@Rezod92: Fair enough then. Fran accepted.
@Rezod92: I think Fran is okay for the most part, but my only concerns are the lack of verbal communication (which is fairly minor in the grand scheme of things) and the way you might choose to handle Blasted Tree if Fran's forced to use it. This is more with regards to the drawbacks, as we either go Apo (which more or less shuts her down) or something more in line with how FGO presents it (debilitation into she recovers).
@Rezod92: Rejected. Reasoning is as follows:
  • Size. This thing's just way too big to work around, which would naturally force me to be exclusionary when it comes to scenarios. Anything in closed spaces indoors would thus have to be designed to accommodate something 8 meters tall (which is huge, obviously).
  • Being a purely mechanical entity. This is a fantasy world with fantasy elements, so repairing an existence like this would require magic capable of recreating and manipulating complex and delicate parts, at which point the character naturally gets outscaled because question of "why would we repair this when we could just make it but better" starts to pop up.
  • Heavy reliance on firearms. In a world like this, you have no way of repairing ammunition stores without making it yourself or some external out-of-universe cheat method (at least when it comes to traditional firearms). This is before we get into the problem of magic, because if you can't break through magic shields, you're a giant target that'll get blown to smithereens in no time. Anything else you could probably just bulldoze through, sure, but at that point there's either zero threat or the character may as well be DOA. No real in-between.


Also, your image is broken, but that's an aside compared to the more pressing matters at hand.
@Raineh Daze: Mokotan ok. Gotta figure out how to handle the Saria stuff, but we can probably do what we did for Lily or something.

Do believe that we're at capacity for Touhou characters now though. Honestly did not expect this many to begin with, but, well, here we are now.

Only thing to note might be how the possession in this case isn't a one in the traditional sense and doesn't take direct control of the possessed, but regardless.
@Rezod92: Aye, still open. Would like to be aware of what's cooking, though.
Kochiya Sanae
Aventon — Forest Outskirts

Given Youmu's natural inclination to do what was "right" when not honor-bound by her mistress, it was rather unsurprising to Sanae that the half-ghost gardener was in favor of pursuing whatever it was that had driven the aggressive "earthmane boar" from where it usually called home. The boar itself seemed to display no reason to be so aggressive besides it's prodigious size, however, which didn't exactly bode well with regards to what might be lurking deeper in the forest...

But that mattered little when there was the possibility of the threat simply cascading further out of control if left unchecked. Though the shrine maiden had intended to return to Aventon once the source of the hunter's worries had been discovered, a part of her was left concerned enough to simply follow after Youmu and Joker in their pursuit. Hopefully, Lewa and Remilia would join them ere long, but who knew how long that would take. She couldn't really say anything about Lewa, of course, but given what she knew of the Scarlet Devil it wouldn't have been surprising in the least if she didn't work on the same sense of time that the rest of them did.

To that end, traveling further into the forest was a straightforward enough matter; with the now-deceased boar's muscling past (and uprooting) trees left and right and Sanae's choice to simply float up past the treetops to direct the group in the general direction away from the town, finding whatever was at the root of the issue wouldn't take anywhere as long as incident resolution traditionally did.

What was harder to notice further away from the ground, though, were more odd marks upon both the trees and the ground beneath their feet. Sanae herself would be unable to notice it, high above the ground as she was, but those closer to the ground (and a keen eye) would find more signs of something subtly unsettling on top of all that.



Coupled with Lewa's efforts to calm the boar's anxious heart, Remilia's magic would make steady progress healing the beast's wound. It wouldn't take long, however, for the reason for the wound's nasty appearance to reveal itself to the pair. Once the swollen, rotting flesh had been cleared away, the injury itself—which seemed more like deep puncture wounds opposite one another than the distinct clamping down of jaws—could be seen. Closing that wound would have simply been the end of things in one sense of the word, but it wouldn't take long before some impurities within the boar's blood would begin to siphon out of the open wound.

To be more specific, a deeply-hued, semi-translucent purple fluid would begin to pour from the open wound before any sort of meaningful healing began in turn. Despite this fact, the boar seemed to remain as it was. Maybe the fact that the two strangers were relieving it of its pain was being acknowledged in a sense, but given how the pair was removing what ailed it, maybe that was to be expected.

@VitaVitaAR@EchoWolff@Izurich@Lugubrious

Aventon — Hunter's Lodge

While it was mildly odd to Kendrick that Anne seemed to be confused by her ability to read that document, the older man seemed less concerned about the minutiae of how she knew and more that she did. Any information was good information as they were busy trying to piece together what little they knew, and if the woman who had saved the kids was able to get that from a paper that may as well have been useless, then what reason did he have to complain?

But what seemed to be more noteworthy than even that was how the necklace was beginning to react to Millie. The fact that it had begun to move towards her body lent credence to Anne's own theories, but something about the situation piqued Kendrick's interest. Sure, the fact that it was reacting to her presence did imply that the enemy was tracking her...

But why, then, would it only react now instead of when they had first opened the box here?

"Mmm... There's too many questions and not enough answers. Why would someone give you things like that in the first place? If they were tracking Millie, wouldn't it have been easier to not let us know they could to begin with?" he asked before the glow upon the necklace intensified for a brief moment.

At the same time, though, Millie—who had up until this point been left in her deathlike sleep—seemed to almost... Stir in response. The young girl's body shifted around in what looked to be mild discomfort, and a soft groan could barely be heard slipping through her lips...

@Drifting Pollen
Tachibana Masaru
Abandoned Mansion — Nagano Prefecture


By some miracle or another, Masaru's arrows had failed to accidentally strike either of his allies despite his insistence on blindly firing away towards their enemies' last known position. Rather, it seemed like one of the better scenarios had panned out instead; with no apparent threat bearing down on them during their brief period of disorientation, the three were left unpressured as their senses returned to them.

Unfortunately, their enemy reforming from the remnants they had left behind made it clear that a battle of attrition was little more than a fool's errand, and the others, it seemed, had picked up on that fact as well.

With his vision more or less back to normal, Masaru wasted no time in regrouping near the other Agents before firing a few pre-emptive shots towards the regenerating ashigaru and arquebusiers in an attempt to cover Sakura as she worked her magic.

"Don't worry about me; this quiver's infinite. Hell, if you want to grab some arrows for yourself, be my guest," the archer responded as he grabbed a few and waggled them in front of Zhao before firing them in a cone towards the ashigaru still hunkering down in the hallway. "On that note: you any good at darts?"

@Raineh Daze@Psyker Landshark
@Eviledd1984: Honestly, if there's nothing you feel strong enough to just try and ask for the committal go-ahead, it might be worth spending some more time to consider what you might want to run (especially in the context of the cast as it stands right now).
@Eviledd1984: Uh... No Sakuya. Nah, ain't gon' let timestop fly, and Sakuya without timestop ain't Sakuya in my eyes.
I will admit that I'm not suuuuper well versed in Soulcalibur stuff, but both of those characters seem fine to me after a brief glance at info stuff? Would have to see how that pans out, though.
Richard Evans
Seasalt Caverns — B2F


"Uh... Huh."

Though he hadn't said anything about his own feelings on the two women who had appeared in front of them after their explanation, the skepticism that Richard possessed was rather evident from the way he was regarding them. It was hard to accept what was being said at face value, regardless of the conviction that they said it with. After all, placing the fate of the country at stake was just a bit too absurd in terms of stakes.

...But something about that strange stone hanging off the long-haired girl's neck did feel slightly unnerving. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to at least see what the actual problem was...?

Either way, though, the pair seemed more than inclined to leave the cave behind them, and it seemed that they didn't particularly mind him tagging along. All the better, really; with both of his team members banged up, encountering a fight on the way back would be at least somewhat problematic.

The awkward silence back had to be filled, though, and if he was to capitalize on any instinct of his about the supposed issue at hand being something that wasn't actually being dramatized, now was as good a time as any to do so.

"So, uh... How exactly do you lose, uh... Spirits? Ghosts? I assume it's one or the other," he asked, hands in his pockets as Luna followed closely at his heels. "...Actually, how do you even have them to begin with?"

If anything, starting on the premise that those were real was a good a place as any to try figuring things out. Even if this was all a farce, idle conversation was better than nothing.
