Reflection: Swords of Mind/Supports/Marisa

==Marisa and Sanae==
===Rank C===
*Sanae: Okay, let's see… silver coin, I wish for my sword to be fixed by morning! …there we are. Now to get back to-
*Marisa: Hey, Sanae!
*Sanae: Marisa?! What are you doing here?
*Marisa: I'm just swimming. And, uh, searching for Silver at the bottom of the pool.
*Sanae: Isn't that stealing?
*Marisa: Not if nobody finds out!
*Sanae: I've found out. Hah! Busted!
*Marisa: …
*Sanae: Besides, we use that spare Silver to make wishes.
*Marisa: That's pretty weird, isn't it?
*Sanae: Look, if you steal the coins before the wishes come true, we'll have tossed our coins into the pool for nothing.
*Marisa: But what if the wishes HAVE come true?
*Sanae: There's no way of telling which coins are for which wishes, so it's best to not steal ANY wish coins.
*Marisa: Come to think of it, have you made any wishes?
*Sanae: For my sword to be fixed by the morning.
*Marisa: You don't need a wish for that!
*Sanae: Actually, that depends on the competency of the person who's doing the repairs.
*Marisa: And who did you give the sword to?
*Sanae: Ribbon.
*Marisa: Then go and throw another coin in the pool!
*Sanae: How do I know that this isn't a ploy to steal more Silver?
*Marisa: Because I want your wish to come true!
*Sanae: But earlier on you described wishes as weird…
*Marisa: I've changed my mind! Now throw the coin already!
===Rank B===
*Marisa: Hey, Sanae!
*Sanae: Oh, hi, Marisa!
*Marisa: Is that the sword you gave to Ribbon to fix?
*Sanae: Yes, and it's good as new, thanks to that coin I wished on!
*Marisa: Thanks to Ribbon, you mean.
*Sanae: Oh, you never know. That coin could have been the reason why it happened!
*Marisa: Drowning coins doesn't mean that wishes come true, ya know.
*Sanae: It could be. You never know.
*Marisa: Where's your proof?
*Sanae: You know how people throw their money into fountains, right? Well, when they do, they're giving money to the gods. And it's because they're given the money that the gods are happy to make wishes come true!
*Marisa: Oh! So when you're chucking Silver into the pool, you're asking Suwako to do you a favour?
*Sanae: Any god, really. Though I don't know many others.
*Marisa: Oh, and by the way?
*Sanae: What is it, Marisa?
*Marisa: Can I steal that coin from the pool?
*Sanae: No, you cannot.
*Marisa: But the wish came true, right?
*Sanae: Someone else might have thrown their Silver in there, so if you try to take my coin, you might steal a wish that hasn't come true.
*Marisa: The gods should have the wishes already. So they wouldn't need the coins.
*Sanae: What if they forget about the wishes?
*Marisa: Oh. Never thought about that.
===Rank A===
*Sanae: Okay, I'll put this string on my coin… and now, silver coin, I wish for the missing pages in the cookbook to be replaced!
*Marisa: Hey, what are these pages for?
*Sanae: Can I see, Marisa?
*Marisa: Knock yourself out!
*Sanae: Hmm… these are the missing pages from the cookbook!
*Marisa: Darn, I knew they looked familiar!
*Sanae: Come to think of it, I just made a wish for the pages to be replaced. Now I don't need that wish, thanks to you!
*Marisa: Aww, thanks! I think? Anyway, what are you going to do with that wish?
*Sanae: You can take the coin back.
*Marisa: But what if I steal someone else's wish?
*Sanae: Oh, don't worry. I've put a string on that coin, just in case you want to steal it.
*Marisa: Again, thanks! Now, I just need to put these pages back…
*Sanae: I can do that for you.
*Marisa: Oh my gosh, stop making me thank you!
*Sanae: There's nothing wrong with thanking people, Marisa…
*Marisa: There is when I have to do it too much!
==Marisa and Reimu==
===Rank C===
*Marisa: Hey, Reimu?
*Reimu: What is it, Marisa?
*Marisa: Lucina just called you out for being a snitch.
*Reimu: Oh? Why's that?
*Marisa: Ya know how Owain broke three plates trying to deliver dinner, right?
*Reimu: …oh, yes. I recall that.
*Marisa: Well, I talked to him about it, and he told me that he wanted it kept a secret… but FIVE SECONDS LATER, I saw you telling everyone about it!
*Reimu: Sorry, I didn't know that he wanted it secret.
*Marisa: Don't apologise to me! Apologise to Owain!
*Reimu: Well, don't call me out for being a snitch!
*Marisa: It was Lucina who called you out for it to begin with!
*Reimu: Come to think about it, why didn't you call me out for snitching first?
*Marisa: I wanted to stay out of it. Because at least my dad isn't an ageist, insensitive ghost king.
*Reimu: Ah… well, thank you, Marisa.
*Marisa: No problem, Reimu. Just be sure to apologise to Owain for the snitching.
*Reimu: (Whose side is she on?)
===Rank B===
*Reimu: Marisa?
*Marisa: What's up, Reimu?
*Reimu: Lucina's called more people out for snitching.
*Marisa: What the- who did she call out this time?
*Reimu: Well, first she called me out again…
*Marisa: For Episode Owain?
*Reimu: Yes, even though I apologised to him twice.
*Marisa: Now, who else did she call out?
*Reimu: …then she called out Severa, because she told on Inigo for cutting a water glass in half with his sword.
*Marisa: Okay, THAT'S something I'd happily snitch on him for.
*Reimu: …and a few minutes ago, she called you out for stealing Sanae's favourite book.
*Marisa: Oh, this is absolutely PERFECT!
*Reimu: …Marisa?
*Marisa: Give her a few more days, and that girl's gonna get me, you and Severa into absolute hellfire!
*Reimu: Excuse me?
*Marisa: Soon she'll tell everyone in the camp that we snitched once or twice, and then we'll be called the Snitches of Eastwick and we'll have to evacuate the country!
*Reimu: Calm down, Marisa! My eardrums are in jeopardy!
*Marisa: …sorry. Kinda got carried away there.
*Reimu: Apology accepted. Now, might I ask you another question?
*Marisa: Is it about the book I stole from Sanae?
*Reimu: You know me too well.
*Marisa: Yeah, she promised me that I could read the blurb.
*Reimu: Oh! That means that Lucina's spreading false rumours!
*Marisa: I swear, that girl's gonna get a beating next time she lies like that!
*Reimu: She's a princess, Marisa! If you hurt her…
*Marisa: Do I look like I give a darn?! She's snitched on us snitches for the LAST TIME, and royal heritage won't stop me from doing to her what I'll happily do to Chrom!
===Rank A===
*Marisa: Okay, so I've snitched twice, Reimu once, Severa five times…
*Reimu: Marisa?
*Marisa: Oh, hey. I'm tallying how many times us snitches have snitched.
*Reimu: I see. Hold on, though, did you say that Severa has snitched FIVE TIMES?
*Marisa: Yep. Since I first met her, anyway.
*Reimu: Since you first met her?
*Marisa: Looks like the kinda girl who snitches on everyone. Even her parents.
*Reimu: Marisa, it's not good to jump to conclusions…
*Marisa: I'll FLY to conclusions if I have to! And if I didn't share my money with all the rest of us, I'd bet a million Silver that I flew to the right conclusion!
*Reimu: I don't think we even have a million Silver. Besides, we need that for our weapons, don't we?
*Marisa: Yep. Although…
*Reimu: What is it?
*Marisa: If Severa's the biggest snitch we've got here… and Lucina snitches on snitches…
*Reimu: (Oh, dear gods, where is this heading?)
*Marisa: …that makes Lucina an even BIGGER snitch!
*Reimu: I'm not sure that's how snitching works.
*Marisa: It's maths! Snitching on snitches equals worse snitching!
*Reimu: Which of us has the better maths qualifications?
*Marisa: Okay. You got me there.
==Marisa and Youmu==
===Rank C===
*Marisa: Okay, sorting time! These are my meds… which I share with Reimu and Sanae… and these are… wait, whose are these?
*Youmu: What are you doing, Marisa?
*Marisa: Hey, Youmu. I'm sorting everyone's meds.
*Youmu: Meds?
*Marisa: Yeah. The stuff you take when you're sick. Like, actually properly sick, without being injured.
*Youmu: (Did Marisa turn into a valley girl overnight?) Can I see that bottle?
*Marisa: Be my guest!
*Youmu: Let's see… I think this is medicine from Lucina's kingdom.
*Marisa: How do you know?
*Youmu: Oh, Lucina told me all about it. She also told me that she bought two brands of medicine.
*Marisa: Why'd she need two brands?
*Youmu: One for the men and one for the women.
*Marisa: The boys and the girls, you mean. There aren't any grown-ups among Lucina's ranks.
*Youmu: Not grown-ups, but teenagers. And teenagers still deserve to be called men and women, not boys and girls.
*Marisa: Says who?
*Youmu: Says Youmu Konpaku, gardener of the Netherworld, and partner to Marisa Kirisame in her medicine-sorting business.
*Marisa: It's not my business. I just got chosen on the rota.
*Youmu: Anyway, why don't we talk more later? I can hear Lady Yuyuko calling.
*Marisa: Okay. And by the way, Youmu? I need that medicine back.
===Rank B===
*Marisa: Hey! Youmu!
*Youmu: What is it, Marisa?
*Marisa: I totally finished sorting all the meds.
*Youmu: (Goodness, she really IS like a valley girl, isn't she?) That's good to hear.
*Marisa: Well, like, thanks.
*Youmu: Now then, how many kinds of medicine were there?
*Marisa: There's the Gensokyo brand - for me and the shrine maidens. Then there's the Hoshidan brand… then there's the OTHER Hoshidan brand that Hinata uses…
*Youmu: The one that burned the roof of his mouth?
*Marisa: Yes, THAT Hoshidan brand. Oh, there's also Susie's personal medicine, and the Popstar brand, and the Halcandran-
*Youmu: Halcandran?
*Marisa: Magolor. It's his medicine.
*Youmu: And let me guess. The two of Lucina's medicines?
*Marisa: Yep.
*Youmu: So the non-humans don't have any medicine?
*Marisa: Nope. Don't think they ever get sick.
*Youmu: Not even Nazrin?
*Marisa: I bet that she's sick all the time.
*Youmu: Why, you… saying that mice are unsanitary creatures is an outdated stereotype!
*Marisa: How do you know that I was calling her unsanitary?
*Youmu: Because you just implied that she's SO unsanitary that she gives herself disease!
*Marisa: Did I explicitly say that lack of cleanliness causes disease?
*Youmu: No, you didn't, but that's besides the point!
*Marisa: Well, gotta go! Don't want an argument to start, do you?
*Youmu: Marisa, wait! …ugh. That little valley girl-tongued nuisance…
===Rank A===
*Youmu: Wait a second, Shou! Can I see your sickness report? …thank you! Now, let's see. Over the last seven days… three people have been off sick?
*Marisa: Hey, Youmu!
*Youmu: Marisa?
*Marisa: I wanted to say that I'm sorry for implying that Nazrin's unsanitary.
*Youmu: Apology accepted. Now, then, according to this sickness report…
*Marisa: Can I see?
*Youmu: I don't see what's stopping you. Anyway, as this says…
*Marisa: Byakuren, Miko and Futo?
*Youmu: …have all been off sick.
*Marisa: How's that possible? They're the cleanest of all of us, and they don't even have their own medicine!
*Youmu: It seems that we were wrong in thinking that non-humans don't need medicine.
*Marisa: What about Magolor and Taranza? They have medicine, don't they?
*Youmu: Come to think of it, they do. But why not the Buddhists or the Taoists?
*Marisa: Maybe they think that medicine contains the souls of dead animals.
*Youmu: Dead PLANTS, actually. Besides, the last time I checked, the vegetarian diet doesn't prohibit the consumption of medicine.
*Marisa: Yeah, Youmu, we're going to have to steal some Silver tonight.
*Youmu: Why do you say that?
*Marisa: Because we need to get some vegan medicine for them!
*Youmu: All medicine is vegan, Marisa!
*Marisa: Doesn't say that on the bottle!
*Youmu: It doesn't say it on the bottle because you shouldn't need confirmation!
*Marisa: Well, you can never be too sure, can ya?
==Marisa and Yuyuko==
===Rank C===
*Yuyuko: Now, then, the cherry blossom tree goes here… the chamomile goes here… the mirror goes here…
*Marisa: Hey, Yuyuko! I need to ask you something!
*Yuyuko: …the book goes in the bookshelf… the pillow goes on the bed…
*Marisa: YUYUKO!
*Yuyuko: Gah! Marisa, do you mind? This is my bedroom, after all.
*Marisa: Does it matter? I'm trying to ask you to do something for me?
*Yuyuko: Well, that will have to wait until I've finished doing room service, won't it?
*Marisa: You're doing room service in your OWN bedroom?
*Yuyuko: Yes. It's self-sufficient.
*Marisa: Whatever. I've still got something to ask of you, ya know.
*Yuyuko: Well, it can wait until I get to room service on your room.
*Marisa: It's urgent! I need you to strip my bed for me!
*Yuyuko: …ah, so that's what you needed me for? Well, I find that rather pointless.
*Marisa: Pointless?!
*Yuyuko: As I'm on room service right now, I'll be stripping everyone's bed for them. So you didn't really need to ask me that favour.
*Marisa: Well, I did, and there's no un-asking it now. Though I do suppose that I should have looked at the rota beforehand…
*Yuyuko: What? You don't look at the rota?
*Marisa: Nope! I just wait until people tell me when it's my turn on something!
*Yuyuko: Why, that's unfortunate… because nobody's told you that you have to hang the washing today.
*Marisa: What?! Our rota includes hanging up the washing?
*Yuyuko: It does. Oh, but you don't actually have to hang the washing. Taranza found out and did it for you.
*Marisa: I thought he was supposed to be fixing the broken weapons?
*Yuyuko: That was last week.
===Rank B===
*Marisa: What?! I have to clean the tables today? Alright, thanks! Leave the tables' cleanliness to Marisa Kirisame!
*Yuyuko: Marisa?
*Marisa: Hey, Yuyuko. I was just about to clean the tables.
*Yuyuko: Well, you should probably go and do it.
*Marisa: Wait a sec. You look like you want to ask me something.
*Yuyuko: Hmm, you're a clever one… well, I'll go ahead and tell you. What you've been told is wrong. It's actually my job to clean the tables today.
*Marisa: What the- don't tell me that Inigo lied to me!
*Yuyuko: I'd doubt that he'd lie. He's too good-natured a boy…
*Marisa: Too good-natured a TEEN.
*Yuyuko: …too good-natured a teen, even, to ever tell a lie.
*Marisa: He lied to Lucina about his bow. The darned thing broke literally a minute after he said, "I'm fine! My bow's in perfect condition!".
*Yuyuko: That was a lie for Lucina's sake.
*Marisa: Well, lying to me about who's got to clean the tables isn't for anyone's sake, is it?
*Yuyuko: That's exactly why he didn't lie.
*Marisa: Oh, what do you know, corpse girl?
*Yuyuko: Corpse WOMAN, I think you mean.
*Marisa: Whatever.
*Yuyuko: Well, I saw the rota beforehand, unlike you, so I knew the order off by heart. That's why I knew that I've been tasked with table-cleaning today, not you.
*Marisa: Oh, well aren't you a clever corpse gi- corpse WOMAN, I mean.
*Yuyuko: Anyhow, I've got tables to clean. And you, Marisa, have to gather wood for the fire.
*Marisa: What fire? The one we use to keep warm or the one we use to cook?
*Yuyuko: Both.
===Rank A===
*Yuyuko: Hmm, hmm, hm-hmm, hmm, hm, hm-hm-hm-hm-hmm…
*Marisa: Hey, Yuyuko?
*Yuyuko: What is it, Marisa?
*Marisa: Can you please clear out? I've got to tidy your room.
*Yuyuko: Oh, don't worry about me. Tidy my room in my presence.
*Marisa: Alright! So, first I've got to strip the bed…
*Yuyuko: Do you know how to strip the bed?
*Marisa: Why did I ask you that favour way back when?
*Yuyuko: Because you can't strip the bed, of course. Here, let me help you…
*Marisa: Uh, Yuyuko?
*Yuyuko: Yes?
*Marisa: You're looking at the wrong side of the bed. The buttons are over there.
*Yuyuko: Oh, so they are. Do you mind if you undo them?
*Marisa: Why me? Aren't you stripping the bed?
*Yuyuko: No, you're stripping the bed, and I'm just trying to help you. And, since you know that you have to undo the buttons to get the cover off the duvet…
*Marisa: That's changing the duvet cover! Stripping the bed is something different entirely!
*Yuyuko: Oh? But I thought that stripping the bed INCLUDED changing the duvet cover.
*Marisa: Well, I don't think it does.
*Yuyuko: Then it doesn't include changing the pillow covers, either?
*Marisa: Nope. I don't even think the pillows are part of the bed…
*Yuyuko: You need them to rest your head, don't you?
*Marisa: Look. I sleep every night without a pillow, and-
*Yuyuko: Do you really?
*Marisa: Nope. I was just messing with ya.
==Marisa and Byakuren==
===Rank C===
*Marisa: Hmm… hmm-hmm… hmm-hmm, hm-hm-hm-hmm, hmm-hmm… wait, what?!
*Byakuren: What's going on, Marisa?
*Marisa: Did we have any glasses this big before?
*Byakuren: Well… no, nothing this big.
*Marisa: Huh, I wonder how this got here… is this a pint glass or something?
*Byakuren: Might I ask what you mean by a "pint glass"?
*Marisa: The name says it all! Just a glass that can hold a pint!
*Byakuren: Okay. Hmm, could that be used as a substitute water jug?
*Marisa: Nah, it's way to small. Maybe someone wants to start a drinking party?
*Byakuren: Wha-?! A drinking party?
*Marisa: Yeah, people use pint glasses to contain alcohol.
*Byakuren: Oh, gods! That's a violation to one of the moral precepts!
*Marisa: What, the one that you think Suwako broke?
*Byakuren: No, the one saying that you should not take intoxicating substances that cloud the mind.
*Marisa: Ah. That makes a lot more sense - though alcohol can kill in huge amounts…
*Byakuren: Yes, but that's not the most of my worries. If anyone in the camp consumes alcohol, it will weaken their ability to fight!
*Marisa: Byakuren?
*Byakuren: I have to get the pint glass out of this camp! The last thing we want is to have a drunken army!
*Marisa: …and there she goes. For a Buddhist, she certainly is a madwoman…
===Rank B===
*Marisa: *sigh* BYAKUUUUUUUREN!
*Byakuren: Oh, Marisa? I've found another four pint glasses - and moved them out of harm's way.
*Marisa: Well, that's cool. You can increase that count to five right here.
*Byakuren: You found another? Here, let me take it away…
*Marisa: Ya know, I'm thinking of ways to make use of those pint glasses…
*Byakuren: Don't tell me that you want to start a drinking par-
*Marisa: No! Far from it! I want to avoid the possibility of a drinking party!
*Byakuren: So, what plans do you have?
*Marisa: Well, Plan A - Sanae's idea - is to get the pint glasses recycled. As in, broken down and used to make something else.
*Byakuren: That sounds good.
*Marisa: Plan B is Magolor's idea. I swap out all the glasses at the dinner table for the pint glasses, so everyone can have a pint of water with their meal!
*Byakuren: Oh… kay…
*Marisa: And Plan C was Taranza's idea - I destroy all the glasses and pretend that it was an accident!
*Byakuren: …
*Marisa: So, which plan should I go with?
*Byakuren: Definitely Plan A.
*Marisa: Alright, thanks for your input! Now, where did you stash all the pint glasses?
===Rank A===
*Byakuren: Hmmm… hmm-hmmm… hmmm, hm-hm-hmm-hmmm…
*Marisa: Oh, hey, Byakuren.
*Byakuren: Hello again, Marisa. I've found another pint glass for you to recycle.
*Marisa: Nah, don't worry about the recycling plan. I've found an even better thing to do with the pint glasses!
*Byakuren: Please tell me that you haven't smashed them all…
*Marisa: Nope. I had them made into a water jug!
*Byakuren: That IS recycling, though.
*Marisa: Well, uh… yeah!
*Byakuren: Though, what should we do with this last pint glass?
*Marisa: Uh… I know! Why don't we wait to see if there are any other pint glasses on the way?
*Byakuren: Oh, that's a good plan! Then, if we get enough of them, we can make another jug for another drink!
*Marisa: …and if we don't get enough glasses for a jug, then we can always turn those pint glasses into extra normal glasses!
*Byakuren: We don't need more glasses, Marisa. We have one for everybody.
*Marisa: But if we had TWO for everybody, everyone can ask for two different drinks.
*Byakuren: You're not as silly as you look, Marisa. Now, let's go!
*Marisa: Go where?
*Byakuren: To hunt for more pint glasses to recycle!
==Marisa and Miko==
===Rank C===
*Miko: Okay, this goes here… and…
*Marisa: Miko?
*Miko: Marisa?
*Marisa: What're you doing?
*Miko: Oh, I'm just making a banner for my 1397th anniversary as a saint.
*Marisa: One thousand three hundred and- have you SERIOUSLY been a saint for that long?
*Miko: Yes. That's exactly why I'm making decorations for this prestigious event.
*Marisa: Miko, how many people know that you're a saint?
*Miko: Most of our group, I believe.
*Marisa: Good. Because if they thought you were properly alive, you'd never hear the end of their jokes.
*Miko: What, jokes about me still being alive?
*Marisa: No, jokes about you being an old bat!
*Miko: Well, how many old bats still have no grey hairs at this age?
*Marisa: You COULD be dying your hair… but you have a point.
*Miko: Dying? Are you suggesting that I should kill my hair?
*Marisa: No! Not at all! That's not even what dying means!
===Rank B===
*Marisa: Hm-hm-hm-hm-hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm…
*Miko: That table isn't going to lay itself, Marisa.
*Marisa: Gah! Miko!
*Miko: Come on, Marisa. Am I REALLY that unsettling?
*Marisa: You, you… your hair! You've DYED it!
*Miko: My hair's still alive, Marisa…
*Marisa: That's not what I mean! Your hair has a grey streak in it!
*Miko: A silver streak, I prefer to call it. That's what Susie said it was, anyway…
*Marisa: S-SUSIE put you up to this?
*Miko: Does anyone else know how to change the colours of hair?
*Marisa: No, but still… do you WANT everyone to think that you're an ancient hag?!
*Miko: Actually, you have a fair point.
*Marisa: Miko, do you know where Susie is?
*Miko: Doing the laundry. Why do you ask?
*Marisa: I need to get her to do a counter-dying job! Until then, wear my hat so that people don't see your streak!
*Miko: Well… alright, but what about laying the table?
*Marisa: You can lay the table! And, uh, what's your job today?
*Miko: Cleaning the downstair-
*Marisa: Then I'LL clean the downstairs! Seeya, Miko!
*Miko: …and she's off like an arrow. Well, I did say that the table can't lay itself… so I have some work to get over and done with!
===Rank A===
*Marisa: Huh? Where's my hat? I swear that I had it with me last night…
*Miko: Oh, hello, Marisa. I believe today's the day…
*Marisa: What day?
*Miko: …my 1397th anniversary as a saint.
*Marisa: Oh, right! I completely for- wait. Is that. My hat?!
*Miko: No, it's a substitute hat. You see… the counter-dying job was a complete failure. Now all of my hair is silver - or grey, rather. So I'm hiding it under a hat.
*Marisa: Wait, so where's MY hat?
*Miko: Right here.
*Marisa: Wait, when did you steal it?
*Miko: I stole it first thing in the morning. Then I gave it to Futo so that she could sew a substitute hat…
*Marisa: Oh. Never thought she'd be that good at making hats… all I really thought she was good at is committing arson.
*Miko: …
*Marisa: Sorry, Miko. Or rather, send my apologies to Futo.
*Miko: Alright, I'll be ready to deliver the apology for you. But first, I need to get the decorations handled.
*Marisa: What decorations? …oh, yeah, your 1397th anniversary as a saint.
*Miko: Well, I've got to get decorating. Goodbye!
==Marisa and Susie==
===Rank C===
*Marisa: The red wine, the red wine… where's the red wine?
*Susie: Why do you need red wine, Marisa?
*Marisa: I want to use it to make dinner.
*Susie: Is it really such a good idea?
*Marisa: Don't worry, I don't want anyone to get drunk.
*Susie: …then what's the red wine for?
*Marisa: Shou says that it's "cooking wine". You put it in the dish while it's cooking, and the heat burns out the alcohol!
*Susie: Ah, I see. But what if the alcohol didn't burn out?
*Marisa: Then my pasta would make everyone drunk. But really, where's the red wine?
*Susie: Somewhere inconvenient, given what you're saying… have you checked the top cupboard?
*Marisa: Where all the glasses are? Nope, but I'd better… AH! There's the red wine!
*Susie: That's good. Though, does the recipe tell you to use red wine?
*Marisa: Yep, and I can't disobey the cookbook. I suck at cooking, so I ALWAYS take the recipes by the book.
*Susie: Well, that's understandable.
===Rank B===
*Susie: Hmm, hmm, hm-hmm, hmm-hm-hm-hm-hmm… oh, hello, Marisa.
*Marisa: Susie, do you know who made that shrimp we had for lunch?
*Susie: Uh… me. Why do you ask?
*Marisa: It was horrible! The shrimp were so undercooked that they were probably still alive!
*Susie: Well, I'm sorry if the shrimp weren't to your liking…
*Marisa: Not just my liking! Nobody liked them, and even people too polite to normally say anything had words against them!
*Susie: Oh.
*Marisa: What did you use to cook them, anyway?
*Susie: This microwave. I just made it from scratch. It heats food by…
*Marisa: Susie, that microwave has worse cooking qualifications than you! Why did you make it in the first place?
*Susie: Because I'm a terrible chef, that's why. I'm rather used to using the microwave to cook back at home…
*Marisa: Well, I'm afraid that the microwave won't cut it. Especially not for shrimp.
*Susie: What do you think WILL cut it, Marisa?
*Marisa: Hmm, not quite sure… wait! I've got it! I'll give you cooking lessons!
*Susie: Don't you say that you're the worst chef in the camp?
*Marisa: I WAS, then you built your microwave.
*Susie: So, what's your analogy for learning from the other worst chef?
*Marisa: Easy! If you learn from a sucker like me, there's nowhere to go but up!
*Susie: Well, I could always go back to the microwa-
*Marisa: Nope! That microwave is out of here!
*Susie: Marisa! Don't throw the microwave out the window!
*Marisa: Okay, okay, I won't! I'll just get Magolor or somebody to dismantle it.
*Susie: I could always do the dismantli-
*Marisa: Not when I'm teaching you to cook, you couldn't!
*Susie: Well, that also means that you can't teach me. Because you're delivering it to Magolor to dismantle.
*Marisa: I'll tell you what. Cooking lessons are off - for now. I'll just go give this to Magolor… ugh, what's this microwave made of?
===Rank A===
*Susie: Marisa? Do you have a minute?
*Marisa: Sure! You don't want to start your cooking lessons, do you?
*Susie: I'd love to start. Now, what should we make?
*Marisa: Hmm, let's see… too hard, too many ingredients… ah! Perfect rice! This is a good one!
*Susie: Okay, perfect rice it is. What do I have to do?
*Marisa: Get the rice, for one. And some water. And maybe some seasoning?
*Susie: What's seasoning?
*Marisa: I have NO idea!
*Susie: Well, let's skip the seasoning part. It doesn't seem to be necessary.
*Marisa: Okay, now let's see what the cookery book says…
*Susie: Don't worry, Marisa, I can read. Step One: Fill the pan with rice and pour some water onto it…
*Marisa: Alright! You add the rice, then I'll add the water.
*Susie: How much rice?
*Marisa: What does the recipe say?
*Susie: Four hundred grams. I'll just get my scales…
*Marisa: You have your own scales?
*Susie: Yes. Weighing scales, not fish scales, rest assured.
*Marisa: Why'd I think that you have fish scales?
*Susie: I'm not sure…
*Marisa: Just… let's get going with the recipe.
*Susie: Alright, that's enough rice. You can add the water now!
*Marisa: Got it! What does step two say?
*Susie: Step Two: Heat the rice. Stir and add more water at regular intervals.
*Marisa: I'll keep with the water! Your job is to light the fire!
*Susie: Okay! Good thing that we have a fireplace ready… there! Now to place the pan on… and start stirring!
*Marisa: Keep stirring! Tell me when to add water! I'll check the recipe! …uh, Step Three: Once the rice is simmering, place a lid on the pan for fifteen minutes, forty if using brown rice…
*Susie: Our rice is definitely white, so fifteen minutes.
*Marisa: Fifteen minutes till when?
*Susie: Until the rice is ready - after I put the lid on.
*Marisa: Oh, right! So we have to keep going with the stirring!
*Susie: Right! I'll keep going! (Cooking is really stressful…)
*Marisa: (I so hope that I never have to teach cooking again after this…)
==Marisa and Azura==
===Rank C===
*Marisa: Ugh! Why can I never do this properly?!
*Azura: What are you doing, Marisa?
*Marisa: Trying to get a thrown stone to bounce across the water to the other side of the pool.
*Azura: Oh?
*Marisa: Yeah, I saw Youmu do that the other day. If she can do it, why can't I?
*Azura: Well, I've only seen one person do something like that before.
*Marisa: Who was that?
*Azura: Corrin, my adoptive brother and the current king of Hoshido - after the massacre, that is.
*Marisa: Okay… how far did the stone go?
*Azura: It only bounced twice.
*Marisa: Well, that's good. Gives me something to beat. Okay…
*Azura: Oh, too bad, Marisa. Come to think of it, how will you get that stone back?
*Marisa: Don't need to. I can get a new one.
*Azura: Yes, but if you keep going, you'll fill the pool with stones. That would end up being very uncomfortable for the swimmers.
*Marisa: Actually? You have a point. I'd best go take them all back!
*Azura: Alright, but do it quickly. It's only a few minutes until the mens' time for swimming.
===Rank B===
*Marisa: Oh, so THAT'S how you do it! Thanks, Youmu! Now I just-
*Azura: Ack! Marisa!
*Marisa: Sorry, Azura! Should've looked while I ran-
*Azura: Were you talking about stone skimming to Youmu?
*Marisa: ?
*Azura: Remember, where you throw a stone in the attempt for it to bounce off the water?
*Marisa: Oh, yeah! We were. And I think I've got the trick down.
*Azura: What trick?
*Marisa: Trade secret!
*Azura: Why is that a trade secret?
*Marisa: Because if I tell you, you'll tell Takumi, then he'll tell Oboro and Hinata, then they'll leak the secret to everyone in the camp, and soon they'll all stop throwing coins into the pool and throw stones in instead.
*Azura: Oh. So you're doing this to stop the pool from becoming a lake of stones?
*Marisa: Yeaaah.
*Azura: Oh. By the way, Owain saw you throwing stones into the pool, and he wants to start doing it himself.
*Marisa: He WHAT?!
*Azura: He's tirelessly throwing stones into the pool himself. I don't think he's had any success, though.
*Marisa: …and did he clean up his mess when he was done?
*Azura: Not yet, I don't think.
*Marisa: Oh my gods, think of what he's doing to the innocent coins in the pool! I have to save the Silver! Seeya!
*Azura: Marisa, wait! …oh, she's gone. I didn't know that the silver in the pool meant so much to her…
===Rank A===
*Marisa: Okay! Watch out, Oboro! …oh my gosh, I did it! I got it all the way to the other end of the pool!
*Azura: You did? Congratulations, Marisa!
*Marisa: Heh, thanks! That was a total fluke, I have to admit…
*Azura: Wait, didn't you warn Oboro? Where is she?
*Marisa: Hiding under the water. It should be a few seconds before she bursts out again.
*Azura: Okay. Let's see how long it takes.
*Marisa: One, two, thre-
*Azura: Three seconds, then. Not very impressive.
*Marisa: Actually, she dived quite a while ago. So she was actually underwater for much more than three seconds.
*Azura: Do you propose that we take another sample?
*Marisa: Oh, sure. Hey, Oboro! Can you dive into the water again?
*Azura: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten…
*Marisa: Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty…
*Azura: Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three…
*Marisa: How's she still underwater?
*Azura: Oh, she's out. I've lost count, but I definitely got past twenty…
*Marisa: I've lost count, too.
*Azura: That might have something to do with how you stopped to question how she's still underwater?
*Marisa: What's so wrong with that?
*Azura: You could have said it more quietly.
*Marisa: You could have counted more loudly.
*Azura: Well, not everyone talks at the same volume.
*Marisa: You're right. Now, should we try a third sample?
*Azura: No, I think Oboro's done enough diving for one day.
==Marisa and Lucina==
===Rank C===
*Marisa: …Thunderbolt! Oh, that felt good!
*Lucina: Hello, Marisa.
*Marisa: Hey, Lucina!
*Lucina: Might I ask what just happened? I heard an explosion…
*Marisa: That's my magic practice. I just cast Thunderbolt on a target, and the target literally blew up!
*Lucina: What kind of target was this?
*Marisa: Just your everyday wooden target. The same one Takumi overloads with arrows!
*Lucina: …Marisa…
*Marisa: Sorry, Lucina?
*Lucina: Takumi needs that target, Marisa. In fact, so do all of our archers.
*Marisa: Well, what's stopping him from making a new target?
*Lucina: You could make the new target yourself. After all, the person who causes the problem should be the one to fix it.
*Marisa: That's a pretty bad mindset to have… but yeah, I'll make a new one!
*Lucina: (How is that a bad mindset?)
===Rank B===
*Lucina: I'll just add a little more spice… and it's nearly ready!
*Marisa: Hey, Lucina?
*Lucina: Marisa?! I thought that you were a hazard to the kitchen…
*Marisa: Yeah, but it's just as well that I'm not cooking anything. I have a question to ask ya.
*Lucina: I'll try to answer as best as I can.
*Marisa: What colour should I make the archery target?
*Lucina: What colour was the old archery target?
*Marisa: White, black, blue, red, gold. I think.
*Lucina: There's your answer.
*Marisa: Alright! Now I'm just gonna-
*Lucina: Before you go, I have a question to ask in return. Well, two, actually. Why is my mindset bad?
*Marisa: Because how can you expect a criminal to suddenly want to make up for their crimes?
*Lucina: Well, if the criminal undoes their offence, it shows that they have rehabilitated.
*Marisa: …and would the criminal actually WANT to undo their offence?
*Lucina: That depends on the criminal in question.
*Marisa: Well, fair enough! I still think that's a TERRIBLE mindset, but I'd rather not argue any further. Time to-
*Lucina: What about my other question?
*Marisa: Oh, yeah! You had another question for me! I totally didn't forget!
*Lucina: If you're only making a new target for archery, what do you think you can practice your magic on?
*Marisa: Easy! I'm asking Magolor to make a new, magic-proof target!
*Lucina: Well, that's good. Do you know what he plans to make it from?
*Marisa: Nope! I suggested glass, but he said that magic reflects off glass really easily. So he's using his own material.
*Lucina: What kind of material?
*Marisa: He didn't tell me. Said that it was only found on Halcandra.
*Lucina: Well, we can always wait and see, can't we?
*Marisa: (Yeah, but I doubt that seeing the target will give an answer…)
===Rank A===
*Lucina: Marisa? Marisa!
*Marisa: Lucina? Lucina!
*Lucina: Is that the target that Magolor made?
*Marisa: Yep! It's really interesting - it actually ABSORBS the magic, and it looks really cool when it does!
*Lucina: Oh, do you think you could show me?
*Marisa: Sure! I'll just… Scorch!
*Lucina: You're right! It does look very interesting… as if the magic is becoming a part of the target.
*Marisa: Yeah, it's amazing! Just don't touch the target.
*Lucina: Why not?
*Marisa: Magolor says that touching the target causes all of the absorbed magic to be discharged into whatever it's touching - in this case, your hand.
*Lucina: Has anybody touched the target before?
*Marisa: Taranza. He was Magolor's test dummy.
*Lucina: Did he say how much it hurt?
*Marisa: Only a little - but then again, Magolor had only cast a weak Fire spell on the target beforehand.
*Lucina: Well, that makes sense. Hmm, I wonder what he made the target from?
*Marisa: Halcandran substances that nobody's heard of.
*Lucina: Maybe I could get an idea if I feel the target!
*Marisa: No, don't! I've overloaded that target with the strongest magic I-
*Lucina: AAAAGH!
*Marisa: Oh my gods. I never expected her to be this much of an airhead…
