You're pretty sure that's the SPIRITS talking, but yeah. Time to change course.
> Alice: Danger! Reimu is coming for you!

Welp, looks like the secret's out, no need to hold back anymore~
> Nitori: Be a distraction, hold Reimu as long as you can. If at all possible, send the data to Marisa's magicomputer.
> Marisa: DON'T save Nitori. She's being a distraction. You must go home and protect Alice at any cost.
> Alice: Catch shikigami.
Never thought I'd be saying "protect Alice at any cost"...

@-ED: Now, when you say "called," what do you mean exactly? ;)
John Evans
ED means that readers are obligated to try to guess plot developments in advance. That's how my mother raised me, after all.

>Marisa: MASTER SPARK FOR THE LOVE OF LOVE
>Nitori: Bullet sign [BULLETS. BULLETS EVERYWHERE.]
Kimiko Muffin
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention this here, but: I don't think I'm quite going to be updating every single night anymore, just for my own sanity~
@John Evans: That's not quite what I meant. ;)

> Nitori: Get Reimu to motive-rant.
> Nitori: Stop holding back.
> Nitori: Hijack Reimu's Kawadec so that she can't see or hear anything.
> Marisa: Shoot first, ask questions later.
What Muffin clearly meant was that -ED's speculation was a key factor in deciding to apply slasher-flick tropes. Which is to say that it's his fault if Nitori gets slashed.
Wyrm
> Nitori: Fake compliance. Then just before she does something permanent, bellow "I AM A MAN!" and punch her as hard as you can in her hitbox. It's crazy enough to work.
Arcc
>Nitori: Reimu's not there! Check it; it's an illusion! The yin-yang orbs are being operated remotely, so you stand a chance! Also, transmit that data to Alice and Marisa!
>Marisa: Don't take the bait, go to Alice's house NOW!
> Alice: You. Are. In. Danger.
Kuma
> Marisa and Nitori: Try that new double spell you've been working on together
> Cirno: Visit Alice
> Alice: Perform divinations

Who the heck suggested to send nitori BACK to the crazy red white? Are you crazy?
I've got nothing to suggest here, but just wtf.
Cleric
We need a solution... And I don't the kappa has it. Maybe too late for her.
Do we send Marissa into combat or protect Alice?
>Marissa: Call Alice, tell her to use her new spell on a doll and the spirits.
Kimiko Muffin
Quoth Andrew Hussie: "90% of calling it, is really influencing it in disguise"
Glan
You know, know would be a good time for Sakuya to go on a shopping trip into the range of whatever-it-is.
-ED
@Anonymous, Glan, Project_Mars: Ah, but since Sakuya Izayoi isn't her real name, giving commands to "> Sakuya Izayoi:" doesn't do us any good. Only "manipulator of fate" Remilia knows her true name.
Bocaj
@Ed, I think that since she answers to that name now it counts enough for the purpose of giving her commands.
That said, she's out of range, probably.
sRc
@-ED: uhh...
can the command system accept wildcards? "> * Belmont" might work for her if it does...
Mr Chips
@-ED: but in Muffin's established canon, Sakuya IS her real name, because of Remillia's fate manipulating.

>Nitori: Cucumber Sign [Death by Cucumber]
Wyrm
> Nitori: Sweet Sign 「 Bees. My God. 」
Okay, that was silly. So's this:
> Suika: Make fort out of offery box.
If that doesn't get Reimu's attention, nothing will.
E-mouse
"can the command system accept wildcards? "> * Belmont" might work for her if it does..."
Do you REALLY want to bring Key-Fu into this?
>Keine: Bite Rumia.
Player Three
Okay. Marisa's on the way, now we just need to keep Nitori alive/controllable.
>Nitori: Pop smokescreen, then engage stealth and take evasive action.
PriffyViole
> Mario: Wherever you are...HEEEEEAAAAALP!!!
Actually, scratch that.
Raspberyl
Nitori: Favorites Sign [ Cucumber Bullets EVERYWHERE ] then smokescreen and run away.
TheBlueJelly
Just because she's a hunter doesn't mean she's a Belmont... Remember Circle of the Moon? Maybe she's related to Nathan. Seeing as he had access to a stopwatch that would stop or slow enemies for 10 seconds (and waaaay too many hearts since all the high-level monsters were just slowed (Rather sad, since that could have been the best thing ever for the Thief class (rediscovered that game, working on beating it in thief mode now (and nesting more parenthesis into this statement (like really, what is this, the fifth?)))))...
</Castlevania>
Muffin, I really think the psycho-signal-interference-boundary thing Reimu has going is cool. Good work on that ;D
Now, as for what we should do... *draws a quick spell circle, and mumbles something.... there's a flash, and a wisp of smoke spells out "TVT" before fading into the air. Jelly is now glowing blue*
Thanks to Ed, for our purposes, Nitori is screwed. This leaves us with Marisa and a half-connection to Alice. Which won't last for long, as, remember, Marisa is the star of this show, so she totally has contractual immunity until we completely lose Alice. Now. Since our pawns player count is really low, Mima might be willing to step in so the show can go on. I mean, she was content back when the show was going to run its course, but I don't think she was counting on *us* to get so many of our pieces removed from the field so... quickly (I mean, really, once Reimu flipped out on us, and then took Cirno away... Seriously. Are we lemmings or something?). That and... does Nitori still have our pumpkin? If she does, who decided we should let her keep a hold of such an important object when she ISN'T the lead part?
Anyways, my suggestions are...
>Nitori: Batteries should be recharged by now, power up the upgraded cloak, and fly (as fast as possible while evading Reimu's attacks) towards either the Moriya Shrine, the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Eientei, or the Underground Palace, whichever is closer.
((Basically, get us in range of someone else we can use. Moriya's crew seems to like to cause stuff, or at least, *appear* to be a part of some grand conspiracy (and would thusly support our cause, whatever it is); SDM has a potential to yield us Komeji (though, Flan might MoD our control of her away as soon as we get her v_v) or Sakuya, both of which would be perfect for our current predicament (what with Marisa's Main Character Meatshield running low on meat); Eientei could net us drugs Reisen's manipulation of insanity, which could help us sneak our way back into some of our lost compatriots; and the Underground, as Satori would be a very, very, very interesting catch for thought-injecting beings like ourselves.))
>Marisa: Nitori isn't going to make it, don't sacrifice yourself. Evasive maneuvers, pattern Delta. Oh, and try to find Mima (as she might be willing to help us).
>Alice: Declare the mind-shield good enough, and return to your work, while the dolls fortify against the inevitably incoming shrine maiden. Send 4 scout dolls out, one to the Moriya Shrine, the SDM, Eientei, and the Underground Palace.
TheBlueJelly
Oh, erm... modification to Nitori's command... not whichever is closer, but whichever can be *reached sooner*. You know, so, if she can order Scotty to beam her back to Faith Youkai Mountain, she should do so.

Yep, called that one.
Marisa: Team up with Alice for final stand against unusually motivated miko. Maybe she's doing the right thing, and is just being irritatingly vague about it. And this will all turn out to be something we could have avoided. Okay, scratch "maybe". It's obviously just a misunderstanding.
But are you really prepared to trust your compatriot of many years, in the field of incident resolution? No of course not, that would be eminently sensible. We haven't wasted nearly enough energy for this incident to be resolved just yet.
Alice: Prepare dolls for battle GLORY.
