[OVER VARIOUS COMPETITORS' PDAS, EXCLUDING GENSOKYO RESIDENTS]

All right, competitors. We will be fighting against each other in the ring, but until that moment, I am still your ally, and I wish to see you all fighting your best. Therefore, I am offering a quick crash course in creating and using your own spellcards. I would highly recommend taking this, as I will not be offering an other opportunity. Feel free to swing by the Simulation Chamber in the next few hours, and I will do what I can.

[ACTION]

One competitor, at least, has already joined up; Kitaro can be seeing trying out some patterns, though they're still obviously not very high quality. Observers might note he's slightly tense around Ran, though Ran is doing her best in spite of it as far as coaching him.

[Raidou decided to go ahead and practice. He decided to see how his demons powers would be transform. The bullets are in several shades of green with yellows, rose, and whites scattered - the pattern is very flower like with 'spears' of light blasting through the middle. This was after six previous attempts.

Then he tried calling on a second demon-turned spellcard - there's a rush of flames, and then a loud pop as he faceplants, the bullets disappearing as he no longer could maintain it with that little stunt]

... Damn.

[faithfultenko.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, are you having trouble with that, Raidou?

[aboyandhiscat.livejournal.com]

I just tried to see if I could use another one of the demons to add to the pattern...

[He sits up, and fixes his hat]

[faithfultenko.livejournal.com]

Hmm. So that is how you are manifesting your patterns. It's surprisingly effective.

You might be better off sticking to one. I would assume that even as danmaku, they are asserting their own personalities. Although... do you have any which are notably compatible with each other?

[aboyandhiscat.livejournal.com]

Let's see...

Lamia works well with Tam Lin, Orthus and Raiho...

A long story there.

[Gouto stretches from his sleeping spot]

[faithfultenko.livejournal.com]

Er, perhaps I'll ask about it later.

Try combining those two, then. Though remember, the opponent needs at least marginal room to dodge.

[He nods, and draws out two blank cards]

Element Sign - Howling Blizzard Roaring Inferno

[Large, slow moving whitish-blue balls circled around him horizonally and spread out, while smaller, red-orange balls swiftly flew out in several directions, each splitting into four smaller balls, which then spread out... and Raidou wobbles]

Nnngh...

Don't push yourself.

[faithfultenko.livejournal.com]

Agreed! Danmaku isn't something you should stress your health over!

[gegege-no-ge.livejournal.com]

At some point, Kitaro breaks away from his own practice.

That's very impressive, Raidou-san. I wish I could say the same about my own attacks.

[aboyandhiscat.livejournal.com]

It's not all me though.

[He pushes himself off the ground]

[gegege-no-ge.livejournal.com]

Eh? What do you mean?

[aboyandhiscat.livejournal.com]

Part of the Demon's conscious stays with me and controls part of the pattern.

[gegege-no-ge.livejournal.com]

Hmm, but isn't that a little dangerous? Some youkai -- ah, demons might not be content with only a portion of consciousness.
