Flandre's Chamber - Scarlet Devil Mansion

---

Patchouli hesitated when she saw Flandre's eyes staring out at her. She had seen a few horrors in her life, but seeing Flandre like this... No, it invoked more than just fear, it invoked sympathy. Mustering up what courage she had in her system, Patchouli cleared her throat and managed a small, nervous smile. She would rather be bedridden than admit that she was terrified to be standing here before a creature of such raw, undiluted power. Taking her own advice to heart, Patchouli pushed down her unease and looked at Flandre as if she really was the child who could use a story to brighten their day.

Perhaps that was akin to imagining the audience was in their underwear for performers and public speakers, she thought.

"Yes. A story, Flandre. I've brought a book for you to read on your own," Patchouli said as she held it up for the girl to see. "It's enchanted to speak and tell its stories, and it won't break as easily. I could also read to you, if you'd like."

"I don't want the book to read itself. I want a person. I want you, Patchy." Flandre's eyes looked excited, but also worried. "Will..will you come in?"

Hell of Blazing Fires

Utsuho looked slightly up into the air with a finger on her chin and thought for a moment about what flavor she should choose. She had a couple flavors of snowcone in mind, but couldn't quite decide on a flavor, so instead, she picked the easiest choice.

"I like surprises. Pick a flavor.", Utsuho said to Orin with a smile.

The Ancient City

"Sounds good." Nitori said. She had never been in the Ancient City before, but she still was nervous. There were oni everywhere, and who knew if she could trust them?
And according to Yuugi, her camouflage cloak wouldn't work. Her recent experience with Yuugi was enough to keep her calm, but she still didn't like it one bit.

Looking around, most of the oni seemed occupied by partying. Most of them were drinking, and the ones that weren't looked like they already had some.

"Going to your house sounds like a plan." she said, her voice wavering. Even though she walked into the city herself, she still didn't like it one bit.

"Nitori, calm yourself!" she thought. "If they have such a good sense of smell, they can smell your fear, and they might be able to take advantage of it."
She took a few deep breaths, and asked the first question that came to mind:
"Where do you get all of this alcohol from? You don't seem like people that have the patience to make it."

The Ancient City

Yuugi laughed at Nitori´s question "That my little kappa is a good question. We may look as easy going folks, and we are usualy, but we also have our regulations and laws. For example, try looking at the heaviest drunktards that start arguing, they will surely go to the point of punching eachother, but thats it, we know our strengths and have laws to maintain peace here. We won´t hurt someone who isn´t on our discussion neither we shall hurt someone on purpose for malicious plotting."

"And to answer your question about the alcohol, we got two things. The first one are some oni who enjoy making drinks and have a hell of a patience. How they manage to get the ingredients is still a mystery to most of the inhabitants of the city, but they don´t steal it, we had the Satoris check their minds to prove it. Now the second thing are the never ending beverages, this objects will never run out of alchoholic drinks, Suika has one of them and trust me they are really hard to make or find" the oni explained as they reached the house

"Welcome to my humble cave" the blonde opened the door as her home was a traditional japanese house with sliding doors, long corridors and a garden with both some flowers and a fountain "Please enjoy this place while I get a new pair of sandals and if you see a drunk Suika or a hiding Parsee, just tell them you are coming with me, they will understand" she said walking towards her room

Sounding more irritated than she actually was, Mystia shot: "Will you buzz off if I tell you that the udon is free of charge?"

Nitori sat down and took something out of her backpack.
The disadvantage of technology was that it needed maintenance; but she thought the advantages were big enough to offset them.
"Phew." she thought while checking the camouflage cloak for holes. "She didn't break it, that horn could have been dangerous."
Luckily, all of her equipment was fine, and she was done pretty quickly.
Yuugi wasn't back yet, so she spend some time looking around if there was anything interesting.
She heard some water, and she found the fountain rather quickly, and sat down beside it, careful to stay out of sight.
She loved being even the sound of water, and she closed her eyes and listened.
She still was a bit agitated, and unable to drift off, but it calmed her at least.

Patchouli had a desire to turn Flandre down, but she could not act upon it. What kind of person would she be to deny knowledge to one whose curiosity was genuine? Besides, a good story couldn't be told with a chained door between the teller and the audience. It was so impersonal, and a story deserved better than that. Patchouli pushed down her doubts and reached her hand up to the locks in the chains.

One by one, she used her magic to unlock them. When she was finished, the locks fell to the ground and the wards dissipated. Patchouli reached for the door and opened it, careful not to open it too much to give Flandre room to leave. She stepped in and closed it behind her, her eyes focused on the little vampire before her. The words for her reaction were stuck in her throat, so she nodded to Flandre instead.

"...Is there... A place to sit, little Flandre?"

[Kristia]

Yuugi's House

Finally finding a pair of sandals that weren´t broken, thanks to the fact that she basically stomps the floor with gigaton force, Yuugi put them on and looked at the surroundings of the house "Looks like no one crashed to sleep here, oh well no need to clean up any mess" she said to herself walking towards the fountain

"I see you enjoy the peace of water too, it is quite relaxing when you need it to meditate" the oni said getting closer to the kappa´s location

Yuugi was ready to go towards the hell of blazing fires and see why utsuho was having either trouble with the magma or having a day off "I hope you are ready with your water canteens, our next goal is quite hot and water is scarce or nonexistent" she said taking her own canteen and filling it with the fountain´s water

Orin dumped the corpses in her wheelbarrow into the fire, and then turned back.

"I'll be right back with snow cones." Orin said, rocketing off with her wheelbarrow.

Bamboo Forest of the Lost

"Nope." Nue said, a smug smile coming onto her face.

Flandre's Chamber

"Oh, I know!" Flandre went into a closet and dug through a mess of junk. Eventually, she pulled out two surprisingly intact bean bag chairs and plopped them down on the floor next to Patchouli. One purple, one red. Flandre sat in the red one, and patted the other one to as to invite Patchouli to sit down.

[S121]

Hell of Blazing Fires

"Okay. Hurry back.", Utsuho cheerfully said to Orin as she waved.

She then looked down to the bodies in the magma. It may have seemed weird to toss corpses into magma and fire, but in truth, their souls helped power The Hell of Blazing Fires. Sure, Utshuho could probably power everything on her own, but the corpses made things much easier for her. They made sure that Utsuho didn't have to constantly maintain the Hell of Blazing Fires' temperature.

"More fuel for the fire.", Utsuho said to herself as she flew back up into the air and resumed her job.

Yuugi's House

Nitori heard the oni approach, but she took no notice of it, preferring to keep listening to the water.
Only when she started talking did she open her eyes.
"meditating..." Yuugi said. Nitori had to focus before remembering. She almost went into a kind of trance, being content just sitting there listening to the water.
She heard Yuugi talk about water canteens, and almost rolled with her eyes. "Yeah, you see, being a kappa usually means you have some water with you. You never know when it comes in handy! But thanks for reminding me, I don't really want to leave without them."
She got to her feet. Nitori was pretty short, and since most things were made for the size of the oni, she had some trouble reaching in the fountain.
She didn't want to try and jump, and miss the fountain.
"I've got some bottles left though, mind filling them for me?"

[Kristia]

Yuugi's house

The oni took the canteens and started filling them "Yeah we are kind of tall because of our constant training, unlike the many residents of Gensokyo, what most rely on magic and science, we rely on strength" she said filling the last container and handled it to the blue haired

"Anyways you kappa are pretty good in your inventions, and this is surely a silly question, since your people need water, your machines wouldn't get damage or cause a short circuit?" she asked as they were heading towards Utsuho's place

[Nitori_Kawashiro]

The Ancient City

"Thank you." Nitori said while putting the canteens away. She set off, looking over her shoulder if the oni was following her. She noticed that she was going too quickly, and slowed her pace until she walked alongside the oni. She stayed silent a long time before answering the oni's next question. It was no hard question, but it caught her off guard. Water was a given for her, and she easily forgot that that was not the case for everyone. "We have a special kind of coating that we use to waterproof machine parts. That protects it against water and against some other common harmful substances. And we try to keep the interior dry of course. That should keep any water outside."
She looked at Yuugi. "Does that answer your question?"

She thought of something else that crossed her mind. "That big mansion in front of us, isn't that were the satori live? Y'know, that little troublemaker and her sister?"

Patchouli wondered if Remilia would consider her own sister to be 'adorable'. Flandre certainly looked like the type of child to enjoy being embraced, petted, or praised, but Patchouli was not going to do the first two. She knew of the girl's strength and would like to keep her spine intact, thank you very much. It pained the mage that she had not prepared much for this event. All she had to rely on where the spells she committed to memory, and even then, they could not protect her very well if push came to shove. Hopefully, Flandre would not have an outburst, and Patchouli would not entice one.

She obliged the little vampire by sitting down next to her on the purple bean bag chair. Her red book rustled in her hands, demanding to be read. Patchouli opened the cover and ran her hand across the smooth pages, entranced by what she was about to read.

"This book... 'Tis called the Adventures of Rick Mundy, Archeologist," Patchouli explained. She held the book up to show Flandre a picture of the archeologist on the cover page. "He's a fictional character, but his adventures... They are legendary."

Patchouli smiled as she thought of what she was getting into. She turned the page of the book and opened her mouth to begin retelling a tale.
