16th Subterranean Rose ~ OH LOOK IT'S THAT THING AGAIN.

[littlemissfreud]

It's noisier than usual today, and the streets look busier too. Something odd is happening again, isn't it?

Well, I can't complain about this. Hi, everyone~!

Hello~

[littlemissfreud]

[YOU.

YOU.

YOUUUU.]

Oh... hi.

[nomnomguts]

[Me. 8)]

Gosh, it really has been quite a while... Ah! There aren't any unpleasant feelings left over from last time, I hope?

[Yeaaaaaaah no. .____.]

[littlemissfreud]

[Maaaaaybe just a little! You probably can't tell, though.]

Unpleasant? Is that what that is? Hmm...

[Koishi is now reaching for a little something-something in her sleeve.

> Fight? Negotiate? Run? BAD END?]

[nomnomguts]

Well, it's certainly up to you! But I should hope that you don't take it personally. It isn't as if I got anything out of killing you.

[Smile smile smile]

[littlemissfreud]

[Shrug.] Well, I can't just let it go either. That wouldn't feel right.

[AND THEN SHE WHIPS OUT

a card.]

Wanna stay still for a moment?

[nomnomguts]

[sigh sigh sigh. Like she's the one being wronged here.] I'm sorry that you feel that way.

[But, eying that card with not-very-much interest. lol the first thing I thought of was YUGIOH saving the world with children's card games] But that depends. Are you going to show me anything interesting?

[littlemissfreud]

Dunno. Is this interesting?

[WE'LL TAKE THIS TO THE SHADOW REALM Koishi flies up into the air and holds the card above her head. Normally, she would also declare something cool about it as well, but this about more than just fun and games right now!

Suddenly there are BULLETS EVERYWHERE. Notably, giant lasers shooting out of the ground and back down to where you are, Riful.]

[nomnomguts]

[Oh huh, that was unexpected. BRB TAKING A LASER TO THE HEAD. And losing approximately half her face. Maybe she gets a few more holes through the torso as well.

What's left of her face just looks sort of vaguely surprised. And then pleased.]

Oh, well I do like that! What else can you do-- won't you show me?

[littlemissfreud]

[Looking like swiss cheese and still alive? Wow, that sure is surprising! Which is made apparent by Koishi gasping. And then looking curious.]

Oh wow, it's like that? Some power that must be. Using just these might not be enough.

[She appears to be ignoring your question in favour of pondering her next move. Muttering to herself and looking at her other cards, actually.]

[nomnomguts]

That's right! You are going to have to do a little better than that, you know~

Something more powerful, perhaps? A little more difficult to dodge...

[OBLIGINGLY JUST SITTING HEREfor now, but oh look part of her head is back and she's definitely regenerating.]

[littlemissfreud]

I'm not in Gensokyo anymore, so I don't even have to use these. Maybe I should do something like that... or is that too mean?

[She seems to be floating away without realizing it!]

[nomnomguts]

[Woo full regeneration. Anyway, Riful just starts to pick herself up off the... ground or something, I guess, and dust her dress off.]

So? Have you come to a decision yet?

[littlemissfreud]

Blehhh! I'm no good at planning. Might as well.

[There may be a sudden something stirring at the back of your mind. The slight feeling that soooomething is off here. And perhaps, about to get worse. Why no, this young lass has nothing to do with it!]

[nomnomguts]

[blinkblink and her smile acquires a sharp edge]

Tsk tsk, that is cheating, you know? [sort of a fluctuation in power here-- she's trying to block whatever it is Koishi's doing, but truth be told meddling with power was never Riful's strong suit and she doesn't really know what she's doing |D]

[littlemissfreud]

There's no set of rules for fighting here! You wanted something harder, so I'm upping the difficulty.

[You may start experiencing some odd visions. Or, uh, more accurately, reality may start looking and feeling like a surrealist painting.

Magical bullet fire is also resuming!]
