*	Marisa_Kirisame is, naturally, searching the forest for mushrooms. Lately she's decided to try 'cultivating' them, letting them grow on their own and picking them when there's a bunch. It makes for better gains in the long run. Of course, hunting for new types or finding new mutations is always part of the job, as she darts about the woods. *	Marisa_Kirisame is using a magic circle emitting a spotlight of sorts to aid in her search, so noticing her zipping about the forest on her new broom won't be terribly difficult, especially the first time you accidentally get blinded by the oblivious witch. *	Konngara isn't sure 100% what to look for, of course, outside of a witch-- and she's a little startled by the sudden ring of light, shaking her head and hissing a little. A shuddering gust swarms briefly through the air around her. 	Agh-- whoever made that light, could you perhaps come out in the open?! I need to talk to a person who.. supposedly lives here.. *	Konngara holds a hand to the side of her head, quickly settling her own stirred anxieties and aggressions. She has no real reason to get agitated now, and getting too far might lead to her being unable to calm. 	The 'spotlight' seems to react before the witch is seen, coming Konngara's way again, darting about around the Yaksha, 'searching' the source of the noise before brightly 'centering' on her again, although only briefly before it turns off. Marisa yells from the distance "Oh! There you are!" before she quickly appears in person from some dark corner of the forest. *	Konngara grunts when she's once again ringed in light, blinking a few uneasy times and rubbing her eyes. Once the light's gone, she takes a little time to reacclimate to the darkness of the forest, a heavy sigh leaving her. Picking out Marisa's shape in the returning definition of the woods, she approaches a little, nodding her head in a respectful and brief bow. 	Miss.. Kirisame, I presume? This is all terribly blunt, I'm certain, but I was directed out here when I inquired about a youkai that was being particularly unruly. *	Konngara almost smirks, finding it terribly funny that she, someone who could be considered a youkai, is doing something like this. It feels unnatural to let troublemakers just get away with their problems, though, especially with her brutal work that she so enjoys. 	"Eh?" Marisa asks, giving Konngara a good look-over. In place of the spotlight, a much dimmer ring of ball lights seem to be orbiting around Marisa's hat, brightening up the dark forest. "That's a new one, a youkai having a youkai problem. Are ya sure the problem ain't you?" Marisa asks. It seems she's just as good at being blunt. *	Konngara finds this snark being returned her way actually somewhat amusing, maybe surprisingly so-- but she finds gutsy humans to be funny, so perhaps that's just as well. Observing Marisa for a few moments, trying to figure out exactly how well she fits the witch label, she just smirks. 	I'm quite sure, unless I've unknowingly stirred up a storm halfway across the region.. but I've had my time to learn and control what I have, so I can't say I'm the problem. 	No, no.. you see, I'm a torturer from Jigoku, on a bit of a vacation at the moment.. 	Wandering, seeing the plants and animals and amusing people, getting drinks.. but it grates on my nerves to see people cause trouble without being punished, I'm sure you would understand? 	"A polite youkai too. Even more strange. Are ya sure there ain't somethin' wrong with yer head?" Marisa seems to tease, before properly introducing herself. "Anyway, I'm Marisa Kirisame, Professional Youkai Blaster. Since having a sister would be news to me, I assume I'm at your service, ze." Marisa doesn't seem to respond with a bow or anything, she just seems to adjust to a more relaxed sitting position on her broom. 	Funny things happen to one's head when they rampage for a few centuries, get caught and sent off to get a useful job. I like to think that I've calmed down somewhat over the years. *	Konngara grins, giving a respectful head-bow when Marisa introduces herself. 	"A level-headed, hard-working youkai. The mysteries continue." 	Marisa-san, then.. anyways, right to the details, I suppose.. 	Some time about a day and a half ago now, there was a strange youkai wandering around up at the.. ah, I believe it was the Moriya shrine. The one up on the mountain's top. 	They flew around a little bit before dropping some infernal stove-looking object on the shrine from far up, smashing a good part of the far wall in while setting quite a lot aflame. 	"Sounds like a Moriya problem, but go on." *	Konngara chuckles a little, drawing comparisons with a few years ago. 	Of course, the shrine maiden there.. she either had terrible trouble with chasing the youkai off, or didn't get the chance to attack them. 	Said youkai, which was.. I believe it was a male, bright eyes, dark hair, very odd in manner of speaking.. had a four-armed person with them.. <Konngara>	Anyways, they dropped this flaming metal box on the shrine, ripped open the far wall, set some of the roof and some of the inside area aflame, and simply disappeared afterwards. <Konngara>	I spoke to the village, of course. They were the ones to redirect me here. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Sheesh, I'm surprised that both shrine gods didn't get involved." *	Konngara pauses, wiping a bit of blood off of her nose. <Konngara>	A good question. They were both absent for some peculiar reason. <Konngara>	But, ah.. I believe that the village would pay you for teaching such a youkai a lesson. A dangerous sort of person, dropping such large and flaming objects from the sky like that, and not caring at all to fix the damage or be punished.. <Konngara>	I would chase them down myself, but in all honesty, I should be returning to Jigoku soon.. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"A good blastin' will teach 'em, I reckon. You say the village will fund me for this?" Marisa asks. <Konngara>	Is that not what they do when you punish such naughty creatures? <Konngara>	You're benefitting another shrine that chases "nasty" youkai, as well as the village and.. whatever else may be put at risk by such a careless individual. <Konngara>	Of course they would pay you. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Yeah, they usually do, although it's usually more of a problem when the village itself is at risk." Marisa says, mostly to herself in idle thought. "The mountain's pretty far off, and only a haven for youkai, ya' know. Can barely even fly up the damn thing without every tengu in 3 kilos riding my ass." <Konngara>	Mm.. although, I didn't see so much of this one youkai in the hours I spent in the area after he disappeared. <Konngara>	I would presume it's no native there, you think? What native youkai would cause trouble with a local shrine maiden? *	Konngara tilts her head, perking an eyebrow in a bit of a playful manner as she presents this question. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"A dumb one, or, more likely, one that wasn't buying into the whole scam the goddess of the mountain has running up there." <Konngara>	It still sounds like an awful idea if they lived there.. <Konngara>	Although.. it all really boils down to justice being served as it rightfully should. You can go for it if you would, it's simply something that I thought was worth addressing. And since I cannot do so myself due to having a job elsewhere.. *	Konngara glances down at the mushrooms that Marisa's carrying. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"They must have been lucky the goddesses didn't get involved. Funny how that works, I hear they can be onmipresent, too. Strange indeed. Certainly an interesting story to hear, more interesting ta' follow up on." <Konngara>	... And it might give you something better to do than play with experimental drugs. *	Konngara chortles, before giving Marisa a bit of a toothy smile. <Konngara>	Interesting things do happen up here, that is for sure. I'll have to come back and visit again some time soon.. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Hm?" Marisa wonders briefly, following the Yaksha's gaze to her basket. "Only a couple of those are hallucinogenic if prepared right, actually. Most of them are rather inert when consumed. Or toxic, but I'm smart enough to have known which ones before I tried 'em." Marisa drones on. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Really, they're best for magic experimentation. I'd explain how it works, but it's a trade secret. You probably wouldn't care, anyway." <Konngara>	Not really. If I'm going to consume drugs, I'd rather just stick with drinking myself into a stupor. *	Konngara shrugs, before drifting up into the air a little in preparation to head off. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Thanks for the tip though, ze. I'll have to round up the team and blast 'em down for makin' a mess." Marisa says, grinning. <Konngara>	Well.. seeing as this was my last stop before returning home, I suppose I'll wish you good luck? You look like the sort who would do just fine, so go and.. do whatever it is you do. "Blasting". If we meet again, tell me the story, won't you? <Konngara>	Yes, fun indeed. My best regards, Kirisame-san, and.. don't tell the local shrine maiden that I bothered you~ She probably still hates me, after all... *	Konngara laughs to herself at the very thought before slithering up through the trees and up into the starry night sky further above. The light breeze about the area comes to a strange halt before starting softly back up. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Sure, sure. Good luck with your decidedly non-youkaish youkai, uh, things." Marisa gives as parting words. "And I doubt Reimu'll care about whatever old 'grudge' she might have, but I'll keep it under wraps"
 * Konngara wanders through the forest, which is, amusingly enough, a place she's never really been to before. She drifts along between the trees, occasionally stopping to look in the direction of a strange sound or to examine a new plant-- she seems quite peaceful despite her fearsome appearance and the sort of distrophic air about her. Of course, she's here to look for somebody..
