[08:44] It's in a part of rural japan where there's a small shrine to a god named Igukami, since time long past, he has given special powers to the shrine maidens who work there, and as such, the locals consider them to be peacekeepers of a sort. [08:45] Isananonushi is an evil god that was banished and sealed by Igukami long past... [08:48] and the land has been peaceful for it, as such the Shrine called Igu Jingu was errected at the site of the sealing. [08:48] This is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the snake god Igukami. It has no great religious influence, but no one would try to destroy it. The shrine maidens who serve Igukami have supernatural powers, and they have protected this land since the distant past. Igukami, who sealed away the winter demon god Isakanonushi, and who grants everlasting spring to this area, is truly a god among gods. [08:48] Within the grounds is a holy spring that bubbles up to create an open air bath for the shrine maidens to use. [08:48] There are also four stone monuments set at the four corners of the compound, which seal in Isakanonushi’s power. [08:51] Now.. let's begin... [08:51] This is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the snake god Igukami. It has no great religious influence, but no one would try to destroy it.

[08:51] There are also four stone monuments set at the four corners of the compound, which seal in Isakanonushi’s power. [08:51] (wrong item) [08:51] Thus you live your daily lives as shrine maidens of Igukami. Aside from the morning and evening purification and occasional rituals, this daily life does not change. You clean and cook and do laundry in the compound, and bathe in the hot spring. It is an uneventful life, but a blessed one. [08:53] << I'd like every player to now introduce their miko and what do they often do to spend their time. Speak in character please. >> [08:55] * Yumi-moko a small glittering light before the ghost-miko appears above the main shrine area, wearing a shinigami's robe, and on the back, spikes that are curved, which look like crossed cresent moons on her back, her hair is pink and her left eye is covered by the bang coming over it, the other eye a pink as she starts dusting the rafters along it [08:58] * Sister_Serena , a missionary from the Vatican, spends her time in the shrine leading the occasional Christian in prayer and psalm - and confession, for those confused about their faith. More often, she is a gentle, supporting presence, keeping the statues clean and the incense lit. It isn't her role to choose who the faithful worship - that they step into the light is enough. [09:00] * Miria is standing in the yard, sweeping leaves into an ever bigger pile, occasionally pausing and looking around as her white bunny ears twitch at a sound. She likes to spend her time outside when possible, the others get less angry when it's not their belongings that go up in flames. [09:02] * Yuko lied on her side in front of the open doors leading to the courtyard, enjoying the breeve as the wind chime above her . She was a young woman, with strong atheletic features and posture that led to the impression of a predatory cat lounging in the room. Her dark green haired was tied back with a pony tail, bounded by a neat ornamental bow that seemed like a minuature shrine in of itself. [09:04] * Yuko kept a pair of expensive foreign made shades nearby, as her bright cerulean eyes scrutinized a worn out black ledger book, ocassional nibbling on rice cracker from a nearby bowel while privately bemoaning the shrine's lack of income. [09:05] * Sister_Serena is a young woman with a soft and well-proportioned frame, easy green eyes and a thick ginger braid of hair. It's rare to see her without her perpetual, welcoming smile. [09:07] * Yumi-moko appearence is that of a youngish woman, looking about 19 or so. her body looks....subdued for some reason, her face often seems calm and serene, but she does seem to enjoy smiling when she can, her hair in a small ponytail behind her and the Crescent spikes glow softly as if made of moonlight themselves [09:08] * Miria is about average height, slim with long yellow hair hanging down her back. Her most noticeable feature is her big sky blue eyes that seem to radiate openness and purity. She is slightly twitchy at sudden sounds and tends to fix whoever she's talking to with her innocent light blue gaze. [09:13] * Sister_Serena is now known as SisterSerena [09:14] * Yuko looked around, then scratched her butt slightly as she went back ocassionally scribblig in a figure or two in her prized ledger. She has the distinction of having built an unlady like habbit of adopting mannerisms of the men she gambled and sparred with. Some of the local monks joked that if she had a few lessons, she would make a fine lady, but she derided such notions of her potential, often with a headlock or a thrown rice cracker. [09:14] * UsuallyRandom One day at the shrine, as you're all going through your morning purification, called "cold-water ablutions", you hear a rustling just outside the temple... [09:15] * UsuallyRandom What do you do? [09:16] * Yumi-moko continues with the ritual for now, trusting her sisters to call for help if it's needed [09:17] 1d6 [09:17] Yumi-moko, 1d6: 4 [1d6=4] [09:17] (oh, yeah, don't roll. Not needed.) [09:18] (I was trying to make a check.) [09:18] 1d6 [09:18] UsuallyRandom, 1d6: 6 [1d6=6] [09:19] * Yuko glared at the rustle. 'Peepers, again? Bet its those damn monks again.' She thought, tying up her hair again and moving to sneak up on the source of the noise. [09:19] * SisterSerena arches her back, hauling her mane of dampened hair back into its customary braid before tugging her hakama up and over her shoulders, padding out to greet the newcomer. [09:20] * Miria freezes up slightly at the noise and turns her unwavering gaze toward the direction of the sound. [09:20] "Are you sure? You should bring something in case you need to defend yourself." [09:21] * Miria looks around for her rifle [09:21] "This is a sanctuary - I welcome our faithful with a smile and open arms." [09:23] * Miria goes silent and follows slightly behind Serena. [09:23] * UsuallyRandom Suddenly, you see a girl jump over to the main temple grounds. Shes about 14, has long straight light blue hair and pink eyes. On top of her head are a pair of bunny ears. They twitch as she looks to all of you. [09:25] "The time of judgement is at hand." She says so coldly. "Come forth, Isakanonushi-sama commands it." A circle of ice crystals begin to surround her as she chants. [09:25] * SisterSerena smiles, as if to prove it, and bows in greeting to the girl. "Good morning, young lady. Welcome to the Igukami shrine. Would you like to come inside?" [09:26] 1d6 [09:26] UsuallyRandom, 1d6: 2 [1d6=2] [09:27] * UsuallyRandom and just like that, the girl's chants open a portal to some sort of strange world, and what soon appears is amonstrous and filthy bird is the size of an elephant, and vaguely reptilian. Its wings are always covered in frost. It attacks with fangs and claws. [09:28] * UsuallyRandom you all kknow this thing to be called a "Shantak Bird", what do you do? [09:28] * Miria halts midstep and stares at the intruders. [09:28] "oh..." [09:29] * SisterSerena trots a step forward and throws herself at the girl, smothering her in bosom as she tackles the bunnygirl out of the line of fire. [09:30] * Yumi-moko calmly reachs back into her double cresent spikes, and pulls from it her bazooka, taking only a moment to aim before firing a rocket propelled chainsaw "Please do not threaten the shrine" [09:30] * Miria turns on her heels and rushes back towards her rifle, leaned against the doorway into the shrine [09:31] << so what kind of roll will you be making Sister towards the Rabbit girl? >> [09:33] 1d6 affection 4 [09:33] UsuallyRandom, affection 4: 3 [1d6=3] [09:34] 1d6 affection 4, +5 vs supernaturalection 4, +5 vs supernatural: 4 [1d6=4] [09:35] 1d6 Wendigo cunning 3 [09:35] UsuallyRandom, Wendigo cunning 3: 4 [1d6=4] [09:38] * UsuallyRandom Wendigo is tackled by Serena. She can feel the warmth and generocity from the intent. Her face makes a blush. "Thank you, but we're on two different sides.." [09:39] << she speaks coldly, but she's trying to hide her affection as the ice spells fade away... >> [09:39] * UsuallyRandom she then fades away... [09:39] * SisterSerena tumbles to the ground with Wendigo in her arms, her damp hair stiffening as ice crystals form. Slightly out of breath, "What does that change?" [09:39] * Miria sweeps up her rifle and spins it around to point at the summoned monstrosity but hesitates to pull the trigger. [09:40] * SisterSerena awkwardly pushes herself up, robes in disarray as she looks up at the towering colossus. [09:41] * Yuko felt that kindness toward a creature that just summoned a monstrosity from beyond the real of man was not entirely the best option, at least Serena managed to kind her away. Now all that was left was the bird. [09:42] * Yuko crept up and arced her legs, snapping like well placed springs of sinew and muscle. [09:42] Skill 4, +3 vs. Supernatural 1d6 [09:42] 1d6 Atheletics 4 [09:42] Yuko, Atheletics 4: 6 [1d6=6] [09:42] 1d6 Skill 4 +3 vs. Supernatural [09:43] Yumi-moko, Skill 4 +3 vs. Supernatural: 6 [1d6=6] [09:48] * Looking up Koakuma user info... [09:50] << that shantak is sooo dead... >> [09:51] * Yuko moved with a spear like savage grace and swiveled her weight right at point of impact, grabbing the bird by the hips and pushing with her legs. [09:52] * Yuko the shantak momentarily felt the sensation of weightlessness followed by a painful feeling of running headfirst into a wall, only the wall was the cold cold stone floor. [09:53] * Yuko screamed "Yumi-moko, SHOOT IT!." Then lept away. [09:54] * Yumi-moko adjusted her aim slightly and moved her arm holding the bazooka in the direction of the shandak before firing, the rocket propelled chainsaw screaming out, and following an arcing path from the movement [09:55] * Yumi-moko before the chainsaw buries itself into the neck of the beast, a few moments of screeching of the metal against it before it blows past, and thuds into a tree past it [09:56] * Miria gratefully lowers her rifle as the others quickly dispatch the shantak, impressed at the ease with which they defeated the servarnt of her master [09:59] * SisterSerena draws herself up to her feet, smoothing out her pleats and robes before fingering stray leaves from her hair. [09:59] * Yumi-moko nods to herself "I had warned them." all the while, the muzzle smoke of the bazooka is obscuring her private parts, as she had done this without pulling her outfit back on from her reaction to the danger to the master's shrine [10:01] * UsuallyRandom This is a sign... It is the resurrection of Isakanonushi, who Igukami sealed away long ago! [10:01] * UsuallyRandom The monsters who are attacking now are his minions! They mean to destroy Igukami’s sacred shrine and bring about the full resurrection of their dark god... As the shrine maidens of Igu Jingu, you must protect the shrine and prevent Isakanonushi’s resurrection! The monsters are coming soon. But first... you must rest. [10:02] "Thank you, dear friends, for your intervention." [10:02] << now we're gonna switch scenes to relaxing at the hotspring. >> [10:04] * Yumi-moko settles into the hotsprings with a soft sigh, altough of sadness at being unable to properly experience the hot springs, or from the feeling of the warm water, is unkown as she looks at the ones around her in the hot spring [10:04] * SisterSerena , some time later, has dragged the remains of the shandak out into the woods with the help of the other maidens - not to mention a tow truck from the village. This has left her SORELY in need of a bath. [10:06] * Miria stretches out as she sinks into the water up to just below her nose and closes her eyes with a pleased expression [10:06] << this is all a shared open bath with the other maidens. >> [10:07] * SisterSerena , all scrubbed down, has her arms folded on the edge of the onsen and chin resting comfortably therein. "That poor girl." [10:08] * Yumi-moko looks at the others in the hotsprings with her "Poor girl?" her eyes flicking to Serene before looking at the other whose name she can't quite remember [10:10] * Yuko leaned back stretching out her shoulders while leaning at the end of the hotspring, taking in the heat and steam. [10:10] "Isakanonushi's handmaiden... she's too young to shoulder such a burden. She can't possibly know what she's doing." [10:12] "Mmmmmmmmmmm..... She sure wan't too young to summon that giant chicken to attack us." Yuko rose from the water, pinching her hips. [10:13] "oi! Yumi." Yuko called out. [10:13] * Miria opens her eyes again after a short while and looks around the onsen at the others. As she hears Serena speak she moves to sit next to her and speaks quietly, although not quite in a whisper "Why did you try to protect her?" [10:13] "She was too young to do it effectively..." she muses. "Eternal damnation in return for a brief flicker of life?" [10:14] "Age can bely a hidden intelligence or natural wisdom of a person. Some of the wiser people are young" *before looking over at Serena* "Yes?" [10:14] "We all must protect the innocent - even from themselves." [10:15] Yuko stretched outward, not paying attention to Serena, and pointed at her back. "I need you to wash my back." [10:16] * Miria falls silent, seemingly considering this concept [10:16] 1d6 athletics 4 [10:16] Yuko, athletics 4: 3 [1d6=3] [10:17] * SisterSerena laughs lightly, rising up slightly on an elbow, one smooth swell of breast rising slightly from the water as she looks over at Miria. "And," she stage-murmurs confidentially, "those bunny ears were too adorable to be the mark of true evil." [10:18] 1d6 Skill 4 [10:18] Yumi-moko, Skill 4: 2 [1d6=2] [10:18] * Miria twitches slightly and starts coughing as she gets some water in her nose. [10:19] * SisterSerena 's gaze turns concerned, kneeling up and resting a hand on her shoulder. "Are you all right?" [10:19] << Yumi-moko is now seduced by Yuko. She has to do what she says, but gets favor in return for her work from now on. >> [10:19] * Yumi-moko sighs softly and nods "Very well." standing from the water, and wades past Serene and Miria before climbing out by Yuko, picking up a towel, and starts rubbing it gently at the directed spot "Here?" [10:20] cough cough "Really?" *stopping her hand as it flickers up toward her head* "Yes, I, I'm fine. I just got some water in my nose. [10:21] * Yuko let out heaving breath "Ah." She muttered softly, tensing up her shoulders. Yumi took notice of how Yuko had grown since she first saw her as a toddler swaddled at the footsteps of the shrine. Her once childlike figure had matured into a well toned, pearly skinned, figure that expressed both a sense of physical prowness, but the unmistakable feminine touch to every motion. [10:21] * SisterSerena nods, smiling gently. "We've all had a shock. The time of omens is at hand - and we're in hot springs. Don't stay in too long..." [10:23] "Ah, I won't..." *looks up at Serena and smiles briefly* "Would you like me to wash your back?" [10:23] * Yumi-moko smiles as she rubs the towel over her shoulders, and gives herself a small nod "You've grown, Yuko. I remember when you used to cry for a bottle" she giggles out softly [10:25] * SisterSerena 's smile turns langorous and she slips back down, resting her chin comfortably on her arms. "Please do. I can STILL smell the stench of that demon..." [10:26] * Yuko puffed her cheeks out i protest, "I could actually use a bottle right now." She lightly redirected Yumi's hand with a firm but gentle grasp, (Over there near my lowerback, please) She let out another relaxed sigh, "A bottle of wine."

I have been taking care of the shrine for several generatins..." *taking the cup, and gently sipping from it daintly* "Would it be too much to ask for a return on the backwash?" [10:39] * Miria ,still lying on Serena's back, eyes closed, mumbles "No." Blushing slighlty, she continues "Probably" [10:40] * Yuko too the cup from Yumi-moko and let the alcohol slide down her throat. Maybe it was the steam or the alcohol, but to Yoko, yumi-moko looked so positively adorable. A little phantasmal embodiment of cute. "How about a kiss?" [10:41] * SisterSerena reaches behind her, patting Miria's flank under the water. "A fast..." She trails off, her eyes focusing on the others. "...oh." A soft giggle rises to her lips. "Oh my." [10:42] 1d6 [10:42] UsuallyRandom, 1d6: 6 [1d6=6] [10:42] Whispered, "Discretely, my friend, exit stage left..." [10:42] << in the next scene... Under the moonlight, the shrine maidens do their cold-water ablutions.

[10:46] * Yumi-moko pours the water over her etheral body, and is saying in soft tones the intonations in an old language, her stance exuding calmness [10:48] * Miria shudders as the icy water soaks her clothes, part because of the cold that envelops her and part because of the thought of fighting against her former master. It didn't use to seem real... [10:48] "If we see the bunnygirl tomorrow - allow me to bring her to the light. There will be enough demons to go around without creating more..." [10:49] "Mmmm... Just be sure you show her the 'light'. Before she decided to summon more chickens." Yuko ran her fingers through her hair and squeezed out the icy water. [10:51] "All souls are worthy of being saved," she lightly chastises Yuko. [10:52] "It's just wether the souls want to be saved, is all." *letting the cold water absorb into her cloths, and she makes no attempt to wring it out* [10:53] "Well if you can't save them, i'm sure the rest of us can think of something else." Yuko poured some of the ice cold water over herself, then spit out a gob of it. [10:54] "Ooooo... Its nice out tonight." [10:55] "We must show them the way. If we know the truth, but we do not teach the ignorant - that, that is evil." [10:55] * Yumi-moko nods lightly "Not all souls wish to be saved...unfortunatly" she says with a sigh that shows the experience of seeing it before, and nods [10:55] "Well, some of the can change at least. I mean, there should be those with free will. Like that bunny girl. Right?" [10:56] "Ugh.. Well at least they didn't do too much damage to the property i'll give the rabbit that." Yuko rubbed picked at her ear, "We're already barely in the black this month." [10:57] * SisterSerena nods, patting her hair one last time, the cross-shaped birthmark between her breasts visible briefly in the moonlight as she gathers up another handful of water to slide along her arms. "I'm certain she can be saved. She just needs a kind shoulder to lean on." [10:59] * Yumi-moko nods a bit "It's surprisin how helpful a kind shoulder is.....before giving a small playful smile, and pours a bunch of cold water on Yuko [11:00] * Yuko grumbled at Serena's uncompromising display of passivity, before shivering at the sudden torrent of cold water tossed on her. [11:01] * Miria has stepped a few paces away, crouched down and produced a pack of matches. She's absent-mindedly setting fire to some dry grass just outside the area of wet ground [11:02] << let's move on, shall we? >> [11:02] << Yumi, Yuko gain 3 favor for destroying the shantak-bird. >> [11:04] << Serena, gain 1d6+3 favor.

A great shadow darkens the sky, and it’s as though you can see Isakanonushi’s form riding upon the winds, slowly drawing near.

He is one with the wind, and while the air is chilled by his power, you cannot see his footsteps. This is the evil god Isakanonushi, who has the power to bring ice and snow to bear. You cannot negotiate with or even speak to him. This god’s only desire is to act on his hatred of Igu Jingu. [16:39] << Last boss!

[17:01] * Miria falls to her knees, facing the ground. She has served a god, but never been in the presence of one [17:03] Isakanonushi is angry, it has nothing but hate in its heart... it's time to finish this, one way or another...

[17:21] The "god" met his end, carpeted by a colorful stream of simple well placed miko based firepower, at first swatting fruitlessly at the attack until its arms, followed by its upper torso became gapping torn holes of victory. [17:22] It cried out, screaming as it flailed helplessy to its end, its ends spraying out a miasmic white light before lines of this illumination crept itself around the god and in an instant vanished like extinguished lamp.
