Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 3

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Take a couple of moments to parse what Yuugi said.
> Then smile and give her a curtsey.
> "Thank you, Lady Hoshiguma, for not underestimating her. Please pardon my early exit once again; I intend to return in short order."
> Place Suika down on her own two feet, scoop up Tokiko and Miko, one in each arm, and speed off back up the train tunnel.

Aya:

> Yuugi nods.
> You set Suika down and gather your group to take off.
> You speed past Daiyousei and some fairies,  then Spider girl and Greenie closer to the train area.
> At the train, you can see a heavy streak of icicles along the ground, through the tunnel you've been through.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Pardon me, Little Bird, but I think I'd like one hand free, just in case."
> Reposition Tokiko to slide into our cleavage feet-first, and then open our top so that she sinks down into it as much as she can.
> Then begin following the path of icicles, to see where they lead.

> Reposition Tokiko to slide into our cleavage feet-first, and then open our top so that she sinks down into it as much as she can.
> Then begin following the path of icicles, to see where they lead.

Aya:

> "Huh?" Tokiko questions, before you deposit her most of the way into the new method.
> A good fit. This stays mostly out of the way, but she's still out some.
> You follow the path as it gets filled with more signs of cold.
> By the time you get to the tunnel nearest to the Hakurei Shrine, the path is walled off by ice.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Does Tokiko still have her arms, or is she just a head and neck at this point?
> Frown at the wall.
> "Well, this is rather alarming...hm."
> Try sliding Miko into our cleavage feet-first as well, to see if she goes in at all, and if so, how much.

> Try sliding Miko into our cleavage feet-first as well, to see if she goes in at all, and if so, how much.

Aya:

> She's still got her shoulders and up.
> You try to deposit Miko, but it's clearly full. You don't think you can even squeeze your pen in.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Set Miko down on the ground on her own two feet, then.
> If we can do any part of out top back up, do as much as we can, stopping short of covering Tokiko's head.
> Walk over to the wall of ice and knock on it.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Set Miko down on the ground on her own two feet, then.
> If we can do any part of out top back up, do as much as we can, stopping short of covering Tokiko's head.
> Walk over to the wall of ice and knock on it.

Aya:

> You set Miko down.
> You can't.
> You knock but there's no answer
> "What?" You hear a surprised Reimu from further past the wall, as something shatters.
> "Hm. Shall I take us to the Hakurei Shrine?" Miko offers.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Is this the entrance to the underground that we took earlier?
> "...No, not yet. Well, at least not me yet. I still have some things to address back in the city."
> Call out to Reimu: "Reimu? Is that you? Can you hear us?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Is this the entrance to the underground that we took earlier?
> "...No, not yet. Well, at least not me yet. I still have some things to address back in the city."
> Call out to Reimu: "Reimu? Is that you? Can you hear us?"

Aya:

> It is, though the entrance opening is further ahead. This ice stops a good ways before it.
> "Aya? Er yeah. We're you chasing Cirno down? Did she do something?" Reimu questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Not that I'm aware of. I want to check on how she's doing, because I'm pretty sure she's not okay at the moment."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Not that I'm aware of. I want to check on how she's doing, because I'm pretty sure she's not okay at the moment."

Aya:

> "She seemed really fired up. Broke through my barrier and just flew past here. I guess she had other business. On the plus side, she didn't freeze my shrine."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Look to Miko.
> "Would you be willing and able to track her down, Lady Toyosatomimi? You don't need to retrieve her if she is moving with a purpose. Please just let her know I'm worried about her, and that I'm sorry I haven't given her the attention she deserves recently."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Look to Miko.
> "Would you be willing and able to track her down, Lady Toyosatomimi? You don't need to retrieve her if she is moving with a purpose. Please just let her know I'm worried about her, and that I'm sorry I haven't given her the attention she deserves recently."

Aya:

> "I'll try to catch up to her." Miko slips into that other world.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Wait! Before you leave!"
> If Miko does come back: "Nitori, do you have any of those communicators to spare? If we could give one to Lady Toyosatomimi and at least teach her how to contact Princess Himekaidou, that should be useful long-term."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Wait! Before you leave!"
> If Miko does come back: "Nitori, do you have any of those communicators to spare? If we could give one to Lady Toyosatomimi and at least teach her how to contact Princess Himekaidou, that should be useful long-term."

Aya:

> You get in a wait before she goes,  but she doesn't come back.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Damnit. Oi, Reimu, I don't suppose you can get yourself on this side of the ice wall?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Damnit. Oi, Reimu, I don't suppose you can get yourself on this side of the ice wall?"

Aya:

> You hear something tap the wall.
> "Yeah hang on..."
> The sound starts repeating. A lot.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> While Reimu's doing...whatever it is she's doing: "Nitori, do you happen to have any spare communication devices? Might be a good idea to give Reimu one and teach her at least how to contact Princess Himekaidou."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> While Reimu's doing...whatever it is she's doing: "Nitori, do you happen to have any spare communication devices? Might be a good idea to give Reimu one and teach her at least how to contact Princess Himekaidou."

Aya:

> "Just one. There's my own and Hatate's here. I can't make any more yet,  and yours is still elsewhere." Nitori responds.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Oh, right, them. You can probably turn communications with them back on. We can hang onto the spare until we decide someone really needs it."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Oh, right, them. You can probably turn communications with them back on. We can hang onto the spare until we decide someone really needs it."

Aya:

> "They've probably forgotten about it by now."
> You can see a hole in part of the wall.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Might be worth checking, just in case."
> Watch the hole.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Might be worth checking, just in case."
> Watch the hole.

Aya:

> You watch the hole get bigger...
> A few needles dart through it, and Reimu squeezes through after.
> "That umbrella is a monster..." She speaks under her breath, before turning to you- and quickly turning away.
> "So, what did you need..." She questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Oh, uh, sorry. Eh, you can look, it's fine if it's you."
> "Anyway, some of us have started discussing organizing a Gensokyo-wide council of sorts, to determine what we want to do about what's happened to our homeland. I figured you'd at least want to know about that, especially since I'm pretty sure everyone that would theoretically be involved would want you involved as well."

Aya:

> "Mm... I've been wondering if anything should be fixed or not. It is an incident, but youkai and humans aren't in a terrible spot yet. The Villahe seems to be adjusting well, even. Though I haven't heard about other creatures, like ghosts, gods, and the fairies. The light trio seemed fine, though. And now Cirno seems better then ever."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Nod.
> "That's one of the things to consider, yes. How to fix it would come second to whether or not we want to fix it. We have noticed issues with most people's flight capabilities, though, and the gods in general seem very out of sorts."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Nod.
> "That's one of the things to consider, yes. How to fix it would come second to whether or not we want to fix it. We have noticed issues with most people's flight capabilities, though, and the gods in general seem very out of sorts."

Aya:

> "I guess it's one way to solve the incident. You have my attendance, then."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Nod.
> "Would you like to join my little adventuring party? I won't be offended if you say no, I know you have your own personal considerations and priorities to consider, but I figure there's no harm in asking."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Nod.
> "Would you like to join my little adventuring party? I won't be offended if you say no, I know you have your own personal considerations and priorities to consider, but I figure there's no harm in asking."

Aya:

> "What are you up to right now?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "I personally need to attend to a group of my sisters further down underground, and I owe Lady Hoshiguma at least a little bit of sociality. Beyond that, though, I believe we're beginning the process of organizing that council. So far, the karasu Daitengu, Lady Toyosatomimi, and the Komeiji matriarch seem to be on board."
> Grin a little bit and lightly pat our stomach.
> "As is Lady Yakumo, who can hear us right now and, I imagine, would be particularly delighted for your company."
