Transcript
- Blue Text: A couple of years ago in an eastern wonderland far, far away ...
Blue Text: I mean ... y'know, unless you're IN Japan, or ... You know what I mean.
(Fairy Wars logo, in the style of Star Wars)
Opening Crawl: It is a dull time for Gensokyo. The last incident was more than three weeks ago, and anyway, it had nothing to do with fairies.
Opening Crawl: But not is all well. The THREE FAIRIES OF LIGHT have decided to assert their dominance over human and youkai alike, whenever they can be bothered and they can remember that they were supposed to be doing this. In the process, they have earned the ire of the ice fairy Cirno, by accidentally knocking down an igloo she made.
Opening Crawl: And so, armed with her ice sword and her newfound ability to freeze danmaku bullets, Cirno sets forth to prove to them, to herself, and to the world at large, that among all of Gensokyo's inhabitants, she is THE STRONGEST...
Smaller Text: I have no idea how far I'll be able to take this Star Wars thing, b'duh.
(The blackness of space fades to a blue sky, above a treeline.) - (Cirno (with the older version of her wings) flies through the woods in annoyance.)
Cirno: Stupid three fairies knocking my house down! I'll show them!! I'LL SHOW THEM ALL!!! - (She comes across Marisa menacing a fairy with a blue ribbon in her hair; Cirno gets a "?" over her head.)
Marisa: Where are those transmissions you intercepted!?
Fairy: W-what!?
Marisa: Uh, I mean, the letter I was sendin' to Alice. - (Marisa leans in more menacingly. Cirno just heads out along the path she'd originally been taking.)
Fairy: W-why do you think *I* did something with it!?
Marisa: Well, it had a trackin'-spell amulet, which yer *wearin'* in yer hair now ...
Cirno's Thoughts: ... Yeah, not even *I'm* that stupid. - Narration Box: So Cirno makes her way to a different part of the forest.
(Another part of the forest; Cirno encounters Lily White in a maid uniform, and promptly gets aggressive.)
Cirno: Aha! Lily! I know you're now a mid-boss of those three --
Lily White: Ah, sorry, Chilly, I have to go to my new job at the scarlet devil mansion ... - (Cirno watches Lily go; Luna Child comes up behind Cirno's new position.)
Cirno: Bah! Then why're you even showing up here!?
Lily White: (backing away) Uh, I probably shouldn't say this, but it's cuz I'm sposta be here at this point in the game!
Luna Child: (a bit annoyed) Hey! - (Cirno turns to face Luna, as Lily leaves the screen.)
Cirno: THERE YOU ARE! I declare war on you and both of those other two!
Luna Child: (surprised) A challenge, huh? You're being kinda noisy ...
Cirno: Well I'll never forgive you for knocking my house down! - (They square off against each other. Lily backs into the panel, away from a green glow.)
Luna Child: Well, fine! It's too bad you're not Reimu!
Cirno: Bah! I can be 17 times scarier than any shrine maiden! Who the hell do you think I am!?
Lily White: Um ... g-guys ... - (The entire screen is engulfed by a green blast of light, causing an explosion to the right.)
SFX: SHABOOM
Spell Card: Star Sign 「Non-Directional Superlaser」
1As an aside, my intention is that in Create.swf Adventures #2, the focus will be entirely on Sacchin, Carroll, and Kon.

Miko Mischa
Hmmm, but does referencing the fact that Cirno is The Strongest in the opening title scroll count as using the phrase "I'm the strongest!"?
Or does it only count if Cirno herself says it? :3
TARDISES
well since it says she's going to PROVE it, I don't think it counts.
Also, number of refences appears to be just 1... Though don't count on me for that, I don't know all that much when it comes to fiction...
Spirit Tsunami
Why 17?
Derailing the adaptation of the main events of the game with srs bsns regarding your OCs? I find that offensive ...oh, right, you've done that, too, and long before I did. Although I fail to see how there was any game canon to derail where CSA was concerned, unless it's some game that I don't know about.
And this comic has 9 panels, so you're off to a great start there.

@Mischa: It only said "the strongest," not "I'm the strongest." ;-)
@Spirit Tsunami: Why not 17? 17's a nice number. And I only referenced it once because this was just the first comic and I hadn't got a chance to mention it anywhere else. In CSA, uh, in CSA the game getting derailed was CSA itself, yeah, that's it! As for the number of panels: yes, but I didn't make a big deal out of it. :3c
Jindra34
This should be nice and interesting. And yeah never a good idea to stand/float/fly/whatever down range of an angry Marisa.
TARDISES
good thing Cirno starts off with enough Motivation to get hit a few times - the non-directional laser has not stopped her.
GreatLimmick
17 is a good number. It's prime, and one greater than an exponent of two. Much better than 9, which is 3 squared.
Xaltwind
So, does this mean that you'll be skipping out on making a comic parodying UFO and leaving that particular game to being written as merely fan-fiction? It would seem like such a waste, and I did wish to see your take on Kogasa and Byakuren.
Regardless, if you indeed intend to focus more on silliness and overall humor this time around, I'm sure this story will be undoubtedly more enjoyable than the previous quote-unquote "disaster"-arc... After all, SRS BIZNAZ does not translate well into create.swf-form.
Poor Cirno, already down one life now. :<
TARDISES
...I don't know what you're talking about, Raku. As I said, I only saw one reference, and that was the first few panels.
Dizzy H. Slightly Voided
@Xaltwind: I'm consciously trying not to ... repeat stories these days, and I have a little bit of seriousness in mind for RFO which wouldn't work. If I had someone who could draw and make real comics with, now ...
Mariku
When I read that opening crawl, I tried imagining the Star Wars music with Touhou music.
...I just didn't know which Touhou music.
Dizzy H. Slightly Voided
I actually tried to come up with a Star Wars remix of Beloved Tomboyish Daughter, but I quickly gave up. :3c
Rainy Daze
Don't give up, I'm sure you can do it! XD
Star Wars remix of the Hisoutensoku version might be easier.
Dizzy H. Slightly Voided
Because the "sign" bit is always only two kanji long, wouldn't fit.
I suppose I could've done "Death Star," but I was trying to go for subtle (and something about which Marisa could pull plausible deniability if Reimu went "WHAT").
Mushyrulez
Just an aside: wouldn't a non-directional laser basically be an explosion, having 'no direction' :v
So, I've started my Great Fairy War parody. Rawr, dreaded continuity. I'm also apparently making it a Star Wars parody, entirely because of the name "Fairy Wars." No idea how far that part'll go. Probably nowhere. I mean, apart from those little references here and there, like Marisa being Darth Vader and the Death Star (more on this when we reach the Extra Stage). Definitely only going to do that Star Wars opening thing once. Regardless, after the previous disasters, I'm also going to deliberately aim for shorter and sillier stuff in this particular story-arc, and I will not derail the adaptation of the main events of the game with srs bsns regarding my OCs.1
I'm going for route A-1 here, more or less. Luna is officially more or less "the dumb one," so I thought it was appropriate to start with her.
Another part of this story arc is experimenting I'm doing is to see if I can make a story centered on Cirno without either using the phrase "I'm the strongest" or making a big deal out of the number 9. Instead, I'll constantly reference the number 17.
