If you encounter a hostile Youkai in your travels, do not run except as a last resort. They are faster than you and know the terrain of Gensokyo. A better option is to make yourself seem more intimidating. Open your coat, shout loudly, throw rocks, seem like a threat. Gensokyo isn't just a dangerous place for Outsiders, but other Youkai as well. If you seem like too much trouble for a meal, even a maneater will ignore you in search of an easier meal. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= “Huh?” The surprised sound from Cirno likely wasn’t what Kimiko expected. The wild Youkai stood on the fringe of the forest, her clothes ruffled by the wind like a spectre. But her attempts at intimidation were lost on the confused ice fairy. Gears slowly turned in her mind, before settling on the most logical conclusion. “Wait a second. Why does a princess like you want with a man? You dating or something?” The question was so odd the others turned to look at her. Even Rumia’s sobs died as she peered from behind Oscar’s shoulder. In the shadows of the woods, the expression of the Yamahime shifted. Her composed and noble expression warping into one of cruel savagery. “Does a human romance a bowl of ramen, you insolent little--” “Hey, ramen sounds really good right now. Can we get some after we’re done here Mystia?” The last of Kimiko’s noble expression faded as her hands clenched together. She took no notice as her nails punctured her pretty wrist. Blood dripping from her hands, long black teeth exposed as her red lips parted. “How dare you ignore a princess of the wilds, fairy! Surrender the human, and I will let you live!” “Human?” Mystia’s light brown eyes rose. Ignoring Cirno’s excited invention of a shaved-ice-and-fried-tangerine ramen bowl. “I don’t see any human. Do you?” The night sparrow hummed. Her voice more like song than a spoken word. Even as Kimiko glared at her with hatred, she could feel darkness creeping into her vision. The bright meadow dimmed, each figure vanishing one by one as Mystia sang. “Curse you fairies and petty youkai! I will take what is rightfully mine, and no cheap tricks will--” The only warning Kimiko had was the low sound of ice forming, beneath her threats. Before a block of ice slammed into her distinguished and frightening face. Cheers erupted from the group of girls. Between gritted teeth, Kimiko rose, and began to stumble back into the forest. Her hand brushing over the trunk of a Japanese witch hazel, before she vanished. “Yeah, that’s right! Run from the might of Team 9!” The sounds of mockery and celebration echoed off of the trees around them. Oscar himself, unsure what had just happened or why, rolled over on to his back. Letting Rumia climb out from under him. As he turned, he could see four faces staring down at him. Hopefully, they weren’t as hungry as the last person he met... =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = "Uhh...Hi there. Is this girl a friend of yours?" = The green one in the blue dress seems to be their leader. Maybe a magic trick will endear them to you? = Team 9 decides to hear all about what happens on the move. Muenzuka is dangerous, we can be friends over ramen back in the village. = While Daiyousei takes care of Rumia, the group decides to stop for lunch. There isn't much for Oscar, but he's welcome to join! = Being scared by a wild monster really builds up an appetite. Rumia hungey. = Our hero faints from the shock and exertion, leaving his fate in the hands of Team 9.
