm, where to begin? My last big trip was back down underground again." Marisa says, taking a sip of tea while she thinks. %Marisa_Kirisame:. "I saw Patchy goin' down there one day, and decided to follow and cause her some trouble." %Marisa_Kirisame:. "They have a pretty big library down there, but I got stopped by Suika before I could do much down there. We decided to hang out and drink like oni, heh heh." %Reimu_Hakurei:. "Underground? To the Palace of the Earth Spirits?" %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Ah, Ancient City before that. I'm getting to that part." %Reimu_Hakurei:. "So that's where she's been lately.." she remarks, but lets Marisa continue. %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Oni booze down there is pretty nice, ya know. But it's stronger then I thought. Before I knew it I was real drunk." Marisa says, apparently not embarassed to admit it. %Marisa_Kirisame:. "So I decided to crash with those two satori at the Palace. Thankfully, I'm pals with Satori's sister, Koishi." %Marisa_Kirisame:. "The day after that, Koishi decided to hang out with me, and we went back to the surface after having a duel." %Reimu_Hakurei:. "I guess she still likes to follow you around then." %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Yeah, although she only just vanished today, actually. I looked around but couldn't find her." %Reimu_Hakurei:. "I'm sure she just went back to her home," she adds with a shrug. "So how did you end up fighting Nue?" %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Ah, later in the story. Lemmie get to it." %Reimu_Hakurei:. "Jeez, I didn't know this was going to be so long, or else I would have gone and gotten more food." %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Hmph. Anyways, after we went back topside, I decided to show her around a bit. She actually followed me so we could go visit Yuuka, because she wanted to grow flowers underground. Oddly enough, we never did do that, hah." %Reimu_Hakurei:. "I guess you were looking to fight." %Marisa_Kirisame:. "If we had to, yeah. Yuuka's always a mixed bag when dealing with her." %Marisa_Kirisame:. "We did end up in a fight that day, though." %Reimu_Hakurei:. "Don't you get tired fighting people do no reason? It's not like it's going to make you any money." %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Eh? Well, this one actually did make me a bit of cash." %Marisa_Kirisame:. "I ended up fighting some weird offshoot of the Saigyou Ayakashi." %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Actually, I should have told you earlier about that..." Marisa says, scratching the back of her head. "Or maybe you already had to deal with it at some point." null|Making_OC is now known as Kata_Kirauwa %Reimu_Hakurei:. "Yeah, so what then?" she says to skip ahead in the story. %Reimu_Hakurei:. (( just skip it for now )) %Marisa_Kirisame:. ((right)) %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Ah, well after that, Koishi decided to start hanging around with me at my house for awhile. Buncha minor stuff happened with that, we became friends. That leads up to the first fight I had with Nue." %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Actually, I shouldn't have to talk much about that, since you helped me with that fight." %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Anyways..." %Marisa_Kirisame:. "I got fixed up by Eirin after that one, and did a bunch more stuff with Koishi. Mostly helping me out with my research and stuff, you wouldn't be too interested." %Reimu_Hakurei:. "I was hoping she'd learn to leave the village alone at least for a little while." %Marisa_Kirisame:. "Right. That actually leads up to my second fight with Nue, since it was uneventful after that %Reimu_Hakurei:.	"You decided to fight her alone."  %Marisa_Kirisame:.	"Nah, with Koishi."  %Reimu_Hakurei:.	"And you both lost."  %Marisa_Kirisame:.	"I wouldn't say 'lost'. I actually got a good Master Spark off on Nue, and she broke my broom. I would have been a draw after that..." %Marisa_Kirisame:.	"...until Koishi broke her jaw."  %Reimu_Hakurei:.	"It sounds like you just made her mad."  %Marisa_Kirisame:.	"She took exception to that." Marisa says, understating the situation by a lot.  %Reimu_Hakurei:.	"I'm not surprised," Reimu manages to get to her feet, and move to her donation box, as if checking to see if money has somehow materialized inside.  %Marisa_Kirisame:.	"I'd rather not describe much after that, but that's when she scratched me up, and we ran off."  %Reimu_Hakurei:.	"I guess we really might have to do something about it. I haven't gotten a donation in a while.." She sighs again, hanging over the box, staring inside. "Bring some more mochi the next time you come after seeing Eirin, will you?" %Marisa_Kirisame:.	"Hm? Oh, sure. I don't mind."
