Hero's Chronicles

These chronicles begin with a name you might not recognize. Having created the heroine at 1:00 AM, and without any sleep to boot, i got frustrated and picked a stupid name. A little later, i changed it. Hence the start of the story.

Part 1: No Freaking Clue’s story:

I awoke near a temple. It was storming out.

Then, the almighty Cybeast came. The very ground seemed to ripple. He spoke to me, and it felt like every word was a further mile between me and the world.

I won’t bore you with what he said, because A: It was private, and B: I kinda forgot most of it anyway. What did he look like, you want to know? Imagine a pheonix. A real bird pheonix, not Mokou.

Who’s Mokou? For a brief moment, i saw another world during the speech. People say i’m crazy, but i still make enough to buy beer, and Eye don’t turn any human who walks by into blood on the walls and nothing else. Anyway, imagine a pheonix.

Now replace the fire with what appears to be reality itself. Then, give the pheonix the ability to talk.

Congratulations. You now have about 50% of what is needed to understand him. Even i don’t have the other 50%. He gave me a name, but since i had “No Freaking Clue” how to pronounce it, I sorta kinda took No Freaking Clue as my name.

Cybeast knows how to keep a girl in line, though. True to his pheonix nature, defiance is met by FIREY punishment. When I serve him, my weariness floats away.

Oh? That’s strange. I was just told to come to the nearby milestone…

The Renaming

A voice rang from the sky into my ear:

“MY LOYAL DISCIPLE. YOU HAVE BEEN WRONGED BY MY FOOLISH WHIMSY. I CALLED YOU HERE TONIGHT TO GIVE YOU A NEW NAME. FOR WHILE YOU MAY BE AN AIRHEAD AT TIMES, ONE CAN NO LONGER SAY YOU HAVE “NO FREAKING CLUE” WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND YOU. SO, I HAVE A NAME THAT FITS YOU LIKE A GLOVE." “Almighty, I am quite humble, and am your servant. Allow me to hear your words of wisdom, a call to life and a vocation of faith. Allow me to hear the name with which to seal cooperation for life. Allow me-” “THAT IS QUITE ENOUGH OF THE OBLATIONS, THANK YOU. NO, THIS REALLY ISN’T SUCH A BIG DEAL. MY IDEA FOR A NAME IS… whisper whisper “I don’t see anything wrong with it. It seems like a fine name.” “THEN IT IS YOURS.” At this moment, i thought i heard a tinge of amusement. But it mattered not to me. For i was now born anew under a new name! The name of Cirno 9!

Part 2: Cirno 9’s Story: Hi all! Eye’m Cirno 9! Eye… nah, that doesn’t suit me. I’m not that dumb. But i have interesting tales.

2-1: Vanishing Objects: Eye had found objects which looked like they’d sell for a lot! Two philosopher’s stones and a transmogrifier, all in my bag at the same time! Eye figured they’d fetch a ton. But when eye opened the bag later, there were only 2 gold bricks. And eye was gonna spend the money on sake (read: beer) too! Ok… Almighty? Can i quit writing with eye yet? It makes even me grit my teeth.

believe it or not, that actually happened.

2-2: Hypocritical ⑨:

“I understand the name originally belonged to an ice fairy. However, that DOESN’T mean i need to deal with this miserable specimen shouting: HEY, LISTEN! So I swatted it out of the sky! Almighty, I hope you… didn’t… mind?” … Oh crud… “Silence for suspense. That Navi was getting on my nerves, and i’m happy you knocked her down, young one.” That wasn’t funny, Almighty. I was seriously worried. “Honestly, given how your namesake was a fairy, I’m a little surprised how quickly you attacked one.”

Cirno 9 is a hypocrite.

2-3: Another god? Wut? I was sitting in a tavern, minding my own business, when i was grabbed from behind, and (i swear i’m not making this up!) yanked through the wall. Floating in a void full of eyes, I met a lady who was not a heroine, but radiated more power than any of Godville’s finest warriors. I wondered why I’d been abducted from the tavern. Then, she began to speak. “I am Yukari Yakumo. I control space, and time. I manipulate a boundary like most open a door. Whoever named you clearly had some form of precognition. You should meet your namesake. You two would get along fabulously. You’re both stupid, you both respawn, and you both get into mischief! You need to see a bit of my world. Maybe it’ll settle you down.”

The following time is a blur. A human who could stop time and throw knives, a rabbit with the power to cause insanity, two immortals dueling, Cirno the ice fairy, a red-white shrine maiden, and a kleptomaniacal magician all were introduced. “When you return, make a guild to honor our name. Let the few who know us come.” Then Yukari snapped her fingers, and i was back in the bar like nothing happened. Under her instructions, I created the guild Gensokyo Associates. Actually, Cybeast gave the order soon afterwards, which makes one wonder: Do those two know each other, or was the subconscious-manipulator responsible?

2-4: Interesting… Cirno 9 here. “Can you do me a favor?” Duh, of course i can do him a favor. “There’s a man i’m in charge of who slipped away. He’s suicidal, and he ran into the forest! You can’t let him die! Bring him back to me, and don’t let him die!” “Sure, i’ll-” thunder boomed, as the heavens filled with a hearty groan from Cybeast, who was too late to stop Cirno 9 from accepting the escort mission. “Cirno… cancel that quest NOW. I REFUSE to help you with this. Escort mission? What were you thinking? If the escort dies, you’ll die too, you know.” “Nope. Think I’ll stick with this.” “Don’t be asking me for help when you’re low on health. I WON’T give it to you. Last chance, give this quest up.” “Nope.” *"Well, enjoy your time without me." *

3-1: New Doctor. So today I went to see the guild doctor. I walk in and am greeted by an unfamiliar face.

“Sorry, I was just looking for the doctor’s office. I’ll be leaving now.”

The other person slyly smiled, and said: “You’re in the right place. I’m Dr. Yagokoro. The previous doctor had to go on… leave for a bit. I’m here substituting.”

Thinking that didn’t sound so bad, I asked: “Ok, can I have some medicine for my aches and pains?”

She was surprisingly not resistant. “Of course! I have here about 7 different types of pills. All guaranteed to take your mind off your aches and pains.”

“How much for each?” I asked, planning to haggle when the high price was inevitably mentioned.

Once again, she didn’t respond as expected. “Take one. I don’t charge my patients, generally. The old doctor sounds like a stingy money-grubber to me. I bet his medicines took a good 20 minutes to begin working and 4 hours to ease the pain. Mine are better.”

“Yours? You make these?” I asked, curious.

“Yes, that’s what i spend most of my time doing. I came here to distribute them, since your doc really doesn’t seem very knowledgable about them.” the doctor replied.

“I’ll take that one.” I pointed at the one all the way on the right. She gave it to me, but then moved to block the door. “I forgot to mention something. I need to give you a shot, so this stuff will work properly. Just sit down.” I obeyed, allowing her to give me the shot. “Ok. Instructions for use: take 2 pills every 8 hours. Got it?” I nodded. “See you later!” she called cheerily after me.

3-2: Didn’t I Know Her? There was something familiar about Doctor Yagokoro. I have a niggling feeling I’ve met her somewhere. No clue why, because I’ve clearly never seen her before. Oh, it’s getting time to take my pills. It seems like there’s always a flash of light when it comes time to take these. Nice to know Cybeast’s looking out for me.

Meanwhile:

Cybeast: “SNORE…”

Back at the guild:

It sure is strange… I feel like i should know Yagokoro. Also, I haven’t seen Seiga in a while… Let’s take these pills again.

3-3: Oh, Crap moment.

“snore… POP! Huh? Something seems different. Ahh! Where am I? Something’s entangled me! GETITOFFMEEEEEEEE! I’m being pressed down against the floor by something incredibly huge! HEEEELP!”

The thing had collapsed around me, muffling my screams so no one could hear me. Odd thing is, for the briefest moment, I heard a giggle that sounded like Dr. Yagokoro. “Doc, you there? Help meeeeee! Why am i trapped! GETMEOUTTAAAHEEEEERE!”

“Well, that pill’s a wash…” I heard her remark. “Same with Seiga’s. Time to pack up and head somewhere else, Reisen.”

Reisen? Who’s she… Oh, crap. I should have known. I knew I recognized that face from somewhere. She did seem familiar with me, too. It made sense now. Of course, it was too late to do anything about it. “Doctor” Yagokoro was none other than Eirin Yagokoro from my whirlwind tour of Gensokyo! Why was she here? How’d she get here? And more importantly, how did i get suckered into testing her meds?

“Eirin! Why did you do this to me? And where the hell did you take me?”

“I didn’t ‘take’ you anywhere. You’re still in the same place, you baka.”

“Then explain the giant crushing weight on my back!”

“Are you sure you want me to? If you freak, Reisen give you both optical barrels. And I don’t think you want to be helpless in that state.”

“HELL YES I WANT AN EXPLANATION!”

“Reisen, please show her.”

Suddenly, the crushing weight was lifted off me. And then the true horror of my situation struck. I looked up into the smiling face of Eirin. I bleakly reflected on the past, looking for something worse, so i could convince myself I had survived worse. I failed. I cringed, realizing Eirin could easily kill me and dispose of me. Being small enough to fit in someone’s hand kind of makes you easy to get rid of! And at this point, what was I to Eirin but a failed experiment?

She bucked expectations a third time. “Thanks for helping me out with my experiment, Cirno. I just wish your namesake had been as cooperative. That injection was monitoring every change the meds made. You should eventually return to normal. Tell as many people as you want about this night. They won’t believe you.” Eirin, having finished talking, destroyed her last pretense of being an ordinary human, by throwing the medical uniform into the air, hitting it with several rounds of bullets, and flying away.

Well, that’s just great. I’m about 4 inches tall, and it looks like she suckered Seiga into testing her meds as well. I’d better find Seiga, quick!

3-4: Find Seiga

After a lot of climbing, several battles with ants, mice, and a rat (note to self: fumigate guild dorms in case Eirin swaps her meds with ours later) I reached Seiga’s dorm. I heard a strange noise coming from inside. I bravely ran forward into- “SMACK! Ow! Damn door!” The door was still closed, and that hurt! Then, i heard a loud, sibilant “hissssss”.

As i watched in horror, a snake slid under the door, slowly heading towards me. In fact, it couldn’t quite reach. Then the door was busted down, and I saw what seemed like Seiga’s legs. They seemed to go into the body of a snake, so naturally, I started running, assuming the snake was eating her. Nope. The legs turned into a tail, and Seiga came slithering after me. I ran for it, but being 4 inches tall, it wasn’t long before I could hear Seiga’s naga form practically breathing down my neck. She seemed to be enjoying the chase. I ran, and I ran. Then, abruptly, i felt a tap on my shoulder.

My hand reflexively went to punch whatever did that. Two seconds later, my hand was wrapped up in the naga’s sticky tounge and I was being pulled towards it’s gaping maw.

“Seiga? It’s me! Your guildmate! Listen to me! NOWAITDON’TPULLMEINMORE!” At that moment, there was a shift as I abruptly “woke up” in the dorm. Was it all just a dream? Seiga didn’t remember anything, not even Dr. Yagokoro! I wonder. If it wasn’t a dream, then somebody needs to watch the medication and confirm new shipments. We do not need another Bad Meds incident.

3-$ Well, lovely. We found a note left by Eirin. "If you want another adventure, I left 5 crates of unsorted medicine in your storage room. They’re labeled “Untested” if you want to try them."

We are NOT testing those. One crate’s been relabeled and is being sold as “Bargain Meds”. Made a ton off of them since no one looks twice at a waiver. Whether they work and what the side effects are, we don’t know. And we also don’t care. Made a ton off it, though.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION: ADVENTURE 4: A Week Off The Radar. Currently up to 4-5. 4-1: Other Side of the Border. “Morning World!” Cirno 9 said, getting up and walking over towards… wait. Where was the closet? What was going on? “Oh, good, you’re awake. After Cirno found you long ago, she’s been bugging everyone to see if they’ve seen you. Not a WORD about your world.” Yukari said, lounging against a wall. “Just think of it as a day for play, or something. Oh, here she comes now.”

“C-Nine!” came an excited voice from around the corner. Cirno barreled onto the scene, shooting icicles everywhere. “I’ve been looking for you everywhere! Since that weird battle you dragged us into, I’ve been looking EVERYWHERE for you! Because that was the most fun I’ve had in a while!” “Human flesh? Is it-” The speaker was abruptly cut off. “No, Rumia,” you can NOT eat her. She’s my friend, just like you gals!" “She seems weak, Cirno. Why bother with her?” said a green girl with antennae. “I’ll have you know, Wriggle, that she was the impetus of our fun little chaos storm in that arena, where we got to have sone fun with the humans. So shut up. Hey, C-Nine? You wanna spar?”

“I don’t see why not. En garde!” She raised her weapon. Cirno laughed. "I meant danmaku, you baka! without waiting, she pumped 7 shots into Cirno 9.

Cirno 9 took major damage.

Cirno 9 couldn’t stand up.

“Uh, C-Nine? You OK? Crap… Ok, Wriggle? Rumia? Help me get her to Eientei, I think I might have hit her a bit too hard.” Cirno ordered, guilt on her face. “Again, why hang out with her, Cirno?” Wriggle asked. “Can i eat her now?” said Rumia. “Oh, shut up, both of you.” Cirno replied, as they moved towards Eientei.

4-2: Eientei “Hello again, gals. So who’s injured this time?” asked Tewi, giving a sigh, and waiting to see which of them Eirin would be treating now. Because they seemed to come back EVERY WEEK with an injured member. Doing a quick headcount, she said: “I’ll tell Eirin that Mystia’s in critical condition. Come back in an hour or so.”

“Don’t. This isn’t Mystia. This is my newest friend, Cirno 9. I just call her C-Nine. Saves confusion. What are you going to do, you know?” Cirno said to Tewi.

“Getting people injured tends to end friendships early. I wouldn’t be surprised if she hates you girls after this.” Tewi replied. “Reisen, get over here.”

Reisen came over, took one look at Cirno 9, and let out a surprised gasp. “I better take it from here. Cirno, and the rest of you. Go away, and come back tomorrow. We’ll take care of your… friend.” she ordered, a note of authority in her voice. Cirno and co dispersed in different directions.

“Ugh… where…” Cirno 9 moaned, waking up. “Shh… be quiet. You’ll be okay. You hear me? You’ll be fine.” Reisen said, hoping she would be reassuring.

It worked, and Cirno 9 closed her eyes. “The pain… I feel so cold, and so weeeeak… What did she dooooo to me…” she continued to moan.

“Master! We’ve got a patient in critical condition!” Reisen yelled.

“No need to wake up the entire household, Reisen.” Eirin responded, flying over. “Is it those dolts again?”

“Yes and no. You might recognize her.” Reisen replied, carefully keeping her tone neutral. “After all, you’ve seen her before.”

“If I had 100 yen for every person I’ve seen, I’d have a million.” Eirin replied. “Who do we have here? gasp

“Seem familiar? Don’t suppose you had anything to do with this?” Reisen asked, acid slipping into her tone.

“No. I didn’t cause this. It looks like that idiot fairy shot her with danmaku. Wouldn’t be such a big deal for most of us, but she was never exposed to it, and Cirno doesn’t understand “restraint”. The combination has put her into shock while her body waits for her non-existant injuries to heal. Unless she can harness the power of danmaku, she won’t last long with them. Luckily, I’ve got just the thing…" Eirin responded.

Reisen was incredulous. “You can’t be serious, Master. You’re going to give her danmaku powers? Do we REALLY NEED another idiot running around with those?”

“OK. So, we just insert this here…”

“Why do I even bother?” asked Reisen, rolling her eyes.

4-3: Cirno 9 Is Being Treated. Please Wait Warmly. “Ugh… my head. I feel better now, but not by much.” Cirno 9 said, waking up.

“Hello! How are you feeling?” came a voice which she’d hoped never to hear again. It had haunted her since the medicine incident.

gasp Ei-Ei-Eirin… What are you doing to me n-n-now? W-W-What’s i-in this IV?” Cirno 9 was absolutely terrified. After all, the LAST one of Eirin’s medicines had shrunk her. (See adventure 3)

“Merely doing my duty and healing you. The IV helps with that.” Eirin replied.

“N-N-Nothing else?” she stammered.

“Nothing else harmful. Promise.” Eirin said. Technically, I’m not lying. she said to herself.

“Ah…” Cirno 9 nodded off. Eirin then wheeled the stretcher off to the target practice room.

“Cirno has a sense of honor, but the others? I’m concerned for her well being.” she explained to Reisen. “She needs to be able to fight back should Rumia get any ideas about ‘tasting’ her.”

“You think she’ll thank you for this? Your medicine, and then callous dismissal of her when it failed probably gave her nightmares!” Reisen shouted.

“Who are you talking to, Reisen? Because it certainly isn’t me. Not with that tone. Is it?” Eirin asked, her voice deadly calm.

“N-No, Master.” Reisen replied, realizing that Eirin was 2 steps away from inflicting corporeal punishment, and hoping to mollify her.

“Eh? W-W-W-Wh- smack

“Master? May I ask why you just hit the patient like that?” Reisen said, disbelief etched on her face.

“Reisen, I told you. I don’t follow the Hypocratic Oath. I do, however, follow the Hypocritical Oath, which states that the doctor must pursue the best possible cure for his patients’ illnesses, even if said cure makes them more sick in the short run.” Eirin replied, a smile on her face.

“And this relates… how?” Reisen asked.

“We don’t want her waking up yet. We want her to be up in 12 hours from now.” Eirin replied. “Quickest way to dissuade her from waking up: KO her.”

“I feel like something’s wrong here…” Reisen muttered.

“Eh? What’s that?” asked Eirin, doing the deaf pantomime.

“Nothing, Master.” Reisen replied, realizing that if previous patterns were applied, her next screwup would result in a blade stuck someplace she didn’t want it. “I’ll see you later then.”

“You were not dismissed, Udonge.” Eirin replied. “Why don’t you hang around a while? See what Cirno 9 has in store for her? We’ll spend all night training, in a room with special accommodations. What kind of accommodations? Well…” Crossing over to her desk, she played a recorded snippet that sent chills down Reisen’s spine.

“To maintain a constant testing cycle, I simulate daylight at all hours, and add adrenal vapor to your oxygen supply. So you may be confused about the passage of time.”

Eirin shut the message off. “I took a leaf out of her book and rigged that up in the training room. Whose? No one, only the people who nearly got themselves killed by Yukari for delving too deeply into her secrets. The place went belly-up before they finished, though.” Eirin said, calm marking her tone.

….………………………………….,………..

“How do you expect her to master even 1/495 of this in the 5 hours you’ll have?” Reisen asked.

“5 hours? You mean a week. With this Yagokoro Temporal Paradoxically Powered Temporal Distortion Device, I can stretch to at least that much time. Once I close the door, I vanish from the timeline, so don’t look for me!” Eirin replied, looking amused. “You are dismissed, Udonge.”

Reisen left the room. Eirin got out a shock machine and waited until the right time to wake up Cirno 9.

“The visit to her guild was SUPPOSED to be off the record. I find it rather suspicious that the one individual who I directly interacted with shows up at my doorstep. Is Yukari sending a message?” slap “Ow! Huh, a paper. It reads: “No. I wasn’t. I wasn’t aware you two had met. I am now, however. I don’t know how you crossed the border, but I will NOT allow it to happen again. Yours in border protection: Yukari Yakumo” Hmm… Need to watch what I say…"

“Ugh… smack thud

“It’s gonna be a long 5 hours before timing’s right…” Eirin sighed, having just KO’d Cirno 9 again.

Elsewhere: Cybeast Falzar: “Hey guys, you seen Cirno? I can’t find her.”

Sol: “I’ve got my own problems.”

Nefer Moore: "She’s probably dead again. Quite stupid. Maybe there’s a processing snarl up.

Joezy: “Nope. My hero’s vanished, but that’s because he has a resurrection in progress.”

Lusy: “Sorry. But if you’re free, maybe we could-”

Cybeast Falzar: “NO. No breaks until I find that heroine!”

Mr. Analoghe: “Sorry. My equipment for hero finding’s on the fritz.”

Cybeast Falzar: “CIRNO! Where could she be? The alternative is too terrible to consider. If she’s outside my range…”

Sol: “You think that’s the case?”

Never Moore: “There’s no way out of that world, you worry too much.”

Mr. Analoghe: “If you’re right, though, she’s in mortal danger for the first time.”

Cybeast Falzar: “Say it with me. A hero…”

Joezy: “Who leaves their god’s eyes…

Sol: “and dies…

Never Moore: “will be revived.

Lusy: “But if they’re out of range…

Amoa: “Then dead they will stay…

Cybeast Falzar: “All the way through the rest of eternity. You see why I can’t take that chance?”

Sol: “But Cy. If she is out of range, there’s nothing you can do to help her. She’s on her own.”

Cybeast Falzar: “I pray to whatever deities guard the land she walks in. See her safely home.”

4-4: Team 9 returns.

“Well, that’s about all I can teach you in the time we have.” Eirin said. “Farewell, Cirno 9. One more thing. That ability is geographically locked. So you won’t be able to use it back home. If Yukari really dragged you out here to shut Cirno up, like you told me, you can expect to be back here a lot.”

“OK… What time is it? What’s the date?” Cirno 9 asked.

“5 AM. It’s been 23 hours since you arrived here.” Eirin replied. “Yes, we did that in one night.”

ding ding ding a ling author’s note: Yes, that is the Pokemon Center jingle

“Oh look, your friends are back. Shall we show them how you’ve been miraculously healed after Cirno’s stupidity?” Eirin asked.

“Sure. Why not?” Cirno 9 replied, REALLY tired all of a sudden. “Just… give… me a second…” snore

“Well?” Cirno asked, determined to get an answer. “How is she?”

“C’mon, you’re wasting your time with her.” Wriggle nagged.

“She’ll be fine. However, she’s really tired. REALLY TIRED. So don’t be too rough with her.” Eirin said, popping out of nowhere wheeling a bed with Cirno 9 sleeping in it.

“Man… She’s asleep?” Cirno asked.

“We aren’t all perpetual motion machines like you. If you want, we could try to send you into her dreams…” Eirin said, a faint smile on her face.

Wriggle, Rumia, Mystia and Daiyousei all tackled her to the ground at this point.

“I know that look. The “new test subjects” look. Don’t accept." Wriggle warned.

“Please let me eat her.” Rumia begged.

“Look, Cirno, what say we go back to the good ol’ days? Don’t listen to Eirin!” Daiyousei pleaded.

“I lost my voice getting too close to Yagokoro’s experiments. Say yes, and I’m outta here, Cirno.” Mystia threatened.

“………Sure.” Cirno said.

Mystia flew away immediately.

“I suppose I understand.” Daiyousei responded. “I’ll stick with you, Cirno.”

“I don’t!” Wriggle replied. "Why pick someone you barely know over your lifelong friends? If it’s a stupid reason like “we have the same name”, I’m outta here too!"

“Human… FLESH…” Rumia ruminated. rimshot

“I stick my neck out for her for the same reason I do it for the rest of you! Because you’re all my friends!” Cirno replied.

“………You’re………right……I was just…..jealous……..” Wriggle realized. “Count me in.” Eirin used Priority Attack! POW

Rumia flew out the window!

“What? She was eyeing the patients like they were delicious! We can’t have that!” Eirin yelled, exasperated.

“Gather around. I will activate the Yagokoro Corporate Somnowarence and Dream Broadcasting Unit and Modifier… now. Things can get strange in the subconscious… So be careful.”

4-5-C: Dream World. FAR away from Muugenkan (Cirno)

“Ugh… my head. Where am I?” Cirno asked. “Dai? Wriggle? C-Nine? Hello?”

There was no reply at first. Then, a familiar voice boomed out, with a tone that could cut steel: “Hi. You’ve got nerve for an INTRUDER. A playmate? Is it soooooo? Well, I’ll have tons of fun with you. Oh, and one more thing. Did you know that if you die in here, you won’t respawn? HEH HEH HEH…”

Cirno blanched. “C-Nine? Cut it out. It’s me! Cirno! Your friend!”

“C-Nine? Is that what you call my bumbling associate, the conscious? She’s nice, right? Well, then. Call me O-Two! I’m her unconscious, and id! We have two separate personalities. Her divine lord back home keeps me chained tightly. But out of his power, I will reclaim this mind!”

“Not likely! My friends and I will stop you!” Cirno defiantly cried out. “C-Nine! Fight O-2 however you can! Wriggle, Dai and I will find where you’re located and free you! Then we’ll take down this invader!”

“Hohohon. Such bravery. But I’ve captured your friends the fairy and the firefly too! We’ll see how long you last before you give out… HAW HAW HAW!” O-2 responded.

“Bring it! I’m not afraid of you!” Cirno declared.

“As you wish!” declared O-2. Then, there was a tremendous rumble, and a Dark Entei appeared. “He shall be your first opponent!”

“It HAD to be fire…” Cirno muttered, cursing softly. “You’re going down, mutt!” she said, going to pull a spellcard… only to find an empty pocket.

Flash! “Ah, I’m going to save that one to laugh over later! NO CARDS, intruder! How will you fight without them? Hohohohohon…” O-2 watched, expecting a white flag. Then, Cirno suddenly seemed… different.

“No Spell Cards, huh? No matter! I’ve got another battle style, and in locking away my Spell Cards, you’ve triggered it! Watermelon Blades, come to me! ADVENT CIRNO… COME FORTH! Who’s ready to battle? Cirno checked her equipment! LHand: Watermelon Blade RHand: Watermelon Blade Body: Fireman’s Suit Legs: Steel Greaves Talisman: Resurrection Doll

“What have you done?” thundered O-2.

“Alright!” Cirno cried. “The equipment generator gave me good items! Now, then. Let’s put a final end to your twisted dream!”

“As you wish! Let you and Entei battle, then!” O-2 replied.

4-5-W: Dream World: Fake Muugenkan.

“Ugh. Where… NO. NO! No, no, no, no! I’m going to kill Eirin when I get out of here!” Wriggle angrily yelled.

“Aw, leaving so soon? And after coming all the way to my door, too!” replied a girl in a dress with green hair.

“Oh, no. I’m F***ed.” Wriggle muttered to herself. Out loud, she said: “Yuuka . How are you?”

“Aw. One would think you didn’t want to see me. But in that case, why would you come all the way to my front door? The mind boggles!” Yuuka replied. “Why don’t we sit down and discuss this like civilized ladies?”

“You sound… different, Lady Yuuka. Are you ok?” Wriggle asked, noticing a difference in the way she was talking.

“Me? Oh, no. I’m fine. You woke me up from a nap. But I’ll let bygones be bygones… for now. Please, do sit down, have some tea.”

“Please? From Yuuka? …The hell? There’s something wrong here…” Wriggle thought to herself.

“Have some tea, Wriggle. It’s right over there. I’d get it, but I’m too tired at the moment.” Yuuka replied.

“polite AND lazy? That sounds like Yukari rather than Yuuka.” Wriggle thought. She walked over towards the tea, and halfway there… CLICK. Wriggle reacted fast, but Yuuka was faster. Wriggle found himself held underneath a strange light. Then it was taken away. Noticing that Fake Yuuka had completely dropped her guard, she tried to shoot bullets. Nothing. She attempted to use a Spell Card. She found that they had all been drained. Recharge time: 24 hours. “I can’t believe I’m considering this…” Wriggle thought, launching the move she normally reserved for a surprise attack.

“WRIGGLE KICK!” She yelled, flying as fast as she could towards the phony. “I’ve only got one shot. I have to hit, or I’ll be defenseless!” She nailed the phony Yuuka, who immediately burst into a mysterious light. The mysterious light began to penetrate her!

Wriggle learned Stone Bug Ascent! Wriggle learned Bug Buzz! Wriggle learned Supersonic! Wriggle got a (useless) taunt: You’re too slow! Wriggle learned String Shot! Wriggle’s HP has increased by 30. Wriggle’s PP has increased by 30.

“Wait, if that mysterious light sealed my bullets… and I’m suddenly dealing with equipment, specials, and stats… Someone must have sealed away Cirno’s bullets as well! Whoever did that doesn’t realize what they’re messing with. With Advent Cirno, we’ll shatter this fantasy of theirs!”

Wriggle flew off to search for Cirno.

4-5-D: Idiot Lake (fake)

“Ugh… where am I?” Daiyousei asked. “Wait… I’m back at home! Was it all just a dream? It seemed so real. Hey, Cirno! Wriggle! Mystia! You won’t BELIEVE the dream I had. It was really long, and detailed, and-”

“Dai, shut up. I don’t wanna hear it. Your dreams have a way of infecting us all.” Mystia replied.

“Why don’t you head home, Dai? I think your parents miss you.” Wriggle suggested.

“Parents? I don’t have parents…” Dai mumbled.

The three of them exchanged “Not again” glances.

“Dai? This was another of your long, drawn out nightmares, wasn’t it? That maid… she gives out horrible punishments for minor dismeanors.” Cirno frowned

“Don’t I know it.” Daiyousei replied.

“No, Dai, you don’t. She cursed you to have your subconscious unmoored in time. All for trying to pilfer a rice cracker. When you fall asleep, your dreams seem to last either seconds, or YEARS. Decades. Centuries, even. One time, you came back to consciousness having spent 1000 years in a dream, according to your timeline.”

“Are you serious? Team 9? Remilia? the Hakurei? Kirisame? A dream?” Dai asked, hardly believing it.

“Yep. Welcome home, Dai.”

Dai gave Cirno a hug. Then, for the first time, the facade of reality was broken. Cirno wasn’t ice cold. She was burning warm!

“What the?! Cirno, you’re warm!” Dai spluttered.

O-2: “Damn! I was so close to converting her! Hope I didn’t screw it up…”

“No I’m not! See, Dai?” Cirno forced herself onto Daiyousei again. This time, she was so cold, Daiyousei nearly froze.

“I don’t know who you are, but you’re not Cirno. You three PHONIES! Did you really think you’d fool me?” Daiyousei asked.

“Hohohohohon. So, by a freak accident, our ruse is undone.” Onric replied.

“Heeheeheehee! We’ll take you captive by force, then!” said Elggirw Gubthgin

“You’ve met your match in us!” Aitsym said. They all moved to engage, as Daiyousei felt a searing pain in her head. When it ended, she was looking at herself from a third person point of view.

“Huh? Oh, hey! ADVENT… ENGAGE!

Daiyousei’s Spells:

  • (Broken) Wall of Death
  • Mist of Confusion
  • Kunai with Chain
  • Surf’s Up

“Alright. Let’s go, fakes!” she yelled.

Onric used Flame 1! Daiyousei took 20 damage! Elggirw used PK Flash α! It looked pretty. Aitsym used Song of Confusion! Talisman: Ring of Senses Aitsym’s attack failed!

Daiyousei: "Argghh! You’ve pissed me off! Power of the Eight, come to me! LIMIT BREAK! Kunai Wall of Destruction!

Onric was defeated! Elggirw was shredded to pieces! Aitsym was blown away!

“Phew… Now, time to find who was behind that, and make them pay!” Daiyousei announced. “Some backup would be nice though…”

4-5-C9: Queen Maria’s Castle (Phony Magicant)

Mmpphm!

“Well, C-9. Just like old times, isn’t it? You try to fight me, it fails. You lost your memory sealing me away. In the end, it changed nothing. Like always, I’m about to destroy everything you hold dear, right before completely destroying your mind again. Fool…” O-2 reclined in a chair, staring at C-9, who was tied down.

“You don’t seem to realize who you’re messing with.” ??? replied. “I’m not Cirno 9 anymore. In this room, as soon as you dragged me in, my memory returned. I remember you. The Devil’s call in my heart. The yin to my yang. You’re the mental incarnation of my shadow, and the doorway to darkness eternal. When I’m threatened by sleep, I remain vigilant, watching for you! And guess what? With all these memories, I will seal you away for good. You’re going down, Circle 2!”

“Cirno 9, I do declare you couldn’t get any more pathetic if you tried. Your “friends” are some of the weakest youkai in Gensokyo! All they care about is a ruckus. I like ruckuses, but I like them bigger. Preferrably with something burning. Let’s see how well you can handle a duel on their terms. Make some spellcards, I haven’t got all day. We’ll fight on their terms. In the meantime, they’re fighting MY friends on OUR terms! HAHAHAHA…"

[GV Sign: Calling of the Lightning]

Cybeast: Huh? Hey! How… Somehow I just sent lightning somewhere without authorizing it!

[Doppelganger Sign: Reversal of Fortune]

Zzzzzzztttt!

“AAAAAAAAAAHHH!” ??? took severe damage at:

  • L ARM.
    • Laglace Sword melted
    • Card [Hero Sign: Resurrection] was drained.
  • S. DECK
    • Card [Ice Sign: Slippery Slope] was destroyed.
    • Card [Union Sign: Double Ice Trouble] is unusable without Cirno.
    • Card [Cold Sign : Snow Ball] was unaffected
    • The rest of the deck was untouched.

O-2 took severe damage at:

  • R ARM
    • Spellsword disintegrated.
  • CHEST
    • Card: [Doppel Sign: Pain Split] was drained.
    • Card: [Counter Sign: Reflective Armor] was drained.
    • Card: [Last Word: Wheel of Fate] was unaffected.
    • Cards with luck as their active element BESIDES the Last Word were all drained of power for the next 3 turns.

“Well… I gotta say, you caught me off guard. I didn’t expect that you had such a powerful attack! But it ends here. I’m done fooling around.” O-2 stated. C-9 elected to get into a fighting stance. However, little did she realize the horror that awaited her…

4-6-⑨. “Cirno!”

“Dai!”

“Wriggle!”

After a quick hug, they sat down, and caught each other up to speed. After Cirno explained O-2, they had questions, but sat silent as she began to explain their plan of attack. Then, she suddenly collapsed, smoking.

“Hee hee hee. In the light, I shine bright! AITSYM!”

“A BEE!? I deplore bugs, even though I’m one! The meleer and insect hater, ELGGIRW!”

“I took out your leader before the battle started. One down, two to go. The FLAMES OF JUSTICE. I’M ONRIC!”

“Dai? Do you know them?”

Dai explained Team ❻.

“So yeah. Let’s take them down!” she finished.

4-6-❻: Doppel Battle

“Bring it, fakes!” Daiyousei shouted.

“We won’t lose to a clone!” Wriggle cried.

“Hohohohohohohohohon… In our last match, we held back. What can you do with your powers sealed, Wriggle?” Elggirw taunted.

“Your friend Mystia isn’t here to counter me… I’ll make you all light-blind!” Aitsym declared.

“I’m super effective against you all! There’s no way we’re losing!” Onric said, fists blazing.

“We’re outnumbered, Dai. But we can’t give in now!” Wriggle declared.

“You’re right, Wriggle. Let’s rumble! DOPPELS! You’ll pay for what you did to Cirno!”

“Heh. Such fools.” Aitsym replied.

A bell rang out, and the fight began!

Aitsym used Holy Song!

Team ❻'s attack and defense increased by 12!

Elggirw used Elggirw Punch!

But it failed!

Onric:

I’ll finish you with one move, Wriggle! FALCON…

Wriggle used Sand-Attack!

Onric's accuracy was lowered!
Onric's attack was stopped in it's tracks!

Onric: bq. WHAT!? How did you…

Wriggle: bq. Oh, you don’t remember? Because it takes time to charge, Falcon Punch is a fire type Focus Punch! Get nailed, and it doesn’t get off!

Daiyousei used Kunai With Chain!

Aitsym's wings were wrapped up! She fell to the ground!

“Cirno! Use… THAT!”

“Right! “O roar of the Earth! Bring forth the fangs of the mighty Dragon! Ground Dasher!”"::http://aselia.wikia.com/wiki/Ground_Dasher

Aitsym took 400 damage!
Aitsym was defeated!

“What? How could you… No matter! We are created by O-2! We will simply return and get in your way again!” Onric declared.

“When we next meet, you won’t catch us off guard with that again!”

Elggirw declared, before her and Onric flew off.

4-6-♤ bq. “Ow… my head. We’ve got to find C-9! C’mon!”

Cirno forged forward, when a fire breathing DRAGON came out of nowhere!

“Ugh! Why? Another roadblock?”

O-2’s voice rang out.

Clap Clap Clap You’ve done well getting this far. I applaud you for that. But let’s see you handle my Pokemon block!”

Cirno used Freeze 3! It’s not very effective!

Suddenly, the dragon faded.

“Eh? Wot?”

4-6-C

“Urgh. You won’t beat me, O-2. Not today!” said ???. “I will triumph, or my name isn’t Bane!”

O-2: “Funny. It’s not. It IS Cirno 9, moron.”

Bane? responds:

“Regardless, you’re going down. I- URGH!”

Bane? collapsed to the ground.

Bane had a vision. It was a very clear, and very strange vision.

“My, my. Who would have thought the simpleton Cirno 9 had such a longstanding war going with a second half?” said Yukari.

“Urgh… Y-Y-Yukari… Help me… I can’t win alone…”

“It will hurt. Are you sure you can handle it?” she asked.

“Anything to drive… O-2… out…”

“Then hold still.” Yukari replied.

The next 5 seconds were pure agony as she basically tore Bane?’s entire being to pieces then reassembled it with a couple extra powers.

“OOGH… You… weren’t kidding… that… hurt… a lot.” she replied, swaying.

“I’m not done. You need to learn how to use these. They’re useless in a spell card battle but are extremely helpful in a physical one.” she replied.

“First: Spriter Fighter. Spriter Fighter is an interesting power. It’s easily a masterpiece. Just think of any lifeform and do this (she drew a pattern with her hands) and it will create a sprite version of that lifeform.”

“A word of warning. Sprites have their own personalities, and may or may not follow orders. They cannot attack you… but they can be the most obnoxious lifeforms ever. Decreate them if they won’t listen.”

“Second: A Spell Card creator. Eirin gave you danmaku, but failed MISERABLY at teaching you how to use spellcards. I’ll be sure to yell at her later for that.”

“Well, that’s about all I have time for. Good luck!” Yukari disappeared.

“Urgh… O…2… I… WILL… Defeat… you…”

Spriter Fighter! Summon Bob-Omb!

O-2: Wait, what-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The smoke cleared, and O-2 sat there, charred. Cirno 9 walked over to him.

“I sacrifice my earlier memory. I won’t use it to seal you! TIME TO DIE! Commence deletion!”

NO! NO! YOU NEED ME! WITHOUT ME, YOU CAN NOT WIN A FIGHT!

“I don’t. Good bye.” Cirno 9 replied. Her memory of previous time was forgotten as O-2 was deleted forever.

Bang bang bang! “Hey C-9? You there?”

“Yeah. let’s go back, Cirno.”

Cirno 9 opened her eyes in bed at Eientei. First thing she saw was Yukari. Next was Eirin. And the third was the fact that Yukari had Eirin against a wall.

“You can go home now. Spell Cards won’t work at your home. The Spriter Fighter will, though. I’m sure you’ll find some use for it. And Yagokoro, you are in SO MUCH TROUBLE…”

Yukari sent Cirno 9 home.

Cirno 9 got back into GV. Then, the day’s events caught up, and she died, having barely held together throughout the ordeal.

Cybeast: There she is! And… she died again. Looks like she was dead for hours! But that can’t be right. Someone been messing with my clock again? Revives her

GEEZ. I PUT 8 HOURS AT THE VERY LEAST INTO THAT. THAT TOOK FOREVER.

Adventure 5: Yagokoro’s Creation: The Gears of Insanity Spin with Metallic Clangs.

5-P:

WAAAAAAAAAAKKKKEE UUUUUUUUUPPP…

“WAGGGH! oh, thanks, Kyouko Sprite. You are dismissed for now.”

kyouko sprite vanishes

“Best alarm ever. She will not stop until you’re up. Anyway, what to do today?”

A brick came from the sky. Sadly, it was a bronze brick. On it were the words:

“Come to Monstro Town. I will meet you there to discuss the recent incidents. Yours truly, Korin Eiroyago”

Hmm… might as well…

Upon arriving, she went towards the bar. Halfway there… THWACK

Cirno 9 was KO'D!

“Alright, Sinree. Let’s get back before Rakyui finds us.” drags Cirno 9 away

Chapter 5-1: Metallic familar…

Ugh… MY HEAD… What happened to me… I was on my way to a meeting…

“You’re at the REAL meeting spot, Cirno 9. Sinrei and I set you up to come there so we could get you here.”

Sinrei? and Korin Eiroyago, I presume?

“There’s a third. Her name is Ana Gram. Sinrei, start the clock.”

Ana Gram? Wait… something doesn’t seem right… YOU’RE EIRIN AND REISEN, AREN’T YOU?

Eirin: “Took you long enough to figure that out! I have a proposition for you. Just come with me.”

Girls are walking

Eirin: “Look at this suit. Isn’t it gorgeous? But she’s so much more. Just rub her stomach or something, you’ll see.”

Cirno rubbed the suit.

A voice speaks to her mind:

??? “A partner comes to me… we will become one, you and I. Linked by bonds deeper than time, and deeper than space. Do you consent?”

Hey Eirin?

“Yes?”

Are you sure this is a good idea?

“You’re not?”

Yes!

???: “A new partner. Bonded we shall be. Forever.”

What… EIRIN! YOU TRICKED ME!

“You said yes to the machine…”

Whiiiiirrr... Clunk! 

???: grab “We’re one now. [MINI!]”

Cirno 9 shrinks.

???: “Down the hatch, ehehehehe… gulp And here you are! My controls! Look at how many attack options you’ve got!”

Cirno 9 cries

Chapter 5-2: Field Testing Madness:

Eirin: “Good, good. You merged nicely with it. This thing is MEGA powerful. And guess what? Consider it a gift from me to you for all the trouble we caused you. Want to run a field test? See if you can catch our two trickiest rabbits. Reisen, Tewi. Scatter!”

they leap away

Eirin: “Give them 5 minutes, then you have carte blanche to use whatever option you want to flush them out and brimg them back.”

tick tock

CLAMP

Ow! Wh-Wh-Wh…

???: “The access bracelet… our bond that transcends space and time. Remote commands for when you’re not piloting. Read the name of me, your partner… and I will assist you. Now, and forever.”

???: “I am Metal Gear Flan… I live to help my partner… and to play with others… I have MANY abilities… from joke weapons to Lavos Class abilities…”

???: You are my partner. Find the rabbits? A pathetically easy task. All I have to do is cast [Scan]!

  • Rabbit 1 located
  • Rabbit 2 located

Bringing them back? How will you do that, MGF?

Metal Gear Flan: “VERY easily. I’ll simply carry them back.”

Oh Really?

Metal Gear Flan: “Yes. Just sit back and enjoy!”

Battle noise

Reisen: I never thought she would give MGF to you, Cirno 9! Had I known…

MGF: [MINI!] My favorite spell! Hahahahahahaha!

Reisen shrinks

MGF: grabs Reisen, ‘stores’ her in compartment.

MGF: One to go! Heh. Not bad, am I? Now that we’re one, you’ll never have to worry about this method of reaching my controls again. Remote controls or merging… Both work well.

Chapter 5-3: Ultimate Weapon vs. the Random Number God.

Tewi: Those fools… It doesn’t matter what they’re packing if they can’t hit me! Now I’ll just

[Stop!]

Tewi: Eh? I can’t move! I can’t use my power!

MGF: You know you’re outclassed. Just come quietly and I won’t have to hurt you.

Tewi: No way. Say, isn’t it cold out?

MGF: You will not fool me. You wish to stall out the Stop. No. [Silence]!

Tewi: ……..

MGF: Hey Cirno 9! What should I do next? Rough her up, or go for the capture?

Cirno 9: Just capture her.

5-3: Capture:

MGF attempted to grab Tewi. She missed.

Tewi: [Cheap Capture Dodge: You missed the pokemon!]

MGF: Damn, she had an Echo Herb up her sleeve!

Tewi: “Thought you’d get me that easily? Oh no… It won’t be that easy, TRUST ME. Reisen was a PUSHOVER compared to me.”

{Boss intro}

“How can you hit what you can’t see? [SANDSTORM]!”

Sand… why sand. I hate sand. [Air Lock]

“What? How could you nullify my sandstorm? [Blind]

MGF: That won’t work on me… I’m a machine! Hah! Is that all you’ve got? Become small… Tiny like your power! [Mini]

Miss!

Tewi: You won’t capture me as easily as you caught Reisen!

[Sand Attack]
[Earthen Tendrils]
[Lunar Clock]
[Knives of Fate]

That’ll make things harder. YOU WONT WIN, MGF!

Owwwww… What? All my weapons past class 2 are offline? And this accuracy is heart-breaking… And why am I so sluggish… Tewi… I applaud your efforts to disable me. But you should know they are in vain.

[Fire]
Miss!

Still think it’ll be so simple, suit?

[Heightened Hearing]
[Eagle Eye]
[Corrosion Blast]

You’ll never win.

I don’t have to. Just bring you back. [Thundershock]

Critical Hit! Paralyzed!

What? IMPOSSIBLE! Grrrrr…

[Mini]

I will remember this. When you most need luck, it won’t be there. Guaranteed. You have my word. And it’s {binned}

Well, C-9, let’s head back for now.

[Teleport]

Chapter 5-4: The field test, part two

Hi Eirin!

Eh? Back already? Did you not catch them or something?

Oh no, I caught them. Here.

Handed over Tewi and Reisen.

OH! Oh, my… they’re so tiny… nothing stopping me from…ehehehehe…

Eirin’s face had an evil grin, which she quickly removed.

bq.Say, could you do something about that ice fairy? She’s been bugging me lately.

Metal Gear Flan was understandably pumped.

Will do. I’ve been itching for a fight.

Eirin held up one finger.

Just don’t kill her. That’s the easy way out for a fairy! Oh, before I forget…

Received the Flight Gem

Eh? What’s this? hovers

Just something allowing you to do what just about everyone else does here… fly.

“Who’s the ice fairy?” Cirno 9 asked.

I’m pretty sure you know her… It’s Cirno, my dear confused heroine. Don’t you want to get her back for nearly killing you?

“I suppose so…”

Chapter 5-4: A Battle Over the Misty Lake:

Cirno:

C-9? What are you doing here again?

“I’m here to battle you, Cirno. Let’s go…”

I’ve got a new friend! I call upon the disciple of everlasting ice! I summon thee! Come, Celsius!

OOC section of FAQs.

Q: What’s with the pheonix comment about you, Cybeast?

A: See this for more on the character I used for my username here. The joke is that the character IS a god, albeit a god of cyberspace.

Q: About that picture? Who is that?

A: Cirno, an idiot ice fairy from Touhou Project. She is constantly picking fights with the main characters, even though she has no chance of winning. As you’ve probably figured out, she was the inspiration for this character’s name. All credit goes to ZUN, the original creator of Touhou Project. For more on Cirno, go to her wiki entry on the Touhou Wiki

Q: “Eye”? Don’t you know English?

A: Yes. But this character is a parody of Cirno from Touhou Project. Who does NOT understand. In the Japanese version, it’s a deliberate use of a contraction that means the same thing, but is incorrectly used. English translations swapped it for a homonym since both translate to “I” in English, thus spoiling the joke. See “Eye am the strongest!”

Q: What’s with the Yagokoro story?

A: According to fanon, Eirin Yagokoro makes her own medication and tests it on Reisen, generally. She was looking for new test subjects and used our guild to test how willing someone is to take medication from a new doctor. The answer to her question: Give someone a bottle labeled “Biohazard” and tell them it’ll heal them while wearing a white coat and they’ll happily drink it.

Q: Eirin used Priority Attack?

A: A priority attack is an attack which always goes first. Think Quick Attack, Aqua Jet, or Extremespeed, from Pokemon. These attacks generally have low attack power.

Q: Why point out “Far Away From Muugenkan?”

A: If you’re asking this, you didn’t really care about Wriggle. In fandom, Yuuka Kazami is often portrayed as beating Wriggle up for the fun of it or capturing her and keeping her as a pet for a long time. Bottom line is, those two have history. Muugenkan is Yuuka’s mansion. It is located in the Dream World. Put two and two together and you see why I specify that.

Q: Who’s O-2?

A: Well, Cirno 9 was shortened to C-9. I needed a name of the same length which would strike fear chords. It just so happens that Kirby 64’s final boss (a demonic angel, if you can believe that) is named Zero Two. So I had a name.

Q: Advent Cirno? What’s with the whole RPG system and italicized words all of a sudden in 4-5?

A: On a lark, I decided Advent Cirno suited the story better. Advent Cirno is a parody of Cloud Strife, from Final Fantasy VIII. The “randomly” italicized words are “Final”, “Fantasy”, and “Eight.”

Q: Onric, Aitsym, and Elggirw?

A: “Backwards” Doppelgangers. They’re all polar opposites. I kinda used MarioMario54321’s SM64 machinima on youtube for this inspiration. Reverse doppelgangers existed for both sides. Only an original could defeat an evil doppelganger for good. The naming was simple: Spell the name backwards. Anyway:

  • Onric is a fire fairy who is serious business, and a deadly tactician
  • Aitsym loathes music, and prefers to confuse people by talking to them until their head spins.
  • Elggirw? She talks to anything but insects, uses a melee system (like the others) and is VERY susceptible to poison.

Q: Flame 1? PK Flash α?

A: Get used to it. O-2 will be ripping and parodying a LOT of RPG’s for the Advent Cirno arc. Flame 1 is Final Fantasy, PK Flash is EarthBound, although this variant’s from Touhou Mother.

Q: What is X RPG Move?

A: See the RPG section below the FAQ’s.

Q: Who is “X Character”?

A: Oh, for the love of Kanako, Suwako, Byakuren, and Miko! Click on the link by their first appearance! I always put one in, and it leads to their wiki page!
