Seija Quest

[Tom]

> "Well...before I propose it, let me test something first, okay?"

> She nods

> Pick up Mokou's card and push it up against her hand.

> You pick up the card and push it towards her hand, after which the familiar writing starts glowing

> You also barely catch a glimpse of 5 dim flames just before it reached her hand

[Kilgamayan]

> "Ah, sorry, Card System Person, I'm not trying to take the card."
> Let go of the card.
> "That's good, though."
> Breathe and lower our voice.
> "Okay, Miss Mokou. What I'm thinking is that someone gets really small and sneaks into the clothes of someone we want to spy on. The small person rides along to the target's home nd hides until the target goes to sleep. Then the small person can sneak out and push the card into the sleeping target, and read it when it lights up."

[Tom]

> "Ah, sorry, Card System Person, I'm not trying to take the card."

> Mokou looks confused

> Let go of the card.
> "That's good, though."
> Breathe and lower our voice.

> "Oh!  You could go back to your inchling form to try and read it!  That sounds pretty risky though..."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Well...I could. But the crowd has seen me this size tonight. If I suddenly disappear, they might get suspicious, and keep an eye out for me at my usual size. I think it would be easier if it was someone else, someone that the crowd wouldn't think to keep an eye out for being tiny. Especially if I'm still this size."

[Tom]

> "Well...I could. But the crowd has seen me this size tonight. If I suddenly disappear, they might get suspicious, and keep an eye out for me at my usual size.

> Confused she asks "But who else can become that tiny?"

[Kilgamayan]

> "Anyone, if they're willing. ...Including you."

[Tom]

> "Anyone, if they're willing. ...Including you."

> Surprised she asks "Wait, I had no idea you can make me tiny!?"

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh yeah, it should be totally doable. You could even hide in the bottom of my robe until I distract the target long enough for you to sneak out from mine and into their clothing."

[Tom]

> "Oh yeah, it should be totally doable. You could even hide in the bottom of my robe until I distract the target long enough for you to sneak out from mine and into their clothing."

> Excitedly she responds "Alright then it's settled!" and tosses her cigar into the pond after taking one last puff

> "So... how exactly am I goinna get turned into an inchling?" she laughs

[Kilgamayan]

> "I can take care of that for you. I will warn you, though, you might suddenly find yourself someplace strange. If that happens, don't worry, I'll know where you are, and I'll retrieve you right away. Okay?"

[Tom]

> "I can take care of that for you. I will warn you, though, you might suddenly find yourself someplace strange. If that happens, don't worry, I'll know where you are, and I'll retrieve you right away. Okay?"

> With a little hesitation she responds "Uhh o-okay let's try it"

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "Okay. To make Miss Mokou inchling-sized..."
> Grab the mallet again, reach into our robe with it, and tap Seija, hoping she gets the hint to flip her size with Mokou's size.

[Tom]

> Nod.
> "Okay. To make Miss Mokou inchling-sized..."

> You feel a slight pinch immeidately after saying that

> Grab the mallet again, reach into our robe with it, and tap Seija, hoping she gets the hint to flip her size with Mokou's size.

> You reach into your robes and tap Seija with the mallet who responds with another pinch, before appearing infront of you in Mokou's spot with a slightly annoyed expression.

[Kilgamayan]

> Before doing anything else that will pass the time: Does Seija appear to have her card?

[Tom]

> You don't think she does...

[Kilgamayan]

> Slightly annoyed is probably Seija's default expression anyway. We'll deal with her in a moment.
> Look down at our robe, still continuing to speak with a quiet voice.
> "Miss Mokou? Are you there?"
> Reach into our robe and try to lightly pat Mokou once.
> Then feel for where we left Seija's card and pull it out, handing it over to Seija.

[Tom]

> Slightly annoyed is probably Seija's default expression anyway. We'll deal with her in a moment.

> That is indeed so

> Look down at our robe, still continuing to speak with a quiet voice.
> "Miss Mokou? Are you there?"

> Mokou responds "What is this!?  Am I in your pocket?"

> Reach into our robe and try to lightly pat Mokou once.

> You manage to find Mokou behind the bowl lid and pat her lightly

> Then feel for where we left Seija's card and pull it out, handing it over to Seija.

> Next to the bowl lid you find Seija's card and notice it has 5 glowing flames on it.  Upon handing it over to Seija though the flames disappear and the normal writing reappears.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Nah, just inside my robes."
> Look to Seija and silently nod our head toward the door.

[Tom]

> "Nah, just inside my robes."

> "O-Oh I see"

> Look to Seija and silently nod our head toward the door.

> Seija nods understandingly and heads inside the shrine before quietly sliding the door shut behind her


> You're once again Seija Kijin, the rebellious Amanojaku!

> Having just experienced what it's like to be a tool has renewed your fiery determination to successfully revolutionize Gensokyo.  You felt small, insignificant, only relevant for a particular purpose when tapped with the mallet...  You ponder what it must be like for the many lesser Youkai experiencing such things daily...

> Until you're interrupted by what sound like footsteps walking up to the shrine's front door.

[Kilgamayan]

> We got nothin' to hide. Head toward the sounds of those footsteps.

[Tom]

> We got nothin' to hide. Head toward the sounds of those footsteps.

> Before you reach the door Reimu slides it open and enters before closing it once more.

> Surprised she asks "Huh!?  Is this where you've been hiding?" while pointing towards the guest room
> With a somewhat inquisitive tone she comments "Wasn't the whole reason you came to accompany Shinmyoumaru?  What good is hiding in *my shrine* going to do to keep those *big scary Youkai* from intimidating the little inchling princess?"

[Kilgamayan]

> Wave a hand dismissively, but also take on a casual tone.
> "She's fine. Didn't you see her wandering around earlier? Just as tall as everyone else?"

[Tom]

> Wave a hand dismissively, but also take on a casual tone.
> "She's fine. Didn't you see her wandering around earlier? Just as tall as everyone else?"

> Still somewhat annoyed she responds "Fine.  You better not be pillaging my supplies in here alone, I'll have you both evicted from the shrine if I find anything missing!"

> Reimu then walks over to the kitchen to make some tea
> While warming up the water she asks again inquisitively "Also, where the heck were you when that despicable doll appeared?  Or do you know nothing of it?"

[Kilgamayan]

> Join her in the kitchen.
> "Around. Thinking about the situation where no one could interrupt me. And if you're worried about me stealing stuff, you can just pat me down or something. Or check yourself out for contraband or whatever after we switch with each other."

[Tom]

> Join her in the kitchen.
> "Around. Thinking about the situation where no one could interrupt me. And if you're worried about me stealing stuff, you can just pat me down or something. Or check yourself out for contraband or whatever after we switch with each other."

> In response Reimu pulls a giant persuasion needle out from her sleeve to pat you down but comes up empty handed!
> A little embarrassed she apologizes "S-sorry, but things seem to d-disappear on a daily basis around here!"

> Shortly after the water starts boiling she takes a tray out to put it on and leaves via the front door.

> You're now Fujiwara no Mokou, the Figure of the Person of Hourai!

> After agreeing to her plan princess Shinmyoumaru has transformed you into an inchling in order to find out what's on that Alice girl's spell card.  You're now sitting next to a large bowl lid hidden in her robe.

[Kilgamayan]

> "So, uh...am I staying here, or what?"

[Tom]

> "So, uh...am I staying here, or what?"

> "Y-you can come out now, I-I was just making sure no-one saw you transform, that's all."

> She slides the bowl lid out from her robe and places you on top of it.

[Kilgamayan]

> How does she look, from our perspective?
> "Thanks. So you're gonna chat up Alice, and I'm going to slip into her dress from under your robe, then?"

[Tom]

> How does she look, from our perspective?

> Like a giant!  No wonder Shinmyoumaru hates being small!

> "Thanks. So you're gonna chat up Alice, and I'm going to slip into her dress from under your robe, then?"

> She smiles "That's the plan!"
> Shinmyoumaru then places you on the ground and hides the bowl lid before getting up and walking around the shrine towards the front yard.

[Kilgamayan]

> Whoa, whoa, whoa! Chase after her and get up under and inside her robe before she gets too far away!
