Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 1

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> How is Cirno taking being held like this for so long?
> "Ah, checking out home would also be a good idea. Might be worth doing that first, if only because we're more likely to find a mountain than an individual person."
> Look to Megumu.
> "Assuming it's okay that we have someone with us that isn't a tengu, Boss."

Seki
>What could the weight mean

Aya:

> She doesn't seem much against it. You think she's enjoying the break from moving on her own?
> "We already were trying to limit it to just the swordswoman with us, given we don't know how the state of the mountain is right now." Megumu responds.
> "Thinking about it, she's probably the one out of all of us who's seem most of the world now. Given the whole calling her name thing..." Hatate considers.

Seki:

> You don't know.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "You have a swordswoman with you?"
> Look around for such a person.

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Try to tap into our inner Dullahan to find the direction of Wakasagihime

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "You have a swordswoman with you?"
> Look around for such a person.

Seki
>Try to tap into our inner Dullahan to find the direction of Wakasagihime

Aya:

> You look around, but only Momizi seems to fit the bill...
> "Yeah, she... Huh?" Megumu questions, looking around.
> "When did she run off?" Momizi questions. "Isn't she supposed to stick around in case we need the safety of Miko's place?"
> "I'm here, I'm here!" You see Youmu Konpaku, quickly running over from a direction you're sure she wasn't just at earlier. "Sorry, I followed Cir- huh? You're already here?"
> "Well, I did tell them to call me, but Aya ended up picking me up first." The ice fairy explains. "Guessing the werewolf and her friend didn't need you around?"
> Youmu shakes her head.
> "They probably have some plan."

Seki:

> You try... But no vision or idea of where Wakasagi could be comes up.
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"I'm going to see if I can get an aerial view."

>Send the original head up in the sky
->Does it have a limit like the copies?
-->What do we see?

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Oh hey, Konpaku. You look pretty unscathed. I've wanted to look for incident solvers to get their perspective. What's your take on what has happened, and how might we undo it?"

[Neovereign]

Seki
>"I'm going to see if I can get an aerial view."

>Send the original head up in the sky

Aya:

> "Oh hey, Konpaku. You look pretty unscathed. I've wanted to look for incident solvers to get their perspective. What's your take on what has happened, and how might we undo it?"

Seki:

> You send your head up outside the cave, though can't seem to fly very high... The cave exterior still goes higher than you seem to be able to. Trying to fly higher just has you float back down to a certain height.

Aya:

> "I was training with Miko in Senkai. I'm afraid I don't know much about what's going on." Youmu shakes her head.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Mmm. So that's what happened to that hermit...well, that's unfortunate that you're low on info, but it's good that you're okay."
> Look to Iizunamaru.
> "What if we disguised them? Or hid one of them?"

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Connect our neck and stretch it as high as possible
->How does it compare to our head flying

>"Does using your new power mess with your mind?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Mmm. So that's what happened to that hermit...well, that's unfortunate that you're low on info, but it's good that you're okay."
> Look to Iizunamaru.

Seki

>"Does using your new power mess with your mind?"

Aya:

> Megumu frowns. "That would still be us bringing outsiders."
> "What if we go to the Moriya Shrine first?" Momizi questions. "It can't be helped then, right?"

Seki:

> You reconnect your head and try to stretch your neck. Yet this gets you even lower than your head could fly...

> "No. I'm just really annoyed today."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "That works."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "That works."

Aya:

> "Let's be on our way then." Youmu says.
> "Two incident resolvers. Nothing should stand in our way at this point." Hatate tempts fate.
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki
>What do we mean that summoning a steed has weight?

>"Could you throw my spare heads in the air?  I can find water that way."
->Give Kagerou spare heads at her request

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Look around again.
> "Assuming we know where we're going, yeah."

[Neovereign]

Seki

->Give Kagerou spare heads at her request

Aya:

> Look around again.
> "Assuming we know where we're going, yeah."

Seki:

> Aside from feeling like it'll be something pretty significant, you don't know.

> "Alright. Which direction." Kagerou gets ready outside the cave alongside you.

Aya:

> You take a look around idly...
> I think I can see the mountain from here." Momizi speaks.
> "Well, lead the way as usual, then." Hatate moves for something, but pauses, glancing between you and the rest of the group.
> "Oh right. I don't want to put a lot of work on you, but can you figure out what Sanae is up to?" Momizi asks Hatate, starting in a direction that the rest follows.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Can we see the mountain ourselves?
> Follow as well, keeping pace with the others.
> "Oh, yeah, that's a good idea. You're really saving the day today with that talent of yours, Hata."
> "By the way, do we want me to pull everyone with me at my top speed to get there faster?"

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"Let's start that way then move clockwise."
->Point opposite of the cave entrance

>Give Kagerou heads as she needs them
->Dismiss the heads before they hit the ground

Aya:

> Not quite.
> "Not if you have to eat us for it." Megumu speaks. "What was all of that I heard from the fairies about eating people? And what were you doing for Yukari?"

Seki:

> You provide Kagerou with a head, and she chucks it into the air.
> There are trees not too far from here and further down. As well as... the... The Hakurei Shrine?!
> You feel like you've hit the jackpot. Then again, it's not much if Reimu isn't there. And that doesn't mean you've found Wakasagihime either...
> "Excuse me." You hear a voice call out from back in the cave.
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki:
>"I found the shrine.  Her intuition -"

>Glance from Kagerou to the cave
->"Yes?"

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Oh, that? The head suggested I try it to make sure it works right. Best as I can tell, it does, though a fairy freaked out and Yukari had to take her somewhere to fix her. Speaking of Yukari, she just had me washing dishes, no biggie. And the ankle-grab offer is still on the table for you, Boss."
> Give Iizunamaru a brief slight grin with that last sentence.

> Give Iizunamaru a brief slight grin with that last sentence.

Seki:

> "What happened here?" A voice questions, as... Marisa emerges from the cave.
> Given the ice fairy's different appearance, you wonder if the magician has also learned a new trick to go with hers.
> A couple of other ladies you haven't seen before approach from behind her.

Aya:

> "What happened to getting Yukari's help? You ended up helping her instead?" Momizi questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Didn't I tell you already? She was uninterested in the whole ordeal. In fact, she shot me down before I could even ask the question."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>So that wasn't a dream

>How does Marisa look different
>Do we look different?

>Look in the direction of the unknown ladies
->"Sunny Milk, Star Sapphire, I presume."

>Shrug
->"If you mean Gensokyo, I think everyone's power increased and things became more mundane."

Aya:

> "But you still got wrapped up in her business... Shouldn't you have been able to escape away?"
> "You barely got back in time before that moon thing happened, in fact." Momizi mentions.

Seki:

> A bit... younger, maybe? No, it's gotta be her outfit, if only slightly.
> You do not.
> "Who?" One of the women questions.
> "She means my bed!" The other points at the...
> The partially frozen and thawing bed...
> "Right... I didn't mean to end up bothering anything in here. We were only supposed to stay for a bit. Sorry miss...?" Kagerou explains.
> "You didn't think someone stayed here!? Just that the bed was free use for how tidy it was kept?"
> "Sara." Marisa answers. "She's Sara. This is Mai." She points to the other lady. "And I'm Yuki." She points to herself.
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"We were attacked by an angry ice fairy.  Apologies for stealing your bed and the fairy."

>"Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."

>What do we know of dullahan?
->Do we have a house?

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "There was no reason to 'escape', she wasn't hostile or anything. We simply ended up cutting a deal. The timing ended up being bad, yeah, but I didn't realize it would be over so quickly."

Seki:

> "Just an apology? That doesn't make up for-"
> "We're not here to start a fight or anything. Let's just try to keep your bed usable." Yuki puts her hand on Sara's shoulder. "We can dry it off as it thaws and make it comfortable for you."
> "Hmph..." Sara still seems upset.

> You don't know much.
> You had a place to stay, yes.

Aya:

> "What did you get out of the deal?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "I'm pretty sure you already know the answer to that question, given what you've been asking me about."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"I'm sorry.  Any other time, I'd offer to help, but we need to find our friend and make sure she is alright."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "I'm pretty sure you already know the answer to that question, given what you've been asking me about."

Seki
>"I'm sorry.  Any other time, I'd offer to help, but we need to find our friend and make sure she is alright."

Aya:

> "A deal with her and that's the sort of thing you choose..." Megumu facepalms.
> "Can't go back in time. So let's just make the most of it..." Momizi says.
> "I'm just wondering how things would've gone if I had gone with. Or if Hatate went for Yukari and Aya, Miko."

Seki:

> "Whatever. Just get away of here before you do more damage." Sara points out of the cave.
> "We can try to help..." You hear another, unfamiliar voice deeper in. This cave definitely goes further than you would've thought.
> "So you said you found the shrine?" Kagerou questions. "Guessing it was in this direction." She starts for where she threw your head.
