*	Marisa_Kirisame is riding her brand new Makaian broom, polished up and glimmering white crystaline wood, and apparently enchanted with several spells, and she carries a large sack, which appears to be full. *	Sakuya_Izayoi wanders the main floor, cleaning in her usual work to keep her mind off of recent events. She does hope that Remilia's doing okay, and it's been hard to sleep calmly at night, but all she can really do is keep on working and have good faith. *	Marisa_Kirisame stops at the front door, looking around and half expecting the usual welcoming service before she can even open the door, but it's apprently quiet outside the mansion. She's tempted too to just bust down the door as usual, but she opts just to give the door a few very loud thumps with her boot. *	Sakuya_Izayoi jumps a little at the sound of quite loud knocking at the front door.. or what sounds like it. Why would there be visitors at this time? There's been nothing planned! Hoping it's only some dumb fairy that lost their toys to private property or something, she puts her cleaning materials away and wanders down the front hall to go answer the door. 	... Oh. It's you. What do you want? 	"Yo." Marisa greets, waving with her free hand. "You seen Reimu around here still? I gotta borrow her for a bit." 	Reimu? I haven't been paying too much attention, she might still be.. 	Come on in, although I'll be watching you. We don't need any more trouble. 	"Sweet." Marisa says, with a grin, floating on into the house past the maid. "Heh, I was feeling nice today, so I actually got a few things to return, so don't worry about watching me." Marisa sneers. 	... No, I'm certainly going to follow you anyways. Watching over guests is my job. *	Sakuya_Izayoi narrows her eyes in a bit of a threat, closing the door behind Marisa and striding calmly a few meters from the witch. *	Marisa_Kirisame shrugs. "Whatever. Do what you want, then." she says as she floats through the entry room towards one of the halls. She's flying towards the last place she saw Reimu at, from before they left to revive Marisa. "She went back to the same room, right?" 	I already said that I wasn't necessarily keeping track of her.. 	Probably, though. 	"Didn't ya just say keeping track of guests is your job, ze?" She asks casually, with a stifled chuckle added to the end. 	Only the particularly dangerous ones. 	Either way, go on ahead and find said room if you're so concerned in seeing Reimu, I'll just stay outside of the room to make sure you don't get into anything. 	"I reckon Reimu's more of a threat then I am." Marisa says, grinning again, turning a corner and going down a hall before they arrive at the room Reimu should be in. 	Sure, sure. 	At least we can sit down like civilized people and have tea with her. 	"I might be more inclined to sit down and take a break if you lot would play a bit less rough every time I visit..." she says in a lone tone as she opens the door. 	If you would stop being rough with us, then maybe. *	Sakuya_Izayoi steps back, leaning against the wall. *	Marisa_Kirisame looks into the room that Reimu actually ought to be in. It's empty. Turning back to Sakuya, she asks, "Well, she's not here. What gives?" *	Sakuya_Izayoi gives Marisa a bit of a displeased glare. <Sakuya_Izayoi>	I already told you that I wasn't sure if she was here or not. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Well, maybe I shouldn't have wasted my time with the door, then, and just snuck in. Could have gotten away with some books. What a waste." <Sakuya_Izayoi>	I would have caught you had you done that, you realize.. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Geez, I don't even know where to look. Is she in your kitchen making udon or something? She could be anywhere in this oversized house." <Sakuya_Izayoi>	That's quite your own problem, not mine. <Marisa_Kirisame>	(Actually, the kitchen idea might not be too far-fetched, with all the donations she doesn't get) *	Marisa_Kirisame starts going from room to room, since apparently a more thourough search is going to be the answer, checking through the guest hall on this floor. *	Sakuya_Izayoi quietly follows Marisa around, finding this all terribly stupid. <Sakuya_Izayoi>	I already told you that I've not seen her much at all ever since the party, so you're better off looking elsewhere. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Well, she said she'd be here to deal with that curse thing, so she has to be in this place somewhere." *	Flandre_Scarlet Shows up rather quietly down the hall from where Marisa is going, standing right in her way, in fact. She doesn't say anything, seeming content to stare at Marisa as she goes and hold onto a stuffed toy that she brought up from her room. <Sakuya_Izayoi>	Ah-- *	Sakuya_Izayoi stiffens up a little when she sees Flandre show up nearly out of nowhere. Looking back and forth between the two a few times, she crosses over to stand by Flandre, lightly reaching down to touch her shoulder. *	Marisa_Kirisame stops at the sight of Flandre appearing rather abrubtly, one of the corners of her lips creasing into a frown, not really making any other sorts of movement. *	Flandre_Scarlet doesn't seem to acknowledge Sakuya's presence as she continues to stare rather intently at the magician. <Flandre_Scarlet>	Black-white...you left before playing with me the other day. *	Flandre_Scarlet says simply with a sort of monotone, but the stitchings beginning to pop on her doll betray her feelings a little. <Sakuya_Izayoi>	.. Oh dear. *	Marisa_Kirisame frowns. "Well, I was a bit... eh... disposed of at the time. It wouldn't have been any fun to play with me, I'd bet." *	Sakuya_Izayoi looks up at Marisa, tempted to tell her to run-- but running would only lead to being chased, adrenaline pumping, bloodletting and broken bones. She gives the witch something of an intent look, hoping she'll handle this situation carefully.. *	Marisa_Kirisame seems to lean back in the air, folding her hands behind her neck, not really seeming terribly threatened, although she knew full well how destructive that little girl could be. <Flandre_Scarlet>	But-- you were supposed to play with me! I was really looking forward to it, you know... *	Flandre_Scarlet frowns as her toy splits open due to how hard she was squeezing it, although Flandre doesn't actually seem to notice. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Hmmm..." Marisa takes a second to think, when she comes up with a great idea. A really mean idea, but the one she was thinking of seemed really fitting for her intentions. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Well, we could play a game right now, but" Marisa says, but continues, emphasizing the 'but', "I heard that your friend Patchy promised to play your favorite game with you when I talked to her earlier." *	Sakuya_Izayoi stiffens up a little at this statement, getting a vague idea of what Marisa's trying to get at... <Sakuya_Izayoi>	... You never spoke with Patchouli.. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Oh, sure I did. Was a while back, but we talked at length about Flandre, and how she was planning a really big surprise for her. Guess I spoiled it early. Ah well." <Sakuya_Izayoi>	You.. do realize that Patchouli would rather burn you to ashes than talk civilly with you.. *	Marisa_Kirisame grins like she's never grinned before. "I'm. WELL. aware." <Sakuya_Izayoi>	Makes me wonder why you come back here all the time.. <Marisa_Kirisame>	Marisa is grinning from ear to ear, but her words are doled out with venom. <Flandre_Scarlet>	Ehh? But Patchy never plays with me... Did she really say that she would? *	Flandre_Scarlet raises an eyebrow at this. In actuality, Patchouli seemed to avoid her most of the time. Still, she is sort of curious as to whether or not this is true. <Sakuya_Izayoi>	I don't remember her saying such a thing. That, and Patchouli's around all the time, Marisa's not.. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Well, it WAS a surprise, so she'll probably deny it if you ask. If she didn't play with you before, it's because she was probably too busy working on her surprise." <Flandre_Scarlet>	Hmm... *	Flandre_Scarlet seems to take a moment to think about this, glancing down at the state of her doll before setting it gently on the ground against the wall. With that, she looks back up at Marisa again, making direct eye contact before, in a blur of movement, she comes to stand just in front of Marisa. <Flandre_Scarlet>	Okay. But, you have to play with us, too since you didn't the last time. <Sakuya_Izayoi>	... Flandre, would it be okay that I watched? I wouldn't want you to hurt the house too much on accident. *	Sakuya_Izayoi frowns, really discouraged over how she didn't manage to convince Flandre otherwise.. and having Patchouli and Marisa in the same room seems a bit catastrophic if done for too long.. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Ah, sure, but let me go find Reimu first, and we'll all play a nice, fun game." Marisa says, rather bemused. Although we gotta use spellcard rules or else it won't be fun, okay?" <Flandre_Scarlet>	Ahh, do you want to play, too, Sakuya? That sounds like it would be fun! -- Also, black-white, I saw Reimu go outside earlier. But that was a while ago, is she going to come back?  <Sakuya_Izayoi>	No, no, I would rather just watch, thank you...  *	Sakuya_Izayoi gives Marisa a knowing look when Flandre confirms that Reimu left.  <Sakuya_Izayoi>	I told you she was probably gone. Look what you've gotten yourself into!  <Flandre_Scarlet>	If Reimu comes, she can play with us, too, okay?   <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Well, we can't have any fun without Reimu, right? We'll just have to wait a bit. Unless security here is as shoddy as it normally is, I doubt she'd have left the place entirely, eh? <Sakuya_Izayoi>	... Honestly, I've not seen her, and you're just insisting that she's around. *	Flandre_Scarlet giggles softly before reaching out to take Marisa's hand, fully intending on dragging her over to the Voile. <Flandre_Scarlet>	Let's not waste time waiting, though, I'm bored...! <Sakuya_Izayoi>	After all, Flandre wants to play with you so badly, why put it off? *	Sakuya_Izayoi can't help but smirk a little-- she's starting to get more on the side of seeing Marisa struggle, just because it's sweet payback for all the times in the past. She'll just have to make sure that not too much gets damaged. <Sakuya_Izayoi>	Also, could we keep the play out of the Voile, please? <Sakuya_Izayoi>	I'll go get Patchouli if you want to see her so badly.. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Well, whatever. Flan, you know that the game will be a competition, right? You can't help Patchy and just ignore her, or else you'll let her win. Ya gotta treat both of us fair and square, heh heh." *	Sakuya_Izayoi starts down the stairs, glancing over her shoulder. <Sakuya_Izayoi>	Now, it's impolite to force your hosts to play your game.. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"It's just as impolite to make the guest lose first, maid." <Flandre_Scarlet>	It's no fun if somebody cheats, so that means you gotta play fair, too, Marisa..! Um...Sakuya, if you're going to get Patchy, should we go outside? <Sakuya_Izayoi>	Yes, I think that would be for the best. You two go ahead outside, I'll go get Patchouli.. *	Sakuya_Izayoi sighs, stopping once she gets to the main level and going off towards the Voile's entrance. <Flandre_Scarlet>	Okay~ C'mon, Marisa, this will be fun! *	Flandre_Scarlet says as she moves down the hall, keeping a firm grip on the Magician's wrist so as to drag her along if she doesn't follow willingly. *	Marisa_Kirisame bemusedly complies, following along at Flandre's pace, thinking of all the ways she can try and clobber Patchy in a danmaku fight. Feeling a bit of a squeeze when she zones out too much, she winces and says, "Let's not be too rough, ze." *	Sakuya_Izayoi darts off into the Voile, locking the door behind her so Marisa doesn't get any bad ideas. It might be a few moments before she returns. <Flandre_Scarlet>	Huh? I'm not being rough, though. C'mon, hurry up... <Marisa_Kirisame>	"I'm going, I'm going." Marisa replies. (Sheesh, no wonder they lock her up if this is her definition of delicate) *	Flandre_Scarlet finally leads Marisa outside, pausing once outside to look up at the stars with a big smile. <Flandre_Scarlet>	I like the sky... *	Sakuya_Izayoi returns outside not long afterwards, obviously leading the short parade-- she moves to step aside and seat herself on a nearby bench. *	Marisa_Kirisame briefly looks surprised, raiding her eyebrow, amused that the horribly accidentally murderous vampire would have much in common with her. "Really? I like the night sky too." *	Patchouli_Knowledge follows, grudgingly so, after Sakuya, slipping out the front doors that were left open for her. Robes waving softly with each of her footsteps, she glances over the two that she's been brought out here to meet with-- and makes a displeased, rattling sigh when she sees that Marisa is, indeed here. <Patchouli_Knowledge>	Oh, joy... *	Marisa_Kirisame turns around to give Patchouli a sinister smile, retaliating with, "Yes, joy indeed." sounding 'glad' but not doing much to hide seething anger. <Flandre_Scarlet>	Mm, the sky is really pretty. *	Flandre_Scarlet releases Marisa as Patchouli arrives, spinning around to face the pajama mage. <Flandre_Scarlet>	Hi Patchy~ You're going to play with us, right? *	Patchouli_Knowledge takes a long moment when Marisa says this, and a surprisingly broad grin sweeps over her face, perhaps unnatural for some mere humanoid magician. <Patchouli_Knowledge>	I'm utterly astonished you had the nerve to come back here, to bring me out into the open like this.. I didn't particularly want to, but if you so badly want to relive all that you did.. *	Patchouli_Knowledge looks over to Flandre when she speaks up, this look on her face quickly dying back into her dark-faced neutrality. <Patchouli_Knowledge>	I'd say no if I could, but getting you upset is not on my list of priorities, so.. "yes". *	Marisa_Kirisame grins. She doesn't stray too far from Flandre just yet, speaking up. "Well, now that you're here, I actually had a surprise of my own." She says as she pulls out the large sack she had slung over her shoulder. "I had a nice present ready just to give to you, Patchy, but I think I have a better idea." <Patchouli_Knowledge>	"A nice present". I have no real intention of partaking in whatever struggle you wish to instigate, but... if you've malicious intent.. *	Marisa_Kirisame turns to Flandre. "I was gonna give this to Pajama-Pants, but I think you deserve this present instead." she says, holding out the sack to her. *	Flandre_Scarlet 's wings flash brightly in anticipation as she happily claps her hands together. <Flandre_Scarlet>	Hooray~ I haven't gotten to play with Patchy before. I'll go easy on you guys, okay? *	Flandre_Scarlet does pause for a moment, looking curiously at the sack before taking it from Marisa. <Flandre_Scarlet>	What is it, though? Bags are fun to play with for a little while, but... <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Well, what do you do with your favorite toys?" <Sakuya_Izayoi>	... *	Sakuya_Izayoi comes to a bit more attention when she realizes that Marisa's offering Flandre something that she can't really make out. <Flandre_Scarlet>	Well, I play with them... That's what you're supposed to do. -- Did you forget how to play with toys, black-white? <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Hmm... well, why don't you remind me by demonstrating it on that sack?" *	Patchouli_Knowledge drifts up into the air, a crackle of magical energy coursing over her and her wavering robes. She frowns a little at this brief interaction, getting one heck of a bad vibe from it-- the ground not far from her feet cracks and twists a little. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Just... give it everything you got." <Patchouli_Knowledge>	... There's explosives in that bag, isn't there? *	Flandre_Scarlet shrugs and looks into the bag, finding only books inside. Flandre look confused, now. <Flandre_Scarlet>	But...books are boring unless they have nice pictures. We can look for pretty pictures later, okay? *	Flandre_Scarlet sets aside the sack of books, spreading her wings before rising up into the air before beginning to suddenly radiate large amounts of power. She said that she would be going easy this fight, but that only really leaves room to question exactly what is 'going easy' to the little vampire. <Patchouli_Knowledge>	.... <Patchouli_Knowledge>	Books? <Patchouli_Knowledge>	Give them to me. *	Patchouli_Knowledge drifts out a little, gesturing to Flandre to stop. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Oh! You wouldn't take away the poor kid's present, would you?" Marisa asks innocently. <Patchouli_Knowledge>	Those are mine, I'm certain of it. <Flandre_Scarlet>	Hmm? You can have the books if you win, okay? <Patchouli_Knowledge>	You would do such a thing. <Patchouli_Knowledge>	... Flandre, they're my books. <Patchouli_Knowledge>	She would only bring them here if they were mine-- she's trying to get to you destroy them so I'll be sad. <Flandre_Scarlet>	But I thought Marisa gave them to me...doesn't that mean that they're mine? <Patchouli_Knowledge>	No, she took them from me and gave them to you. <Patchouli_Knowledge>	I did not give her them.. <Patchouli_Knowledge>	She stole them from me. *	Patchouli_Knowledge nods at the witch in question, before momentarily glancing down at the open sack sitting on the ground-- it looks like a combination of novels and magical theory. Definitely her kind of thing.. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"I think that's preposterous. Flandre, I gave those books to you, right? They belong to you now, I reckon." <Patchouli_Knowledge>	... Shut up, Kirisame. It's no surprise that with that level of wickedness about you, I decided not to hold back that time. <Patchouli_Knowledge>	I will happily treat you to the very same trial-by-fire if you keep this up... <Marisa_Kirisame>	"I think Patchy just wants to steal your present." Marisa says, faking a look of concern. <Flandre_Scarlet>	Ehh... We can worry about that later, this is taking a long time to get started. But, if you win the game, I promise I'll let you have them, Patchy. *	Flandre_Scarlet wasn't really intending on keeping them even if Patchy lost, surely Flanre would lose interest very quickly with such books. <Patchouli_Knowledge>	... Fine. But if you win, you can't destroy them, okay? <Marisa_Kirisame>	"Well, I suppose the winner will just have to decide what we do with them." *	Marisa_Kirisame floats away a bit from Flandre, putting some distance between her and the other two. <Marisa_Kirisame>	"And we're using spellcard rules, right, Flandre? It wouldn't be fun for us otherwise." <Patchouli_Knowledge>	It means you'd die a second time otherwise, you mean.. *	Patchouli_Knowledge grins maliciously-- the whole idea behind the present has easily stirred up her intent dislike now, and it's hard to let go of.. <Sakuya_Izayoi>	It's too early in the night to start talking of ripping throats.. let's try not to do that, okay? *	Marisa_Kirisame changes her turn rather quickly when Patchy spoils her secret again, while confirming her thoughts on the matter, putting up an evil grin but struggling to let her expression slip to one of anger. "We'll see whom gets clobbered by whom." <Flandre_Scarlet>	Fine, fine. I'll use 10 spellcards, so get ready!
 * Marisa_Kirisame flies over the lake and through the front gates, apparently unhindered by any door guards or lake pests to get into the mansion. Of course, this was the easy part of each visit, Marisa knew, but this time she wasn't here to steal anything. Yet.
