closing the vote now, with 3 votes Drinking with Suika wins out, time to plan out shenanigans that would make Sanguine go, "bro time to cut you off"
Update should be out sometime today
[X][Drinking with an Oni] Accept her offer and suggest drinking right now
"Well how about we drink now?" You ask as you stretch slightly. The spar had been very invigorating to you and you felt a surge of energy from having been able to move properly.
The glint in Suikas eyes almost makes you regret your words. Before you can take back your words she's handing you a sake dish which she is filling from her ever present gourd. Shrugging you toss it back and break out into a coughing fit.
"Haha! Too strong for you eh?" Suika laughs at your misfortune drink, refilling the dish once more in between taking gulps straight from the gourd herself.
You manage to drink the second one without issues, a challenge in your eyes. It's not long before you're on your fourth dish, then your sixth, your eighth, long pass when you would have stopped but Suika kept refilling the dish and it was strong enough you were happy to drink more.
That's when things go weird.
--------
With a groan you come to, head feeling like there's an entire Spellcard Duel going on in there between every member of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, fairy maids included. You try to recall what happened, you vaguely remember having your thirteenth drink before Reimu finally came down to scold the two of you for loitering and you decided to go drinking somewhere else.
There was something about mushrooms, the human village. An Angry Keine. Sunflowers, a giant catfish? A giant robot and forming a sentai team to fight it. Getting a bear angry enough to chase and then running from it. Bear stew.
Shaking your head, before groaning as that was a massive mistake, you look around to try and figure out where you are.
Where do you wake up.
[][I gotta Hangover] With a familiar knife in your forehead, and the familiar sites of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, though they are slightly askew.
[][I gotta Hangover] on the ground surrounded by bamboo, a rabbit eared girl poking you with a stick
[][I gotta Hangover] On your back, floating in some water, the sound of a waterfall and machinery nearby
[][I gotta Hangover] Upside Down hanging from a tree, a rope around your ankles and dolls swarming the ground underneath you
[][I gotta Hangover] At a bar, another drink quickly shoved into your hands by a horned blue skinned man, his head tilted back with laughter
[][I gotta Hangover] Leaning over a rock, looking down at the clouds, and a rope with some paper streamers
[][I gotta Hangover] With a cup of tea in your hands, looking out at a well maintained sunflower garden
Hmm... no catfish? [X][I gotta Hangover] With a familiar knife in your forehead, and the familiar sites of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, though they are slightly askew.
closing the vote so I can start writing, gonna apologize in advance if I fuck up Tenshi's personality, it's not one I'm used to, I have the stuff planned for that vote, just not 100% on my Tenshi characterization
also any possibility of Touhou 18 crowd showing up?
I meant to answer this, but unfortunately no, due to not knowing a thing about them, let alone how their personalities are, I most likely wont be adding anyone form the newest game, and probably not 16 or 17 either

"Wow, I don't think I've ever seen someone do that," A voice says as you puke over the side of the rock from vertigo and the sheer pain of your hangover.
Turning onto your back you look up at a blue haired girl grinning down at you, dressed in a white blouse and blue skirt, white apron with rainbow frill and a hat with two peaches on each side.
"Hey, not sure if you'd remember me, but that was one hell of a path of chaos you just left in your wake," The girl says cheerily, ignoring your groan, "Name's Tenshi, Suika left you up here to go crash at her own place."
Moving into a sitting position you find yourself sitting on a floating boulder of some kind, in the middle of the sky, with no way up or down that you can see.
Tenshi's grin becomes a bit angrier as she leans down saying, "So, first thing's first, you're gonna go get the Sword of Hisou back and return it to me from wherever you stashed it, or I'm gonna level that mansion you like so much to rubble with an earthquake."
[][Angry Celestial] Go get the Sword of Hisou, from, somewhere, Suika might know more.
[][Angry Celestial] She's threatening the Scarlet Devil Mansion, do your duty Gatekeeper
Short update but the next ones will hopefully be longer.
[X][Angry Celestial] She's threatening the Scarlet Devil Mansion, do your duty Gatekeeper
Always nice to see Meiling actually doing her job. Besides, with how much alcohol Suika probably stuffed in her it'll be a week before she remembers anything about a sword.
[X][Angry Celestial] Go get the Sword of Hisou, from, somewhere, Suika might know more.
While it is our job to beat up threats to the mansion, I do feel like this is partially our fault to begin with, so I'd rather be nice and fix that part first, then beat her up for threatening the mansion.
Plus it seems kinda funny to go help Tenshi find her sword, give her the sword, and then beat her up.
[X][Angry Celestial] She's threatening the Scarlet Devil Mansion, do your duty Gatekeeper
While Meiling is on vacation, there is no reason to let the threats to the mansion go unanswered. Besides, maybe she can educate Tenshi on little things like 'asking politely'.
apologies for the delay in update, I am trying to figure out how to properly write out a spellcard duel, since that's how conflict is solved in Gensokyo and this is a conflict not a spar, so Tenshi is going straight into Spellcard Duel ruleset.
that and I've only ever been meh at fight scenes to begin with.
