Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 5

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> We can keep track of her via the wind. Keep working on getting ourselves free.

Eternity:

> "She's been gone for a while, I think."

Ami:

> "Where did the did the ones that vanished go, though? We should make sure they're okay..."

Aya:

Eternity:

> "She's been gone for a while, I think."

Ami:

> "Where did the did the ones that vanished go, though? We should make sure they're okay..."

Aya:

> You continue your struggle. At least the tree itself is here to help, being something stable to climb... "up" from, rather than down from.
> Thankfully, you make it off after a while of this method. Though you'd like to have a chimney or such to try that on instead. At least something to warm up from this...

Eternity:

> "Hm? Where'd she run off to, then?" Hecatia pauses.

Ami:

> "Is this that thing where because you saw something happen, you have to do something about it? Nn..." Suzaku seems troubled.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Zoom off in pursuit of our Wolfe.

Eternity:

> Shrug.

Ami:

> "..."
> Look to the remaining fairies and human.
> "You should all head home. We'll leave you be, but it may not be safe here."
> Take Suzaku's hand in ours, just in case.

Ami:

> "You should all head home. We'll leave you be, but it may not be safe here."
> Take Suzaku's hand in ours, just in case.

Aya:

> You catch back up with Momizi in no time at all.
> "Huh. I don't see Hatate. This is a different group, then?" Momizi questions.
> You don't see what she's talking about, but it does feel like there's a big group far ahead of here.

Eternity:

> "Well wherever she is, she won't min- AAH!" You hear Piece yelp.
> "I come back here after a brief respite, and I already have to deal with fairies? I'm not in the mood for this..." You hear Reimu's voice. Perhaps they're both inside now?
> "At least you got to be somewhere safe..." You hear... you believe that's Marisa?

Ami:

> "Eh? You aren't going to attack us?" The fairy asks.
> "Maybe it's a good Tengu?" The human questions.
> "Must be. Okay, thanks good Tengu." The other fairy says. "Okay, where do you live?"
> "Uh... Around... Well, I usually stay around home, but this isn't home."
> Part of the mountain seems to look a bit different around here. Though before you can investigate more, Suzaku starts to lead you back the way you were headed.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Oh, yeah, there are at least one or two squads roaming around right now. See anyone you recognize?"

Eternity:

> "Glad that wasn't me. Hi Miss Reimu!"

Ami:

> "Stay safe, you three!"
> Let ourselves be led.
> In a low tone: "What the hell was that. Why are human children vanishing into thin air? What did you feel back there?"

---

Miko:

> What are we up to?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

Eternity:

Miko:

> What are we up to?

Aya:

> "Somewhat. Gensokyo's not that big a place. Though, no one I'm close to or anything." Momizi answers.

Eternity:

> "Great, another." Reimu sighs. "Well, at least that means-"
> Reimu pauses as you come into view in front of her shrine.
> "...Were you here earlier while I was gone, too?" Reimu questions, looking you up and down.

Ami:

> "That other world. But different." Suzaku answers. "It's actually kinda some refreshing air. But getting trapped there again after we just left... How would we explain that to Aya?"

Miko:

> You're searching for Rumia. You're already in the forest... But... Perhaps it would've been a good idea to leave this to someone who could track her better. Then again, with your abilities, this shouldn't be too hard. You can already hear some things in the distance.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Anyone you can describe? I might be able to tell which group it is."

Eternity:

> Are we still wearing Reimu's clothes?
> Now that we finally have Reimu in front of us, how does our new body compare to hers height-wise and figure-wise?
> Nod.
> "I heard a voice in my head telling me I needed to be a hero. So I came here looking for you because you're the expert, but you weren't here."

Ami:

> "So...those might have been...outside world children?"

---

Miko:

> Do we currently possess anything we don't usually?
> Skills

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Anyone you can describe? I might be able to tell which group it is."

Eternity:

Ami:

> "So...those might have been...outside world children?"

---

Miko:

> Do we currently possess anything we don't usually?
> Skills

Aya:

> "Seems they're heading the same way. We'll meet up soon enough."

Eternity:

> Yes.
> You think you're at similar levels... Her figure looks great though...Maybe she just wears her entire look too much better...
> Reimu sighs.
> "Can't I return to my shrine for once without it being raided?"
> "Nope. Too many people like it." The other woman is also here, alongside Marisa and of course, Clownpiece.
> "Hm? You aren't going to chase after that girl with the orbs that was possessed or whatever?" Hecatia questions.
> "No. I'm interested, but I won't cause trouble yet."
> "Yet?" Reimu asks.
> "Well, relative to who you ask. That girl will probably think I'm trouble if I do seek her out."
> "Hey, why are you hanging around here anyways? Who are you?" Marisa asks.
> "I'm just somebody that you used to know."

Ami:

> "Yeah, it's likely. I'd guess so." Suzaku responds.

Miko:

> No.
> Your skills are exceptional compared to a human's, aside from perhaps, strength. This is especially so for your hearing, to the point of some superhuman capabilities. Though, your ears are also sensitive because of this.
> You are also capable of using Magic, mainly Taoist magic.
> Furthermore, you are capable of gathering and utilizing Faith, something the Gods are usually capable of. Though while not as potent or varied as gods can make use of, thanks to your abilities, you can also gather peoples' desires in a similar way.

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "That works. Anyway, pardon me, I did something stupid and need to warm up a bit."
> Lightly press our chest (angled down a bit) into Momi's back. (Do not attempt to engulf her in it.)

Eternity:

> "Ooh, Miss Reimu, you should wear my dress!"

Ami:

> "...We should probably tell someone about that. Miss Aya, or Lady Iizunamaru."

---

Miko:

> Continue onward, then.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "That works. Anyway, pardon me, I did something stupid and need to warm up a bit."
> Lightly press our chest (angled down a bit) into Momi's back. (Do not attempt to engulf her in it.)

Eternity:

> "Ooh, Miss Reimu, you should wear my dress!"

Ami:

> "...We should probably tell someone about that. Miss Aya, or Lady Iizunamaru."

---

Miko:

> Continue onward, then.

Aya:

> You press your chest against Momi.
> "Then we're even." Momizi speaks.

Eternity:

> "No thank you." She answers plainly.

Ami:

> "Well, I think there's finally a way to get to where the rest of the Tengu are." Suzaku points ahead.
> All the rest of the way down the mountain... Maybe you could hurry this up. And a way to get to them? Are they inside the mountain?

Miko:

> You continue.
> The commotion appears to be from Eientei. If Sekibanki knew of it, she would've said that it was there, maybe. Then again, perhaps Rumia only just entered it from the rest of the forest.
> Actually, now that you're close, there appears to be a battle going on.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "For the warming up, or the sensation you're feeling now~?"

Eternity:

> Look very sad.
> "Awww..."

Ami:

> "...Huh. Are they inside the mountain?"
> Let go of Suzaku's hand.
> Then drift a little behind her, in the same ankle-grabbing position as before.

---

Miko:

> Do we trust in our ability to take a peek without drawing attention to ourselves? If so, then do so.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "For the warming up, or the sensation you're feeling now~?"

Eternity:

> Look very sad.
> "Awww..."

Ami:

Miko:

> Do we trust in our ability to take a peek without drawing attention to ourselves? If so, then do so.

Aya:

> "About doing something stupid. Don't worry about it."

Eternity:

> "What about mine?" Clownpiece offers.
> "Now now Piece, should you really go around offering a gift your Master gave to you specifically?" Hecatia questions.
> "A-Ah. Sorry."

Ami:

> You let go of Suzaku and start to trail behind her.
> "I don't think so. There's a passage far down."

Miko:

> The bamboo should obscure you enough from the fighters. Anyone else though, you'd be seen.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Oh, I can't not worry about it. I need to dote on you!"

Eternity:

> "...Well, anyway, we're here...what now?"

Ami:

> "Oh, that makes sense. We were down there before."
> "Um, pardon me again. Remember, this is just me."
> Take hold of one of Suzaku's ankles and bring our head up close to it.
> Then, if she hasn't kicked us off yet, pull her foot into our mouth and swallow.

---

Miko:

> Take a peek from the bamboo.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Oh, I can't not worry about it. I need to dote on you!"

Eternity:

> "...Well, anyway, we're here...what now?"

Ami:

> "Oh, that makes sense. We were down there before."

> Then, if she hasn't kicked us off yet, pull her foot into our mouth and swallow.

---

Miko:

> Take a peek from the bamboo.

Aya:

> "Then forget I said anything." Momizi explains.

Eternity:

> "I suppose I'll take care of this." Hecatia enters the shrine. "If this lady hadn't told you already, there's some explanation to why the moon is how it is now."
> "Oh? The glowing it did a while back?" Reimu questions.
> "Yes. Fantasy and Reality melding together more." The mystery woman speaks.
> "So a Yukari problem... Yet she hasn't been able to fix it?" Marisa wonders.
> "Well, things are more realistic for some. Her boundary powers may not just be a fix all bandage anymore."

Ami:

> Suzaku glances behind, and slows down this time, giving you the chance to try, now with less kicking.
> Nothing interrupts your attempt aside from the flight, but...
> This definitely isn't working. It'd probably be better just standing, but even so, this feels impossible to achieve, even after seeing Aya do such things...

Miko:

> You try to conceal yourself a bit more and watch...
> The fight seems to be between the Darkness Youkai and... Someone wielding a sword and using the powers of a god.
> "Yori, this is getting embarrassing..." Rumia speaks, arms outstretched in the air as she twirls around slightly. "Don't tell me you're going to blame your performance on the incident?"
> "Shut it! You're not winning this either. All you do is run!"
> "Lady Yorihime, shouldn't-"
> "Not now!" The woman barks at the rabbit girl down below.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya;

> "Hm hm hm...is there anything you'd like me to do for you while we travel?"

Eternity:

> "Does that mean I'm gonna turn into a human?"

Ami:

> C'mon...pull harder...to get it in there! Miss Aya did it, so we can do it!

---

Miko:

> Oh, that's fortuitous.
> Do we recognize the others?

[Neovereign]

Aya;

> "Hm hm hm...is there anything you'd like me to do for you while we travel?"

Eternity:

> "Does that mean I'm gonna turn into a human?"

Ami:

> C'mon...pull harder...to get it in there! Miss Aya did it, so we can do it!

---

Miko:

> Oh, that's fortuitous.
> Do we recognize the others?

Aya:

> "Tell me your plans going forward, for dealing with this incident? Or these, if there's still something else going on past this..."

Eternity:

> "I think the fairies have been fine. Aside from Cirno. The ones I've seen around, at least." Marisa answers.

Ami:

> Just as you believe, it really seems impossible... Not even the kind of thing a miracle would help you achieve, just something beyond your limits.

Miko:

> You see Eirin among the onlookers. Neither of the two more well known rabbits are around, though.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Ah...I was thinking more personal than that. But if that's what you want, that's what you'll get."
> "That being said, I think things have relatively stabilized right now. Both the freezing and the dimensional separation problems appears to be fixed..."

Eternity:

> "Oh. Phew! ...U-uh, no offense."

Ami:

> Look pleadingly at Suzaku, in the hopes that she'll help.

---

Miko:

> Back off a bit. It wouldn't do to interrupt this.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Ah...I was thinking more personal than that. But if that's what you want, that's what you'll get."
> "That being said, I think things have relatively stabilized right now. Both the freezing and the dimensional separation problems appears to be fixed..."

Eternity:

Ami:

> Look pleadingly at Suzaku, in the hopes that she'll help.

---

Miko:

> Back off a bit. It wouldn't do to interrupt this.

Aya:

> "Yeah, you explained. But what about the moon one? Or, Gensokyo one. Whichever. "

Eternity:

> "Nah, I can understand wanting to be a fairy instead. You get to fly and not worry about dying and all that." Marisa waves it off.

Ami:

> "Guess we just can't do stuff like she can, huh?" Suzaku replies to your gaze, pulling her leg back, and resuming her flight. "Maybe we'll stumble on some things we can do ourselves that she can't."

Miko:

> You retreat a bit, still hearing the taunting going on.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> How much do wev know about that specific issue at this point?

Eternity:

> "Yeah, you get it."

Ami:

> "At least, not on my own. I was still hoping you'd try forcing your way in, though."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> How much do wev know about that specific issue at this point?

Eternity:

> "Yeah, you get it."

Ami:

> "At least, not on my own. I was still hoping you'd try forcing your way in, though."

Aya:

> Not a lot... Pretty much as much as everyone else. Well, not including the clueless people.

Eternity:

> "You can fly too, and have strong magic!" Piece argues.
> "Well, flight's not too possible right now... Remember, this whole incident making that tough."
> "Oh, right..."

Ami:

> "That... seems like a poor idea."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "That one I need more information on, unfortunately."

Eternity:

> "I wonder if that'll get fixed..."

Ami:

> "I'm not worried. I trust you enough to ask you to try it. Worst comes to worst, I can just give you a signal to stop, like tapping you a whole bunch."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "That one I need more information on, unfortunately."

Eternity:

> "I wonder if that'll get fixed..."

Ami:

> "I'm not worried. I trust you enough to ask you to try it. Worst comes to worst, I can just give you a signal to stop, like tapping you a whole bunch."

Aya:

> "Say it ain't so, Aya!" You hear Cirno, not far ahead. "You don't have much information on something?"
> Now that she's coming into view, alongside the rest of a pretty big group, she looks all better. Bit smaller than before, maybe, but bigger than before the moon flash happened.
> "Well, at least Aya's here. Though, was she one of the "leaders" chosen or whatever?" Koa questions.

Eternity:

> "Ah, right. Supposedly that's something a few of us all around Gensokyo are going to decide on. I guess I should head to... I think it was Misty Lake?" Reimu considers. "Ugh, but finally being back home after being stuck in Senkai like that. No rest for the weary..." She sighs.
> "Time to get down to business?" Marisa asks. "Long as you don't start floating away or anything."
> "I'll be fine."

Ami:

> "Are you sure?" Suzaku stops in place.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Hey, sport! You're looking a lot more you."

Eternity:

> Look to Piece and her master.
> "Should we do that too?"

Ami:

> Stop as well.
> "I am."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Hey, sport! You're looking a lot more you."

Eternity:

> Look to Piece and her master.
> "Should we do that too?"

Ami:

> Stop as well.
> "I am."

Aya:

> "I'm all good. And you? My uh, incident didn't freeze you or anything, did it? I mean, you're roaming around fine..."

Eternity:

> "You want to be heroes, right?" Hecatia questions.
> "Of course." Piece says, as Reimu starts to fly off.
> "H-Hey, I can't fly." Marisa calls towards Reimu.
> "You don't seriously-"
> "Come on, I'm not that heavy."
> Reimu sighs, lowering herself down...
> As Marisa hops onto her back, before they take to the skies again.
> "Huh... How come she can fly? Shouldn't she need wings?" Clownpiece questions.
> "Interesting. Even though Yukari is weaker, Reimu can still float fine enough to carry someone else." The mystery woman watches on, before also floating after them.
> "Eh? What the heck." Piece jumps.

Ami:

> "O...Okay..." Suzaku lifts her leg a bit.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Oh, no, you got me good. Me and most everyone else I came across. Needed Larva to keep me thawed."

Eternity:

> "We can do that too!"
> Jump onto Piece's back, hugging her from behind.
> Then float up and after Reimu, carrying Piece with us.

Ami:

> Try swallowing Suzaku's foot once again, with the expectation this time that she'll help.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Oh, no, you got me good. Me and most everyone else I came across. Needed Larva to keep me thawed."

Eternity:

> "We can do that too!"
> Jump onto Piece's back, hugging her from behind.
> Then float up and after Reimu, carrying Piece with us.

Ami:

> Try swallowing Suzaku's foot once again, with the expectation this time that she'll help.

Aya:

> "Ah... S-Sorry." Cirno apologizes.
> "What's this about leaders, again?" Momizi questions.

Eternity:

> You hang onto Piece, and...
> ...
> Okay, while you can follow along, you'll definitely fall behind like this. You're much slower than both of them trying to carry her...

Ami:

> You grab hold of Suzaku's ankle, and-
> A brief taste of pain, sprinkled with some regret...
> ...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Look to Momi.
> "We're organizing a bunch of folks from all over the land to determine how we collectively want to move forward with what appears to be our new reality."

Eternity:

> Make some cute struggling noises in the hopes Piece gets the message and helps out.

Ami:

> ...Nothing is ever gong to go right for us, huh.
> If we need to tap, do so.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Look to Momi.
> "We're organizing a bunch of folks from all over the land to determine how we collectively want to move forward with what appears to be our new reality."

Eternity:

> Make some cute struggling noises in the hopes Piece gets the message and helps out.

Ami:

> ...Nothing is ever gong to go right for us, huh.
> If we need to tap, do so.

Aya:

> "Oh. Hey, that sounds like a plan. I thought you said you didn't have one." Momi accuses.
> "You still look cold... Maybe we should've gone for that raven girl." Cirno considers.
> "Again, that sort of heat probably isn't what any of us needs." Alice speaks.

Eternity:

> "Ah, am I too fat? I hadn't had much to eat recently. I thought that'd help agai- Ah! We're forgetting Master!" Piece jumps in surprise.
> "I was wondering if you'd notice." Hecatia calls out, still at the shrine you're leaving behind.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Sorry. It felt more passive than active to me, I guess..."

Eternity:

> "Sorry!"
> Turn back around and fly over to Hecatia, positioning Piece behind her so she can grab her like we're grabbing Piece.

Suzaku:

> What just happened?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Sorry. It felt more passive than active to me, I guess..."

Eternity:

> "Sorry!"
> Turn back around and fly over to Hecatia, positioning Piece behind her so she can grab her like we're grabbing Piece.

Suzaku:

> What just happened?

Aya:

> "You're not too focused on it, then?" Momizi questions.

Eternity:

> You roundabout to pick up Hecatia.
> Piece grabs her as you do, though now you can't fly at all...
> "Perhaps it'd be better if the two of you carried me by my shoulders or arms?" Hecatia offers.
> "Y-You're not fat. I swear!" Piece states.
> "I wonder why you're mentioning that when I've already spoken an alternative...?"

Suzaku:

> You think you messed up... Again...
> Maybe you were expecting it to go as smoothly as Aya's had, but your attempt at helping Ami only ended up knocking her out, not unlike a drop kick...
> Thankfully, you caught her before she could hit the ground below, but she's still out cold.
> She's really not going to be happy with you when she wakes up. Nor herself for not being able to match what Aya could do...
