"All I can remember is that my vision went black for a while and some red eyed monster talked to me for a few seconds, and then POW! I was lying on top of you with a massive headache."

Anon then proceeds to narrate the events that happened afterward. He is careful not to mention any groping of any kind, but tells a mostly honest story.

"... and now I am here explaining myself, since you just regained consciousness."

For a moment, the girl just stares at Anon blankly. Then, she just bursts out laughing. She laughs loudly for a good minute or so, before composing herself.

"Well its great to hear that someone else is having worse luck than I am. That Yukari must be messing around with the Outside again. She loves making a mess of things, doesn't she ~ze?"

"At least she isn't angry," Anon says to himself. The way she makes light of his situation is quite irritating, however.

"So, what were you doing out here in the woods?," he asks

"Picking mushrooms ~ze. Which reminds me, where's my stuff?," she says, now looking around the area.

"I left them where I found you. I can lead the way there," Anon says.

As they are walking back, the girl starts talking about herself. Apparently, her name is Marisa Kirisame. She is a witch and she dabbles in magic. Sometimes, she goes all around Gensokyo to defeat powerful beings and find precious things. When there are incidents, she sometimes works with others, such as the lazy miko of Hakurei Shrine or the doll-manipulating magician who visits her all the time. She considers herself the most awesome in all of Gensokyo, repeating this part after each story.

Anon takes this all in while asking her more questions. Soon he learns the gist of Gensokyo and its inhabitants. The woods they are in is known as the Forest of Magic, and apparently there are some man-eating Youkai that wander around. He even hears of places like Kourindou, the Human Village, and a Mansion she sometimes visits to borrow books ("though stealing would be a better term", he reminds himself).

"... and that time, she was so angry that she almost popped a vein. Man, that was great! I'm so awesome, ~ze! Aha, my stuff!"

Marisa pauses to pick up her broom and basket. She then jumps on her broom and begins hovering.

Anon sighs. He turns his back to her and considers the path he spotted earlier. Perhaps he can head to Kourindou or the Human Village, since those places sound much less dangerous than the Forest of Magic.

"SMACK!"

Anon cringes as he rubs his head. With a renewed headache, he staggers to face his attacker.

"I like you," she says with a smile.

"Wha?," Anon replies dumbly. He feels himself blushing furiously. Did she just say that?

"Tell ya what, since I'm in a good mood now, why don't I help ya out a bit?"

She is waiting for an answer.

Anon has a few things in mind:
[ ] Ask for directions and a general description of the area
[ ] Ask if you can try some of those mushrooms.
[ ] Ask if you can learn magic from her.
[ ] Ask if you can stay at her place.
[ ] Ask if she can take you to Kourindou.
[ ] Ask if she can take you to the Human Village.
[ ] Custom
