(See what I did there with the title)
(Note: Important words are in bold.)
This is a text-based adventure game.
Please wait warmly while I type the intro.
The beginning, a normal day in Gensokyo. The usual was going on, tea being served, danmaku battles being held everywhere, incidents being solved, Reimu not getting any donations until she started beating the crap out of people, where the hell is Mima, and...you know, typical Gensokyo fare.
That keeps steady.
And this is the problem for Ozma.
(Art by Augen. He's awesome, cool, *insert synonym for epic here*, ect)
You see, Kaosu and Ozma moved to Gensokyo because they were bored, and being bored is the worst possible thing for a high-ranking universe traveling almighty chaos god should be and the last thing her shikinami wants her to be. For some reason, her shinigami is much more calm than her owner/god. And this is a good thing, for it tends to keep her out of trouble. In any case, they put their castle around !dFGHds and thus settled there, and watched the world to get a good feel for it. Their castle was kept invisible by a certain youkai, thus keeping them completely invisible.
Gods of chaos usually don't sit around and do nothing. When she heard about 'incidents' after a long spy session, she decided to start one. This involved lasers raining from the ground every so often, nothing that the danmaku pros couldn't dodge, but it wrecked a lot of things, not to mention zapped people as they slept. They kind of had the coloration of Ozma, but this was purely coincidental. Or at least that's what she said.
After a while of watching the denizens panic but none reaching a solution like they normally did, she decided that it wasn't an incident enough for their '6th stage sense' to activate, and thus decided to add more lasers. However, it didn't seem to be the right 'type' of incident for that to trigger, and so Ozma, being Kaosu's second in command, suggested that she not amp up the lasers.
Kaosu's goal was to cause chaos in the first place (it's part of the job, and fun too), and thus frowned at Ozma's suggestion. However, she took a good look at Ozma, and smiled one of those 'you're fucked' smiles.
Ozma was quickly knocked out in order to let Kaosu's strange 'Plan AB' take place. To put it simply, Kaosu stripped Ozma of several important things, and placed her in a world where everyone is out to get her.
Ozma has enough common sense to judge the following:
But, how do you play?
For those with MoTK accounts: Look, I'm not going to explain everything. Just take a look at the million of examples. Read a thread, and get it.
For those without MoTK accounts: Follow their lead. Or, figure it out yourself.
First post is to come in a few minutes, wait warmly some more while Ozma is thrown into a world she knows about, yet knows nothing about.

Ozma was quickly knocked out in order to let Kaosu's strange 'Plan AB' take place. To put it simply, Kaosu stripped Ozma of several important things, and placed her in a world where everyone is out to get her.
- The most pressing issue was that Ozma is completely powerless. All she has is danmaku that is comparable to a Stage 1 boss on easy mode, and that's not going to help Ozma's case anytime soon. Also, her physical strength has waned considerably. It should most likely rise when Ozma learns some magic.
- That is clearly pressing, yes. That's because nearly everyone is trying to shoot down Ozma. Those lasers look mighty like she does, and that means she clearly has something to do with it. Ozma, however, has no idea why these lasers look like her, nor how to stop them, or who is causing them. It would be nice to convince a few people that you're not actually behind it. But, no one even knows who is behind it, so Ozma is the best suspect.
- Ozma has another issue that's a close second: A large section of her memory is gone, it being pretty much everything about Kaosu and all of her spells. She can easily recall spells by reading a spellbook/scroll enough, due to some lingering memory and power. What she does know is where pretty much every location in Gensokyo is, and a great deal of the inhabitants (canon characters).
- Obviously, it rains lasers every so often. These lasers destroy almost everything they touch, and they drop from the sky every so often. These lasers have a chance of 10% to fall from the sky every two posts I make. These lasers might look like you, but they hurt you too. And at night, the chance is increased to 30% every single post I make because they glow so much brighter at night and keep everyone from sleeping. It's a good thing they can't kill people in their sleep.
Ozma has enough common sense to judge the following:
- Ozma needs to get back home, wherever that is, badly. Otherwise, she'll never know another day's peace. Peace is good.
- Ozma needs some allies. Otherwise, she'll get stomped.
- Ozma clearly needs a spell or two, or an entire library. Otherwise, she won't be able to defend herself from anyone except maybe Rika in a Flower Tank. And that wouldn't be a good idea, because she might kill you with her Evil Eye Sigma later. And no, don't bother trying to go in Patchouli's library. A lot of those books are traps, especially when you try to read them.
But, how do you play?
