Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 3

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Resume rubbing Utsuho's backside.
> "They had business back on the mountain, it seems. But they seem pretty open to looking forward rather than back, from what I could tell."

Aya:

> You resume where you are, though are getting more reaction from it.
> "Yes. Like myself, Lord Tenma also cares about the state of Gensokyo, and I'm sure not all the other higher ups are still thinking about how to keep our previous operations going and maintaining our territory." Megumu states. "And example of such is a task from Lord Tenma. As she claims changes are coming, we of the Karasu Tengu have been tasked with documenting the changes around Gensokyo from this incident. I believe it's to also assist in an idea brought up by miss Shameimaru, and supported by miss Himekaidou."

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Long story short, we're going to try to get Gensokyo to work together to figure out how we want to shape our future. Everyone's been affected by what happened, so everyone deserves consideration. And yes, whoever represents our race will be taking our community's best interests to the table, rather than just trying to benefit a select few to the possible detriment of everyone else."

Aya:

> "But first, were we going to discuss the state of our society now that everyone's here, or should we move onto the aforementioned idea about all of Gensokyo?" Megumu questions.

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> While waiting for a response from some of the mob, check in on how Utsuho seems to be feeling, given the new type of attention being paid to her.

Aya:

> She's shifting more, but trying not to.  Her face is still fine though. No blush yet, for example.
> "The new things sound better..."
> "Yeah, we can talk about our society when that starts."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Can we still feel movement from the tengu within us?
> How much attention is our chest getting from the mob?
> "Well, to be clear, we still need to contact everyone that we think should be a part of this Gensokyo-wide council. So we all have time to think about what we want."
> If our chest is getting an inordinate amount of attention from the mob, give the closest tengu a wind order to reach into our cleavage.

Aya:

> Yes.
> Not too much. They seem focused on Megumu now, especially with mention of Tenma.
> "That is our job, though. We'll, that's Hatate's, rather." Megumu points out. "Lord Tenma won't like it if she's the only one actually keeping busy."

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Look over to Hatate.
> "Congratulations on the promotion, Your Highness. I guess that makes you Queen Bird now?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Look over to Hatate.

Aya:

> "Shouldn't you be finding Cirno." Hatate crosses her arms.

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Frown a bit.
> "Hey, let's keep things above the belt here. Besides, I need to have a quick chat with the Komeiji matriarch on my way out. Come to think of it, if you're asking that, does that mean you're staying here, rather than coming with?"

Aya:

> "You heard Tenma.  She wants me to work on the council idea..."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Alright. But you and I need to have a quick private chat before I leave."
> Squeeze Utsuho again.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Alright. But you and I need to have a quick private chat before I leave."
> Squeeze Utsuho again.

Aya:

> "I might as well follow to the Komeijis with you."
> "The rides over already huh..." Okuu comments.

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Look up to Utsuho.
> "The nest is yours as long as you want it, Nuke Bird."
> Squeeze her again.

Aya:

> "The nest is yours as long as you want it, Nuke Bird."
> Squeeze her again.

Aya:

> "I gotta get back to Satori though.  That threat is gone and she'll want to know I'm fine."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Well, we'll see. I've enjoyed your company so far. Maybe she'll let you go on a bit of an adventure with me."
> Look to Iizunamaru and give her a short wave.
> "Keep it real, Boss. I'll check in when I can."
> Send a wind whisper directly into Iizunamaru's ears: "I know and trust you'll do what's best for everyone. Thanks for keeping me company."

Aya:

> "Looks like I'll be able to appeal to them more since only the Karasu were given an order to follow." Megumu sways over to whisper to you. "I'll try to allow the others to act out what these tengu prefer over those that had authority would've." She assures. "See you later."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Give Iizunamaru a small grin and a thumbs-up.
> Look over to Hatate and beckon her to follow us.
> Take flight and casually head in the direction we last remember Satori being, making sure Hatate follows us.
> Along the way, slow down just a tad, and look Hatate directly in the eyes.
> "Okay, Hata, I know I was fooling around earlier, but there's been enough oddities since then that now I'm genuinely unsure. I need you to serious and honest with me here. Are you tengu royalty?"
> Put some of our will behind the last statement and question, in order to influence Hatate to obey us. Add in an extra wind order to Hatate telling her to answer us honestly, just for good measure.

Aya:

> You take off, with Hatate following along.
> "Does it matter? Calling it Tengu Royalty feels weird too. At best, something like that is a position of power, maybe rivaling the boss. At worst? It's something you can use for politics and war. That's what it sounds like, at least." She dodges a proper answer even with the slight order.

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Squeeze Utsuho again.
> "It's killing me from a curiosity perspective, honestly. And you, of all people, surely understand that, because you wouldn't be doing what you do if you didn't have that same journalistic drive, secret royal lineage or no."
> Slow down to a stop, float over to Hatate, place our free arm around her shoulders, and hug her gently onto our side.
> Take on a softer tone.
> "But I can promise it doesn't matter to me from a social perspective, just in case that's what you're really worried about. You're still you, whether you're a worker drone like the rest of us, or you outrank even Lord Tenma, or anything in between. And I'm sure Momi feels the same way."

Aya:

> Nuke bird feels warmer. Almost hot now.
> You put an arm over Hatate, bringing her in to a hug.
> "Princess or not, I came to like both you and Aya for unrelated reasons. So Tenma was wrong with that." Momizi speaks up from within.
> "Mm... then feel free to call me one or not if you feel like it. It doesn't mean too much since we have Lord Tenma, unless I want it to. If you want it to be yes, then I am. If you want it to be no, then I'm another crow tengu. Until I'm not, I guess. But that shouldn't happen since we have Lord Tenma."

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "You got it, Princess Bird."
> Give Hatate a quick peck on the cheek, then let her go.
> Squeeze Utsuho again.
> Have another look at Utsuho's face to see how she's holding up.

> Utsuho has a bit of a blush now.

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "You doing okay, Nuke Bird? You're getting a little warm."
> Squeeze Utsuho again.
> Then slide our Utsuho hand down and forward along her body until we get to the same place we got to with Hatate.

Aya:

> You squeeze again, before grazing a bit further.
> "I'm alri-" Utsuho jolts a bit.
> Whew. It's like you just lit a fire right in front of you. Nowhere specific is hotter than the rest, it's just that Okuu herself almost feels like that fire.

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Do we feel like we're at risk for burns if we keep our hand/arm where it is?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Do we feel like we're at risk for burns if we keep our hand/arm where it is?

Aya:

> No. But this would probably be great in winter.

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Resume flying at a casual pace.
> "You sure? You're really warm now. I hope I don't get burned."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

Aya:

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Gently stroke a finger.
