Re: Touhou CYOA - Second edition
"Hmmm... let's see how they approach..." Byakuren thought upon seeing what she thought the youkai had in mind. She'd ask nicely first, but retaliate if something funny was going to happen. "Can't you nice people help a lady in trouble? I've broken a leg and can't move properly in this dank, dark place. If it's not too much to ask, could you strong, handsome guys help a pretty woman with her problems and show me a way out? Possibly something to help me with this leg as well?" she played a role for them, hoping they might agree to her requests without any violence, or barring that just leave her be. But these youkai were clearly of a malicious variety, and the one coming in from the side smacked the mage to the side of her face, turning her against the stone wall.
"So this is how you approach a hurt female...." the former monk thought as she felt the same guy flip her skirt up. As the youkai's fingers reached over the trim of her panties, Byakuren quickly twisted her upper body and extended an arm to shoot a point-blank blast of magic straight into the assailant's face. "Shouldn't do that when I asked you nicely... oh well..." she thought as the magic released. This was as effective as she thought, and the half-oni's head blew to pieces as a result, sending bloody bits flying at both her and the remaining three youkai farther away. Sitting back down, she kept up a magic-powered hand, aiming it at the trio still there as she wiped some of the dead guy's blood from her cheek. Doing the best Yuuka impression she could, Byakuren licked at the blood on her slender digits before adressing the remaining youkai further. "I did try to ask you nicely. Will you help or shall I blow you too into the next world?" she asked them. It was not something she liked to do, but the situation didn't leave her with any alternatives.
With that display of power and a decapitated party member now lying between them and this gore-decorated woman, the three half-oni were suddenly much more co-operative. They quite shamelessly groveled at Byakuren's feet, kneeling and bowing their foreheads to the ground, seeking mercy from this suddenly-powerful being. "You didn't have to do this either, had you agreed earlier. Now, I'd like to have a way out of these depths, and some relief to this leg. I doubt any of you can use healing magic, so a splint or something similar has to do for now." she laid down her instructions on the trio. "Y-y-yes, hime-sama!" one of them called out, getting up from the bowing position. That was something Byakuren was not expecting, suddenly being treated like royalty by the shocked half-oni. The same guy move next to the mage, asking her permission to pick the woman up and carry her in his arms. Despite being slightly flustered by the attention, Byakuren granted him his wish. Now held aloft by a loyal carrier and escorted by a few others, getting out might prove to be easier than she initially thought.
Having some initial doubts about the validity of the offered service, Byakuren was pleasantly surprised as the trio did indeed hold onto what she wanted from them. The youkai took her near an underwater stream with an abandoned shack nearby, one of them quickly securing a bucket of water as the carrier seated the mage on a rock. Before she knew it, Byakuren was getting herself cleaned by three half-oni males. They wiped off the blood and gore from her feminine form the best they could, while still not doing anything perverted, still terrified by the power that could destroy any of them with the figurative snap of a finger. When the attention shifted to the broken leg, one guy held the shapely limb up and another exchanged the makeshift bandages for fresher ones they had secured from the nearby shack after having thoroughly and gently wiped the leg. It was a strange experience to say the least, but Byakuren didn't fight it.
Once her cleanliness was taken care of, the trio kneeled in front of Byakuren once more. "So, how do I get out from here?" the mage asked, getting a reply instantly. Apparently there was two different paths towards the surface. The shorter one could be potentially dangerous, as even these youkai avoided the paths. The longer route would, perhaps not surprisingly, take more time to get across but also be more safe
A. Take the short, possibly dangerous route
B. Take the longer and more secure path
C. Ask something else?
