Seija Quest 2

[Kilgamayan]

> Does she appear to be blushing at all herself?
> Given we were carrying Youmu with one arm, how easily do we think we could carry Reimu with one arm?
> Hold her a little closer so her face is closer to ours.
> "Fortune favors the bold, after all~"

[Tom]

> Does she appear to be blushing at all herself?

> A little bit but she's pretty good at hiding it

> Given we were carrying Youmu with one arm, how easily do we think we could carry Reimu with one arm?

> Very easily

> Hold her a little closer so her face is closer to ours.
> "Fortune favors the bold, after all~"

> "Indeed it does~" she laughs
> She finishes working on the ribbon and chuckes "It's cute!  One might think you're an apprentice here~  How do you feel?"

[Kilgamayan]

> What did she do with the ribbon? Did she put it on us somewhere?

[Tom]

> What did she do with the ribbon? Did she put it on us somewhere?

> She tied a matching bow ribbon for you like the one she wears over her head!

[Kilgamayan]

> Wiggle out head a bit, to get used to the feel of the ribbon.

[Tom]

> Wiggle out head a bit, to get used to the feel of the ribbon.

> You wiggle your head a bit and feel the shrine maiden's ribbon over your head
> Reimu watches and comments "It matches your dress you know~!"

[Kilgamayan]

> Look down at our dress.
> "Excellent, excellent."
> Look back up at Reimu with a grin.
> "Though I admit I think red looks cuter on you~"

[Tom]

> Look down at our dress.
> "Excellent, excellent."
> Look back up at Reimu with a grin.
> "Though I admit I think red looks cuter on you~"

> "They don't call me the red white shrine maiden for nothing~!" she laughs

[Kilgamayan]

> "You've definitely got that on me as well~ Thank you for the present!"
> Wiggle our head a little bit more to flap the ribbon some. (Don't bonk Reimu in the face, of course!)
> Then look back down at the doll pile.
> "You do make about the gunpowder, though...unless the culprit only decided last-minute to try this, they'd need to be someone who couldn't make it if they resorted to stealing it from a doll. And this is still only one...there's another one out there."

[Tom]

> "You've definitely got that on me as well~ Thank you for the present!"

> "I don't think any shrine maiden in Gensokyo has ever sealed a Youkai so easily~!" she chuckles

> Wiggle our head a little bit more to flap the ribbon some. (Don't bonk Reimu in the face, of course!)

> You wiggle your head once more and feel the ribbon like before with a slight tingling sensation or numbness around that area

> Then look back down at the doll pile.
> "You do make about the gunpowder, though...unless the culprit only decided last-minute to try this, they'd need to be someone who couldn't make it if they resorted to stealing it from a doll. And this is still only one...there's another one out there."

> "So would that discount Marisa since she knows how to make fireworks?" the shrine maiden asks

[Kilgamayan]

> How does our magic feel at the moment?
> "It would, if she had time to plan and make some in preparation. I guess that would be enough to shift the suspicion crosshairs to her friend."

[Tom]

> How does our magic feel at the moment?

> You certainly feel like you could fly or shoot danmaku

> "It would, if she had time to plan and make some in preparation. I guess that would be enough to shift the suspicion crosshairs to her friend."

> "Or Shinmyoumaru" she reminds you

[Kilgamayan]

> How did Shinny's mallet feel when we first ran into her this afternoon/evening?
> "I haven't forgotten the princess, don't worry. But I do doubt her ability to move all that stuff around at her normal size."

[Tom]

> How did Shinny's mallet feel when we first ran into her this afternoon/evening?

> The mallet seemed very weak, not letting Shinmyoumaru stay big for very long.

> "I haven't forgotten the princess, don't worry. But I do doubt her ability to move all that stuff around at her normal size."

> "Indeed but she's always trying to find ways to get bigger"

[Kilgamayan]

> How long does the mallet normally let Shinny stay big for?

[Tom]

> How long does the mallet normally let Shinny stay big for?

> During the revolution she could get about a day's worth of bigness out of it for every week it recharged, so you told her to only use it when appearing in public.  However she was terrible at following this rule and frequently used it at home for convenience, much to your annoyance since you promised to help with anything she asked for.

[Kilgamayan]

> ...Does Shinny know about gunpowder and kerosene?

[Tom]

> ...Does Shinny know about gunpowder and kerosene?

> There's certainly a couple books in the Shining Needle Castle's library on gunpowder's chemistry, manufacturing and use in traditional cannons and other primitive firearms.  You've no idea what she spent her time reading though since you were down below busy with the incident.
> As for kerosene you guess she knows as much as Reimu does since they live together.  There's no books that you know of in the library that reference it.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Yeah, but if I'm not around, that would require..."
> Frown.
> "Did the Princess wander around big today at all? Before I arrived, I mean."

[Tom]

> "Yeah, but if I'm not around, that would require..."
> Frown.
> "Did the Princess wander around big today at all? Before I arrived, I mean."

> Reimu shifts around a bit in your arms while she thinks
> "Umm... well she became big at breakfast and lunch since I don't have plates, bowls or chairs for doll-size people"

[Kilgamayan]

> In what manner is she shifting?
> "And did she go back to being small where you could see her?"

[Tom]

> In what manner is she shifting?

> Trying to get more comfortable in your arms which are tiring out albeit slower than when you were holding Youmu.

> "And did she go back to being small where you could see her?"

> "At lunch yes but after breakfast she stayed big for a while since we had a human from the village in need of lifting a curse visit"

[Kilgamayan]

> "...So she could have done it after all. I assume you had your hands full with the curse-lifting and lost track of her? She could have set things up then. That would certainly explain why the mallet was near-empty when I showed up..."

[Tom]

> "...So she could have done it after all. I assume you had your hands full with the curse-lifting and lost track of her? She could have set things up then. That would certainly explain why the mallet was near-empty when I showed up..."

> "She was helping me with the ritual the entire time though, constantly fetching water from the pond in the back" she explains

> You feel a little more fatigue in your hands

[Kilgamayan]

> "With the bowl that had the handle go missing, maybe? ...Though I guess that wouldn't leave her a lot of time to scamper off and do other things..."
> Flip our arms from tired to not-tired, like we did before when holding Youmu.

[Tom]

> "With the bowl that had the handle go missing, maybe? ...Though I guess that wouldn't leave her a lot of time to scamper off and do other things..."

> "I believe so but the handle was still there and she put it back right before becoming small again"

> Flip our arms from tired to not-tired, like we did before when holding Youmu.

> Nothing happens

[Kilgamayan]

> "So she wouldn't have had extended time being big and out of your sight? That makes it a lot less likely that she's responsible, then."
> "Urk...would you mind undoing the seal for a moment? I need to flip something."

[Tom]

> "So she wouldn't have had extended time being big and out of your sight? That makes it a lot less likely that she's responsible, then."

> "Indeed, she was only out of my sight when she was filling the bowl up"

> "Urk...would you mind undoing the seal for a moment? I need to flip something."

> She chuckles "Oh my~!  And what if I don't?"

[Kilgamayan]

> "Things will end poorly for both of us...and I'd rather avoid that..."

[Tom]

> "Things will end poorly for both of us...and I'd rather avoid that..."

> She smiles "Maybe if you ask nicely...  It's not very polite to refuse gifts you know~"
