	"Sheesh, I should just bail already if you're gonna be no help, ya know." she complains, still trying to get her friend to go help her find Yukari. 	"I wish I could actually drink some of that right now." she says, following with an exhasperated sigh. *	Sakuya_Izayoi drifts past the guest rooms, listening somewhat to the conversation that she can hear through the door. She's tempted to just wander into it, but it seems like a bit of an unneeded thing to do right now. Instead, when she catches the sound of a distant disturbance, she wanders off that way. *	Reimu_Hakurei yawns, finding herself a tad sleepy due to having consumed a few dish-fulls of sake. Not enough to get drunk, but sort of tipsy. She glances over to the phantom nearby, sighing quietly to herself at the complaints, setting down the dish. 	Alright, alright already. Sheesh. I told you already before, right? I can't really contact Yukari, even if I want to. You got any ideas for that? <>Ambiance<>	 From what can be seen out in the main hall, it looks like a certain magician has finally gotten home, looking a little tattered in some strange robes. There's a bit of a fuss going on that's being conducted by her-- she knows exactly what's going on. 	What do you all mean, you actually undertook that game in a place like this at a time like this?! Are you all daft? You've given me so much damnable work in having to figure this out now, and I've only just come home after staring death in the face for days..! 	"As a matter of fact, I do!" Marisa replies slyly, putting a grin on. "I took a trip to the netherworld last week, and had some tea with Yuyuko. She told me all about Yukari's shikigami. I bet one wouldn't be too hard to find with her help, at that." 	And that's why everyone needs to brush up on their damnable foresight! Ugh.. I'm-- I'm just going to.. I'll point out when I've figured out what contacts we can meet with in order to sort out this mess.. 	There wasn't any full realization of possibilities, you do realize, and the situation's under control, after all. We've got people here who are concerned with figuring-- *	Flandre_Scarlet doesn't miss the arrival of the magician, despite the clamor around her. In fact, she's pretty much been waiting for Patchy to be around ever since she went to the outside world. With a small squeak and a rush of air, the little vampire is instantaneously beside the librarian, flames in hand as she's already partway through summoning Laevateinn. 	Hi, Patchy...! *	Flandre_Scarlet looks up at the other, a wide fanged grin happily plastered onto her face. *	Patchouli_Knowledge has already started to drift off towards the Voile, the air practically crackling around her-- and she comes to a rather sudden stop when Flandre shows up right in front of her. Her expression becomes something between revoltedness and horror. 	... Yes, hello, Flandre. It's nice to see you. Now, if you don't mind, I've got some very important business to work on, goodbye. *	Patchouli_Knowledge steps around the little vampire, hastening her movements so she can hopefully close the door behind her before Flandre can corner her. <>Ambiance<>	 Meanwhile, there appears to be someone knocking at the front door. Loudly. Sakuya has already just thrown up her hands and left the situation, so it might be a little while before it's answered. 	Wait, Patchy, wait! I want you to help me with something-- Hey....! *	Flandre_Scarlet flaps her wings once-- needlessly, as always, bringing her drifting alongside Patchouli again. 	Patchyyyyy... *	Flandre_Scarlet says, now beginning to awaken Laevateinn, as she had learned to do, producing the large, blood-red sword which immediately begins to radiate unbearable heat and spiritual force. 	Laevateinn's broke, Patchy. Please it fix it.... *	Patchouli_Knowledge shrinks back a bit when Laevateinn stirs to life, looking even more mortified now. 	Wh-- that-- that's not broken. It seems quite healthy to me. It seems extremely healthy. You should play with it more often and make your playmates golden-brown with it. 	But it talks, Patchy! It's weird and I don't know what it's saying...! 	....Well...okay. Do you know where they might be found, then? 	It.. talks. What do you mean, it talks? <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Well, she said that one of 'em is always around, and Gensoukyou ain't that big, right? We'll just search around starting from the village and find one." *	Patchouli_Knowledge has since sort of rotated around, starting to steadily back up in the direction of the Voile. *	Alice_Margatroid is still indignantly standing at the front door at the moment.. so she's more or less just left the front gates, drifting up into the air and starting to look for open windows. *	Alice_Margatroid does eventually find one that's wide open, seeing as it is the middle of the night. Carefully looking inside to make sure that one maid isn't around at the moment, she floats up onto the windowsill and steps in, a few dolls drifting in after her. *	Flandre_Scarlet follows Patches, keeping the ditance between herself and the magician more or less the same while she talks, every so often Laevateinn pulses, releasing a fresh wave of scorching heat and a quite noticeable echo of power that quickly draws the attention of many of the random guests nearby. <Flandre_Scarlet>	It talks! I don't know what it's saying, but...you're a smart book-lady, you'll know, right? *	Flandre_Scarlet holds out Laevateinn horizontally oriented so Patchy can see it. <Patchouli_Knowledge>	I can't hear it, that's the problem, isn't it? Yes, I can see it just fine, my vision is not a terrible thing-- but I wouldn't know what it would be saying if I cannot hear it to begin with, you realize... *	Alice_Margatroid wanders down the halls on about the second or third floor, looking back and forth warily with her dolls facing outwards behind her. This place certainly is a little eerie, even during a party.. but from the ideas she's gotten in her head, the atmosphere can't be that bad. Now to just look for any signs of ghosts.. <Flandre_Scarlet>	Well, take it. I bet Laevateinn will talk to you, it's very friendly and happy!...I think. *	Flandre_Scarlet waggles the blade of the sword, sort of stirring up a firestorm around the blade, though it fades away without actually destroying anything....this time. <Patchouli_Knowledge>	Well... I'm not hearing anything.. I suppose I could, perhaps, find some sort of way to open my ears to it, but-- but you do realize that I have much more important things to do, right? <Flandre_Scarlet>	B-but Patchyyyy! *	Flandre_Scarlet says plaintively, flopping the sword around and sending large waves of fire in random directions, annihilating some nearby fairy maids, causing the remainder of them to scatter with wails of terror. <Flandre_Scarlet>	Just try...Remi and Sakuya don't know what to do... *	Patchouli_Knowledge grows a little more pale than she already is, lifting her hands a bit. <Patchouli_Knowledge>	K-knock it off, you.. you wouldn't want to set anyone on-- oh, it looks like it's too late for that, isn't it... <Patchouli_Knowledge>	Just-- just make it go back to sleep. I'll get back to it after I'm done fixing the curse. <Patchouli_Knowledge>	You do know that there's been a curse put on everyone here, and it's going to hurt all of us if we don't fix it, Flandre? <Flandre_Scarlet>	A curse...? Oh! Did that man from before do it? Where did he go? I can do that one thing. You know....'Kyuuuu'.... *	Flandre_Scarlet flickers with her own power, seperate from Laevateinn's as she idly closes her hand around something, causing the area to grow slightly darker before she releases her grip <Patchouli_Knowledge>	He's gone now, you know. And I'm not sure if you can "kyuu" a curse.. <Flandre_Scarlet>	I can always try! But...I don't know which eye is the curse's, Patchy...There are so many... <Patchouli_Knowledge>	Yeah, you-- please refrain from doing such a thing. <Patchouli_Knowledge>	Honestly, just.. just relax. I intend to figure this out. <Reimu_Hakurei>	Sooo....what you're saying is that we need to go around and beat people up until we find someone who knows something good, right? <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Sounds like a plan to me! Heh heh." *	Alice_Margatroid wanders from room to room, peeking in on the ones she can see. There surely has to be some trace somewhere, she's getting that feeling.. <Alice_Margatroid>	Marisa..? *	null is now known as nullasleep *	Flandre_Scarlet giggles rather innocently, as though completely unaware of the fact that she just expressed an interest in murdering somebody and killed several fairies, even if it was an accident. <Flandre_Scarlet>	Okay, Patchy. But...if I'll be good, will you promise to help me with Laevateinn?~ <Patchouli_Knowledge>	... Yes, that would be.. just fine. <Reimu_Hakurei>	Right, then...where should we start? Actually, what all did Yuyuko say? I remember her being fairly knowledgable about this sort of thing... <Patchouli_Knowledge>	Now, would you please let me leave off to my library..? <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Ah, she described what they all looked like, and that at least one of them was always around Gensoukyou." Marisa says, without forcing the author to go find the logs to actually recite what they look like <Flandre_Scarlet>	Hmmm...But do you -promise-? *	Flandre_Scarlet asks, standing on her tippy-toes to look Patchy more closely in the eye, head tilted to one side as though she were trying to figure out if Patchouli was truly sincere or not. <Patchouli_Knowledge>	Well, yes, of course, because it would be a danger to leave something as destructive as that acting strange. *	Marisa_Kirisame perks up a bit at all the commotion from the energy Laevateinn is giving off. "Do you feel that? There's a big buncha energy being released nearby, I think." <Flandre_Scarlet>	But you haven't promised yet. You just keep saying...words that aren't promises...! <Patchouli_Knowledge>	Fine then. I promise you, Flan, that I'll help you. *	Patchouli_Knowledge breathes a heavy sigh, giving the little vampire a bit of a forced smile. *	Alice_Margatroid also notices that strange energy in the air-- but that's not necessarily what she's focusing on. Soon giving up on finding anything on this floor, she heads down the stairs partway and goes off to rummage around the first of the guest rooms, which are conveniently on the way to the library. <Flandre_Scarlet>	Ha ha~ Thank you, Patchy~ *	Flandre_Scarlet nonchalantly dispels Laevateinn, stepping forward to embrace the magician briefly. She...tries to be gentle, but of course Flan can only be gentle to a certain degree, so it probably feels sort of...tight. *	Sakuya_Izayoi makes an uncomfortable grunt, coughing somewhat. *	Patchouli_Knowledge makes a low grunt, trying to wriggle away from Flandre. <Patchouli_Knowledge>	Yes, you're welcome, now please let me go. *	Reimu_Hakurei sighs, closing her eyes in order to better feel the energy, but it soon fades completely. <Reimu_Hakurei>	Ugh, you never know around this place, Marisa. That's why I don't like coming here; it's like everything is, in some way, trying to kill you without yo knowing about it. <Flandre_Scarlet>	Okay...~ *	Flandre_Scarlet releases the librarian as she was asked, idly wondering if there was anything interesting she could be doing right now. Thankfully, her match with Marisa and Reimu has escaped her notice thus far.... <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Well, you're Reimu Hakurei, and nothing's gonna be killing you, and I'm already dead, so it doesn't really seem like that big of a deal, ze." Marisa deadpans. <Patchouli_Knowledge>	Egh.. good... *	Patchouli_Knowledge quickly makes off for the library, very happy to be getting away from this. <Alice_Margatroid>	Marisaaa...? Surely you're here, you idiot..! *	Alice_Margatroid goes from door to door, looking for any sign or reaction to such activity-- she's on the main floor now, with the guest rooms there, so surely she's not too far behind. *	Reimu_Hakurei begins to fel Alice's presence close by, causing another sigh. Oddly, she makes a small chuckle afterwards, glancing over at Marisa. <Reimu_Hakurei>	Hey, now, I think someone might be here to see you. Why don't you go look? *	Flandre_Scarlet, apparently placated for the moment, goes off to find something to kill time on, maybe play with Remi or something. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Eh?" Marisa asks, not really getting what she means, but shrugging and getting up anyway. Floating over to the door, she causes it to open by itself, and casually floats through the doorway, predictably ending up right in front of Alice. <Alice_Margatroid>	M--Marisa..! *	Marisa_Kirisame turns and looks a bit surprised, not knowing quite how to react. The awful realization that she totally bolted from Alice's house to go screw around suddenly hits her. "A-ah! A-Alice! I see ya, eh, figured out where I went?" <Alice_Margatroid>	H--heheh... ah... *	Alice_Margatroid is mostly just fairly overcome by the fact that Marisa's right here, and she leans forward to brace herself up against her knees. <Alice_Margatroid>	Yes, I did. <Alice_Margatroid>	Ugh.. I-I'm honestly-- why did you go off like that?! <Alice_Margatroid>	I was just trying to help you get back in your body after I found a way to fix it! *	Reimu_Hakurei is more or less content to let Alice and Marisa talk for now, leaning back a little while taking a sip of sake, seemingly without a care in the world. It's said that consumption of alcohol can speed up the patch to enlightenment, right? <Marisa_Kirisame>	"I... er... uh...." Marisa studders, looking like a deer in headlights. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Are you okay, Alice? Ya look a bit like ya saw a ghost." Marisa quickly changes the subject. <Alice_Margatroid>	You-- you moron! That's exactly what I'm looking at right now! *	Alice_Margatroid almost reaches out to grab Marisa's shoulder or something like that, but.. she finds that she can't do just that. And it's almost terribly saddening if she wasn't so agitated at the moment. <Alice_Margatroid>	If you weren't so reckless and thoughtless, we-- we wouldn't.. we wouldn't be in this mess. Maybe if you'd work with me here, we can fix this, but if you're just going to cause problems and run away, then fine, m-maybe I won't help you return to being alive! <Marisa_Kirisame>	"I guess ya got me there, hah... hah." she answers, not trying terribly hard to laugh at that. "B-buut I DID find a way that I can get back to normal! Honest!" <Alice_Margatroid>	Yeah? Tell me, then. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"All we gotta do is find one of Gappy's lackeys, and just get her to fix me up, right? I even got Reimu helpin' me out to find one of em'!" Marisa says, pointing into the room compared to the drinking miko. <Marisa_Kirisame>	((*containing)) *	Alice_Margatroid frowns, crossing her arms. <Alice_Margatroid>	You sure she'd actually do that for you? <Alice_Margatroid>	Youkai don't often tend to like you all that much. You're probably just annoying to her. <Alice_Margatroid>	If she can bring people back to life, what reason would she have/ <Alice_Margatroid>	? <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Probl'y, I bet Reimu could convince her to do it. She does know her pretty well, I think. And she'd do it because she's pals with Reimu, and Reimu keeps the place running." *	Alice_Margatroid looks over at Reimu, not really convinced of this yet. From the looks of it, the shrine maiden seems pretty rosy-faced from drink. <Alice_Margatroid>	.. I'd argue against that from observation of the current, but it seems valid enough. I honestly don't know why someone like that would give into your demands, but... <Alice_Margatroid>	I suppose it's worth a try.. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Right! And now that you're here, ya can help us find Gap-hag's lackeys too! Makes things easier for everyone, eh?" <Reimu_Hakurei>	Yeah, well, I think it's going to cost me or something. Yukari will probably want a favor from me-- probably something stupid, I'm sure. You're gonna owe me, Marisa.... <Marisa_Kirisame>	"I can owe you one when I'm not dead." Marisa retorts. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Only mystery left is wonderin' who the heck put me six feet under, I guess." <Alice_Margatroid>	Your body was.. thoroughly scorched and burned beyond natural repair. Someone who can handle fire at their fingertips, of course. <Alice_Margatroid>	... I don't think it matters too much, though. *	Marisa_Kirisame looks down to think for a moment, feeling her chin. "That could be just about everyone." <Reimu_Hakurei>	Next time, Marisa, just use Master Spark like you always do. That usually seems to work. Sheesh... <Alice_Margatroid>	Or toss up a distress flare before you.. well. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"I think I woulda done that. Both of those, in fact." *	Alice_Margatroid sighs, gaze wandering downwards. It's honestly hard to keep images out of her mind right now, and it's already affecting her mood. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"All this talks make me feel a bit morbid, actually." Marisa says with a frown. <Reimu_Hakurei>	Bah...I think we've wasted too much time. And...I drank a little too much. If Alice comes with us, we should be able to beat up all those youkai faster than before, so it should be fine if we rest a night... <Alice_Margatroid>	... A little morbid, hunh. Ugh, let's just.. not talk about it. But, yes, Reimu has the proper idea, I think. <Alice_Margatroid>	I'd rather not leave you two to go off and do whatever. I'm honestly sick of staying home all the time. <Reimu_Hakurei>	Well good, Marisa's your girlfriend or whatever, you should help out a bit or something. *	Reimu_Hakurei shrugs nonchalantly, finishing off her final dish of sake before finding a place to set it down, stretching a little. *	Marisa_Kirisame almost wants to tell Alice how much she'd love to ride Alice around Gensoukyou herself, but the thought makes her herself a bit sad, so she ends up just frowning sadly and crossing her arms. <Alice_Margatroid>	... *	Alice_Margatroid coughs a little, diverting her gaze. <Alice_Margatroid>	You're acting like I wouldn't help to begin with. <Reimu_Hakurei>	Eh. Either way is fine with me, as long as you do help. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Ah, well, I guess you two do... what you need to... then." Marisa says, not feeling very tired, obviously. For being dead, she sure doesn't need to do much sleeping, oddly. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"A-ah, Alice." Marisa says, looking back up. <Reimu_Hakurei>	Why don't you go read or something? -- DON'T get in trouble. The last thing I need is people complaining to me about you or something. In the meantime, I'm going to sleep...goodnight. <Alice_Margatroid>	... Yeah? What? *	Marisa_Kirisame throws a dirty look at Reimu, before turning her attention back to Alice, looking sheepish. "I'm, uh, feeling kinda bad I'm puttin' you through all this, actually. It's not like I really plan for this, ya know." <Marisa_Kirisame>	(Ugh, I sound so morbid again. Being dead sucks.) *	Reimu_Hakurei offers a sleepy wave to Alice and Marisa before going off to find the nearest bed to collapse on. <Alice_Margatroid>	... Egh. I don't think we planned for any of this.. *	Marisa_Kirisame frowns more deeply. "It must be especially hard on you." <Alice_Margatroid>	Well.. of course it is. *	Alice_Margatroid sighs again, moving to go sit over on the side of one of the beds, closing her eyes and holding her head in her hands. *	Marisa_Kirisame looks pretty down. She'd give just about anything to be able to give Alice a hug right now. *	Marisa_Kirisame decides to take Reimu up on that offer, maybe something to read would indeed taker her thoughts off the whole 'being dead' thing. <Marisa_Kirisame>	She floats through the door, invariably sending a few odd fairys running off in terror, down towards The Voile. She's supposed to be sleeping in the house anyway, what do they expect her to do, hoard books in the guest room? <Alice_Margatroid>	... You'd better not go into that library. *	Alice_Margatroid looks out the door, giving Marisa an accusing look. <Alice_Margatroid>	You know you're not welcome there. *	Marisa_Kirisame catches the remark, poking her head back through. "Ah, we got stuck here over some curse or whatever everyone is panicking about. I'm sure it's not really important. I'm a guest anyway, right? I don't even think Purple-Pants is home, so whatever." <Marisa_Kirisame>	"What are they gonna do, kill me?" <Alice_Margatroid>	Maybe exorcise you. <Alice_Margatroid>	I'm sure she can do that. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Over my dead body, she won't." Marisa retorts, completely aware of the irony. <Alice_Margatroid>	.... <Alice_Margatroid>	Right...  <Alice_Margatroid>	.. I'd go to sleep, but, well, you know, the whole difficulty in sleeping because I need so little of it. I'm almost tempted to just follow you around to make sure you don't end up in the state of "no longer existing". *	Reimu_Hakurei is now known as Fluff|Sleep *	Marisa_Kirisame shrugs, although since only her head is through the door at this point, that doesn't convey much. "If ya want to, be my guest, I just wanna find something to read. Gotta take my mind off the whole death thing." <Alice_Margatroid>	Then go find a book from somewhere else. Just stay out of that library, or maybe I won't help you. There's bound to be books elsewhere in the mansion. *	Marisa_Kirisame frowns and sighs. "Fine, fine, since you asked. I doubt there'll be much interesting outside the library, though." <Alice_Margatroid>	Yes, because there's obviously nothing interesting in such a large mansion of such old age... *	Alice_Margatroid moves to lay down on her bed, some of her dolls landing on the floor or headboards nearby. She stares up at the ceiling and elegant wallpaper, far from sleepy, and she almost considers just going to find something to drink to help her. After all, no sleeping pills this time. But, she figures, she might as well just be patient.. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Knowing this place, everything else will be in one of those crazy other languages they speak." Marisa says with exhasperation, before putting her head back through the door. <Alice_Margatroid>	[Crazy other languages, huh...] *	Alice_Margatroid laughs softly as she switches over to English for that moment, before just closing her eyes and idly fiddling with the wing of one of her nearby dolls. *	Marisa_Kirisame says through the door, "You oughta teach me that sometime." before going off to haunt the mansion halls for something else to entertain her.
 * Marisa_Kirisame 'sits' in Reimu's room, her arms folded and looking displeased, as she watches Reimu do nothing but drink. She had her own room provided, but she hasn't actually used it.
