Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 2

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "That's why I'm suggesting you do it, though. I'm sure you'll fully aware of it, but you're suddenly in a really precarious long-term position here. This is an opportunity to do something about that, to swing the scales here back in your favor. Make yourself dependable and trustworthy. Show yourself to be worthy of the loyalty you previously expected, and you could very well begin getting it back. Because your future prospects don't look particularly rosy if current trends continue."

Aya:

> "Alright. But I need a bit to think this through." Megumu retrieves the container she possessed.

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Of course. Hierarchy aside, I don't do admin for a few reasons, and the difficulty with this sort of thing is definitely one of them. But as long as you keep the well-being of our people in mind, as I know you have been in all your actions today, I'm sure you'll pull through."
> Pull away from Iizunamaru and look back at the group.
> "Sorry about that, folks, just confirming a thing or two. As I said before, I don't want to risk our village's safety with frivolous activities. But, setting consideration of those frivolous activities aside, I do also think you don't have any major intruder concerns to worry about in the immediate future. Obviously don't get complacent, but at least relax a little and stress a bit less."
> Gesture to Iizunamaru.
> "Boss is better than me at analyzing and working through those sorts of considerations, though. Once she's had a chance to digest everything we've seen so far, I'm sure she'll be able to give you a more hopeful speech than me."

Aya:

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Give Iizunamaru a reassuring pat on the back.
> Then look back to the group while gesturing to the five tengu that just got pulled out of us.
> "On a different note, can I send all of them back to bed? Or do you still want them out here? I'd at least like to keep Hata and Momi on my person if possible..."

[Neovereign]

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Someone else did. She's not completely done for, but she has a good deal to think about right now."

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Are we familiar with the fox?
> "Yeah, I've heard that might be your thoughts on the matter. It's still important, though."

[Neovereign]

Seki
>Did everyone enter

Aya:

> "Yeah, I've heard that might be your thoughts on the matter. It's still important, though."

Seki:

> Yes.
> It doesn't seem so. Maybe you need to be closer, or something else

Aya:

> No. Maybe? There's a bit of familiar to her. Not personal, though.

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Has Iizunamaru begun talking yet, or is she still revving herself up?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Has Iizunamaru begun talking yet, or is she still revving herself up?

[Philosopher]

Seki

> "Lord Tenma wouldn't be happy if we step too far in control, I'm sure." Megumu speaks.

Seki:

> "Uh... we can join up with another group at the Netherworld." The plain girl speaks.
> "Prismriver sisters weren't at this lake either, so they might be there." The swordswoman considers. "Can this fly?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Zip over to their conversation and begin whispering as well.
> "Worry about Lord Tenma's thoughts after Lord Tenma has been rescued, Boss. Perceived higher status can always be relinquished later."
