>Head to Maris's house

>What is happening at Marisa's house?

[Neovereign]

> Head to Marisa's house, then.

>Head to Maris's house

>What is happening at Marisa's house?

> You head over to Marisa's house.
> The Hakurei god is introducing itself.
> You shortly arrive at the front door.
>_

[Philosopher]

>Go to knock
->Pause with uncertainty

>Would a god of yokai exterminator really want a youkai in its presence?
->Even one that found favor in its sight?

>Shake our head
->Take a breath to ease our worries
-->Give a hesitant knock

>Shake our head
->Take a breath to ease our worries
-->Give a hesitant knock

> You gather yourself to knock.
> " ill... Go get it." Marisa's voice speaks, as the door opens.
> You're greeted by the sight of a confused Marisa, an angry Reimu tied by seemingly nothing, and...
> " Ah. The one that prayer was 'funded' by. Nice of you to join us."
> The Hakurei God grins towards you, just as you felt before. Though she dips back into a proper smile.
> "Nice to properly meet you. Im the Hakurei God. Better known as that now, at least."
> That outfit... That crescent staff... That slight consideration of checking the village for any tempura drifting into your mind - Er, rather, her lack of legs... It can't be. Your ability must be wonky.

[Philosopher]

>We're blaming Zun
->This does explain why Reimu's god grinned at us

>Glance from Mima to Reimu then back
->"I'm embarrassed to admit I don't know what the proper etiquette is here."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Can our ability tell if we're being actively trolled?

>We're blaming Zun

>Glance from Mima to Reimu then back
->"I'm embarrassed to admit I don't know what the proper etiquette is here."

>Can our ability tell if we're being actively trolled?

> Your ability isnt good at things regarding yourself. Though it does tell that the person ahead of you is the Hakurei God, as they claim.
> " She's surely joking..."
> "What more must i show you for you to believe in this reality, Reimu?" Mima manifests a yin-yang orb, spinning it on the tip of her finger like a basketball.
>_

[Philosopher]

>"She's not. Mima is the Hakurei god."

>Turn to Mima
->"Are you also at the shrine currently?"

>Can our ability give us the lecture that gave Watatsuki no Toyohime her ability?

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"She's not. Mima is the Hakurei god."

>Hold off on this for now.

//Wanna check one thing first.

>Can our ability tell if this is actually Mima or if it's the true God just using her form?

[Neovereign]

>"She's not. Mima is the Hakurei god."

>Turn to Mima
->"Are you also at the shrine currently?"

>Can our ability give us the lecture that gave Watatsuki no Toyohime her ability?

>Hold off on this for now.

//Wanna check one thing first.

>Can our ability tell if this is actually Mima or the true God using her form?

> You know that Mima is the Hakurei God, rather than it taking her form.

> "Well yeah. I can't just let the shrine get destroyed like it often does. Even I get tired of that." Mima replies.

> Your ability can't really talk to you, you're pretty sure. But just understanding something like that would be easy. You possess forbidden knowledge, after all.
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Do we know if Mima was always the Hakurei God or was this a recent development (such as ascending to replace the original, as an example)?

[Philosopher]

>"BREWTHM."

>Access the knowledge that gave Watatsuki no Toyohime her ability

[Neovereign]

>Do we know if Mima was always the Hakurei God or was this a recent development (such as ascending to replace the original, as an example)?

>"BREWTHM."

>Access the knowledge that gave Watatsuki no Toyohime her ability

> It seems as though the latter is the case.
> "Eh? Oh, that thing. They're not bothering the shrine at least..."

> You start to try and understand the lessons that Toyohime was taught to attain her "ability".
> Seems easy enough. Is it really such a grand accomplishment? Ran could probably understand something like this.
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Do we know when this ascension took place? After Mystic Square?

>Do Reimu and Marisa believe she's the Hakurei God?

[Philosopher]

>What happened to the previous Hakurei god

>Try to create a link between here and Reimu's shrine

[Neovereign]

>Do we know when this ascension took place? After Mystic Square?

>Do Reimu and Marisa believe she's the Hakurei God?

>What happened to the previous Hakurei god

>Try to create a link between here and Reimu's shrine

> You know that it was pretty recent.
> Both girls are in disbelief.

> You think you'd say it was assimilated, so to speak, by Mima.

> You make your attempt... But nothing happens.
>_

[Philosopher]

>"Is this really the strangest thing you girls have seen?"

>Try to spirit Marisa, Reimu, Mima, and yourself to the Hakurei shrine.
->If it fails go over the lessons to see what we're missing or doing wrong.

[Kilgamayan]

> How did Mima assimilate the Hakurei god?

[Neovereign]

>"Is this really the strangest thing you girls have seen?"

>Try to spirit Marisa, Reimu, Mima, and yourself to the Hakurei shrine.
->If it fails go over the lessons to see what we're missing or doing wrong.

> "Reimu's god being Mima? I'd have to say so."
> "Whats weird is how a pretty uninteresting god made the orbs. You'd expect someone who can easily deal with Youkai. Yet the craftsman is just someone Kogasa could likely surpass." Mima speaks. "To be that much of a letdown. Well, that set expectations for the Hakurei God, when i would've gone through this well overprepared."

> You try, but get nowhere... You're doing everything right. Are you just not skilled enough?

> She seems to have used her knowledge and skills on things relating to the god, and even gaining faith through pretending to be it. She must've taken it quite seriously.

[Philosopher]

>"I prefer my enemies to be underwhelming to overwhelming."
->Give a Shrug
-->"That's just me.  I'm more curious why you'd want the role."

>The Hakurei god received faith?!

>Maybe it has to be separated dimension
->Try spiriting ourself to Makai
-->If that fails try the outside world

> "Its has its benefits. More importantly, why are people are causing shenanigans with Gensokyo and the barrier."
> "Afraid?" Reimu questions.
> "I could break out of yours seals before I became your god. Tampering with and fixing the barrier would be no issue. Im just curious."

> This one does...

> You fail both attempts...
>_

[Philosopher]

>"To cause Gensokyo's destruction."

>Do what Toyohime did to practice with ability when she first practiced.

>Is Mima lying?

[Neovereign]

>"To cause Gensokyo's destruction."

>Do what Toyohime did to practice with ability when she first practiced.

>Is Mima lying?

> "Hm..."

> "Do you have the doll?" Reimu questions impatiently.

> Mima is not.
>_

[Philosopher]

>"Yes, but I wish to animate it first."

>Use our own power to make the doll autonomous

[Neovereign]

>"Yes, but I wish to animate it first."

>Use our own power to make the doll autonomous

> You animate the doll with your energy. Though it doesn't move after...
>_

[Philosopher]

>Use our ability to watch Alice teach her dolls to move
->Do what she did

>Can souls heal from wounds
->Do we think we could cast a sliver of our soul into the doll?

[Kilgamayan]

> Does anyone lay claim to Reimu ownership, or could we claim her as our treasure without taking her from someone else (as claiming Alice would be taking her away from Shinki)?

> The doll should be animate now...
> Some can.
> You don't know. Youd assume so.

> No one "treasures" Reimu. However, this also means you dont notice her as a treasure like Alice is.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Why would Alice be a treasure and Reimu not a treasure?
> Could we claim the Hakurei Shrine as our treasure? If not, why not?

[Neovereign]

> Why would Alice be a treasure and Reimu not a treasure?
> Could we claim the Hakurei Shrine as our treasure? If not, why not?

> It seems no one is treasuring them to the extent that Alice is treasure.
> The Hakurei Shrine did not seem like a regular treasure either.
