>> Who are we with right now?
>> Are we being targeted by any mysterious individuals?
> Did the fairy we are controlling hear that voice?> It doesn't seem so. She's still wondering why anyone would be targeting her, and is looking around for such suspects.

I didn't expect us to find someone who can notice me this soon though... Anyways, you still exist even when you don't have a body. Certain people back home could also notice your existence despite having almost no presence. There's yours truly, of course. Perhaps Evelyn, depending on what you do, and maybe Uni? Right. The primary objective is to cause a significant impact in this world. Do something big that won't be forgotten for a while, for example. The second is to capture and subdue the Target. This fairy isn't it, though. The third was to make an enemy of the strongest individuals. May sound a bit rough to ask, especially if you prefer not to be mean, but I'm curious of their limits and the lengths they'll go."

Of course, not a literal goddess - they're another thing - just what many come to call me through my displays."

> "Ah... Apologies. It seems I am having the tendency to forget quite the important stuff. ... Reina. Yes. I like having a name to call you now."

> Like, for example, not forget how she looks so we can at least have that in case details escape us. Again.
>(Reina) Knowing how she removed us is very useful.> "...Good."
>(Reina) We might be able cause trouble using her group. Which do you think would be easier with fairies? Anger at being controlled, portray the greater fairy as tyrannical? Use greed and envy of her power?
> (Reina) Knowing what is the source would be a good start to work on a solution. I gotta work on that..."We dont know of what these fairies can do. We should learn more before you start thinking of manipulating them. Also, the source may be you being a part of other people so often. Maybe you have to focus on your own existence more, however small you make it at times."
> "I am... Noel." Make a polite curtsey. "It's my pleasure, Daiyousei."
> (Reina) Hm. Creating my own body. Or, adding more to it to have a better sense of self.> "I can help."
> "I have been following guidance for myself. Practicing, you could say. I have yet to know more of this place properly, though. It is all... still fresh."
>(Reina) Agreed. Can you get a read on Daiyousei? Is she really that nice or was my removal and the production of this body to show us her power?//Will try.
>"We wouldn't want to take up more of your time, Miss Daiyousei."
@Neovereign Could you do something to make mental dialog between Reina and Noel easier to differentiate from spoken dialog.
//Agreed.> You start to leave the lake area, heading for anywhere else.
//If we use fairies we'll want to avoid them getting into fights and obvious mischief.

Philosopher's previous commands://I keep thinking "Okay, this time I posted everything", but yet again...
> Though don't go check around juuust yet. Might want to check some stuff with Kosuzu's memories first. We can plan what to do then.
> ("... No one that can really beat Reimu? ... That sounds way too dangerous.")
> Learn the locations of each of these notable places, and how they look like for easier access. Wouldn't hurt to have them just in case we wanted to explore some more.
> Check on her memories again, this time to see who is this Akyuu, and where the manor of said person is.
>> Search around the store for the book again.
>> What do we think of Akyuu?
>> Search around the store for the book again.>> She's a good friend. A bit too busy for you to meet with her much, though... Not like you aren't busy often yourself. You don't even get to go to her manor, as if you'd be allowed entry - so the useless directions to get there were never asked...
>> What do we think of Akyuu?
>> Dwell on Akyuu some more. What might she be doing right now?>> You dont know. Probably being tasked to put that memory of hers to the village's use...
>> What do we think of her figure?
> ("So what information do we have about the target, anyway?")
>> What do we think of Akyuu's body and appearance? Is she attractive?>> You think she's nice, and has started to look better recently. You hope its just a rumor.
> ("A certain event involving fairies, huh...guess I'll need to look into what that might have been.")
>> Imagine Akyuu kissing us.>> You imagine Akyuu...
> ("That's possible, if she's willing to talk about it...I wonder if there might be anyone else that might be knowledgeable about major events...")
(For other players' reference, I am doing this largely to keep 'Suzy mentally distracted while we decide what to do. It can be dropped at any time, particularly if we intend to pursue Reimu.)>> Well... Maybe a bit of fantasizing...
>> Imagine Akyuu and ourselves doing a little more than just kissing~
> ("Do you think she would notice me if I took control of her?" I could pursue her, I'm sure she hasn't gotten too far away...")
(Assuming nothing disastrous happens as a result of the following, my vote is to ditch 'Suzy and pursue (and try to control) Reimu. I won't enter the command unless others agree, though.)
>> Imagine Akyuu exposing a little bit of shoulder to us.
> ("Okay, I'll try to track her down, then.")
(I was pretty much waiting to get to do something relevant, and it sounds like we can pursue Reimu. By all means, let's go.)//Hey we still use these for ooc / between players
> Once we are finished with the joyride, leave Kosuzu's body (and attempt to not mess up and let her see us, in case our fairy body manifests in reality), and get to follow that Reimu.
> How did we ditch this body previously? Don't want to get seen by someone that fights a lot if we can avoid it...> It could just be existing less. Or maybe trying to only do such for the body?
> Follow the figure at a distance.> You follow from afar, trying to make less of this body.
> While doing so, try focusing on the body less.
>Stop possessing the fairy body.> You ditch the fairy body, but the surroundings only get darker...
//Hey a possible youkai, Rumia
>("Fascinating.")> "Thats not important. What is is that you... Um... The Hakurei... U-Uhh..." Rin looks flustered. "M... I-Im sorry guys, I forgot!!!"
>"How did you come to be here Miss Satsuki?"
>"I believe you have me at a disadvantage as it appears that my compatriot and I are known to you, yet we have no knowledge about yourselves."> "So we're going first... Well then. I'm Rumia. This is actually my world, not nothingness. Just... a lot of darkness. More than you can imagine." She gestures around herself.
//(Fan girl screaming) Adelind!!> "Noel? I thought you said it was Noe1. Like, no one." Rin questions Adelind.
//It's the whole gang!
>"As you know, I am Noel and my friend is Reina."
>"Sorry, I've a bit of amnesia. Noe1 sounds more like my name."> "Well, Noel is a good name, too." Rin says.
>Gaze sheepishly at the ground, "I'm still working on memorizing my name."
>"I wished to test Reimu's strength against my own."> "She told me not to bother most of what I knew was going to happen, or it might cause something bad. Hate that I have to waste potential like that, but it might be worse to change things from what I know." She puts a hand to her chin. "I'm pretty sure you also have someone else you're going after. A target, of sorts... Anyways, you wouldn't have been able to get to Reimu anyways. You need to... do whatever you do, to more people. Less people."
>"You said you weren't Reimu's guardian, but you have some vested interest in the girl's health. What is your relationship with her?"
>"I don't mind you're company. A fortune teller would be an invaluable alley. Though I must confess, I am confused why you would be worried about altering the future. Isn't that what fortune telling is for?"
>"Rin, what reduced your existence?"
//Woo-hoo! Lazy lizard companion get!
> Phil's.("The future isn't guaranteed. When one knows the future, it becomes easier to change it. Mirai told me before that a part of her ability is updating herself when something changes. Its in this way that she can avoid fights or danger - by seeing unfavorable situations of the future and working to avoid those.")
>"We could give it a try, if you want Adelind."> "First, let's get out of here. No reason to keep everything done in this place." Adelind speaks.
("Could you possibly repair her ability or copy it into me?")
> So it was a world made of darkness, huh.> You've already noticed her fierce golden eyes and long silver hair before. Other than that, she's wearing a very basic kimono.
> What does Adelind even look like?
> Do we know anything about an 'Aurora' slime?> You do not.
> ("Do you know anything about this particular slime?")("No, but Mirai has told me why they're important now... If you dont want to interrupt their peace, we can cease that part of this operation. If you still want to, there's no room for hesitation or second thoughts midway through.")
> "I'm not familiar with that name, I admit."
>"Slime? Is she a mold or a giant single cell creature?"> Adelind shrugs once again.
>"I'm just following orders. I haven't been around anyone long enough to grow a grudge."
//Ooh, another familiar face
> ("I can't abandon the mission, can I? I'll be in big trouble...")> ("Since I gave it to you, I can take it back, too. You wouldn't be in any trouble.")
> ("Then we'd both be in trouble.")("With who, might I ask?")
>("Uh Mirai? She gave me the mission, right.")("It's her request, yes, but it's me who decides if we focus on it in there. Otherwise you'd be running around looking for friends she made, or things someone else over here wanted. And it is important, but what's more important is whether or not you actually want to do it. As the boss, I'm giving you the option instead of not tolerating failure getting sidetracked. Even if that'd maybe make things more efficient...")
>("And there must be an important reason for this mission besides testing out my ability.")
>Is our fairy body nearby?> You don't see it anywhere...
//I'm OK with following orders. What are your thoughts on it?
>("I'll do it.")("Hm. Alright then. No backing off later.")
>"Adelind, I think your friend kept my spare body."
>"You said you were curious about being controlled by my ability. Do you want to try it?"
>Try imposing our existence on the fairy body to force it to stand
->Without possessing it
> "Alright. Well then, pardon the intrusion..."> You make an attempt, making it stand up pretty well.
> Move inside Adelind and possess her.
>>What abilities do we have?
>>Where is Aurora?
//May still mostly lurk, but I felt the need to do this:
>>Have we gotten a hoard of gold to sleep on at least?
>> How does it feel to be possessed? Can we even tell there's a difference?>> You are capable of transforming fully into a humanoid form - save for your eyes, and almost fully inbetween such and your building-sized Dragon form.
>> Can we tell the difference between what we do/think and what we are being possessed to do/think?>> Yes. You think that might e part of your ability though.
>> What is the answer to the unsolved riddle about dragons (https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/3724823)?
>Head in the direction of the shrine with the fairy body
>>Do we think we were possessed before the Scarlet Mist Incident
>>Did we save the thunder dragon Kasen originally killed?
>> Head in the direction of the Shrine.> You have your fairy body start for the shrine...
>> Examine ourselves as we travel.
>> How long does our full transformation take?
>("What do we have to contain her?")>> You are wearing a black - gold kimono, with a few designs of red spilled about. Its been getting tougher to wear, and you might need a larger size... At least, you stand out a bit more in a crowd - though not as much as others like Reimu.
>>Does our ice breath cause ice to form on objects?
>>What spellcards do we have?
>> Why has our kimono been getting "tougher to wear"? Examine the parts of our body that are causing the need for a larger-size kimono.>> Your chest has grown quite a bit past the b cup size you used to be... As has your dragon form - being larger than its previous building size. Though you havent been able to compare to anything well recently.
>> What is our opinion of Aurora?
>> Double-check our hips and backside to see if they're also causing outfit problems.>> They... Arent. As much at least.
>> When we use 'building-size' as an estimate, does that mean we are larger than the shrine we're heading toward? If so, how much larger than it?
>> What would happen to this entity if they tried to possess the Hakurei shrine maiden?
>> Are we okay with this entity and/or ourselves causing chaos around/at the Hakurei shrine maiden?
>> Are we okay being an accessory to this entity's efforts to do whatever they are going to do to their target?
>> How has being possessed felt so far?
>>What do we know about the entity that is possessing us?>> They come from another world entirely, with different laws and individuals with scary amounts of control and depth with what their ability details. The one possessing you is one of the lesser worries, should she become an enemy. Her boss, however, stands on the very end of the opposite side of that spectrum. She gives you some worry of whatever they're planning to do in Gensokyo.
>>Do we have money to buy a new kimono?
>> Do we know why we've grown? Is it simple aging, or is there some other supernatural influence at work? Might we continue growing?
>> How do we feel about how we've grown?
>> Given we can change between a humanoid form and a dragon form, are we capable of altering the shape of our humanoid form?
>> Are we okay with the entity possessing us using us to pursue their target, and possibly doing whatever they're going to do to/with their target using our body?
>> Are we capable of resisting the entity possessing us?
>> Are we capable of forcibly ejecting the entity possessing us from our body?
>>How many people know we are a dragon or youkai?>> The inexplicable meta understanding of yourself continues to evade you and stay autological. You cant explain why You've grown, just that you have.
>>Do we care?
>>What is the difference between a dragon youkai and a dragon?
>> Given we were expecting more growth, and we are capable of changing our humanoid shape, change our humanoid shape to (a) grow our chest even larger, and (b) grow our hips and backside enough that our current kimono is clearly inadequate for them as well. Might as well have some fun given we need to replace the kimono regardless.>> Youre not going to ruin an outfit you could hand down to Rin. Besides, you're not even sure you can grow in that way.
>> "Ah, am I that tiresome already?"
>"Ahh, we're becoming bosom buddies."
>>I really haven't felt this motivated in a long time. Maybe the entity has its uses.
>"But of course she knows that I know that those are her thoughts."
>Possess the fairy body
>> Don't reshape ourselves to grow our chest, then. Just reshape our hips and backside to be larger, and don't make them so large that we ruin our outfit, only large enough that our outfit is clearly inadequate. As for not knowing if we can or not, the best way to find out is to try and see what happens.

>> "I was hoping you could help, honestly. Plus, I enjoy it in here."
// Folks are welcome to disagree with this dialogue and suggest an alternate speech. This is how I'm feeling at the moment, though.
>Hold on possessing the fairy body>> Youll try it when Shes busy with her thing. Otherwise, you'd be delaying her further, and her boss seems willing to take the objective into her own hands if it takes too long...
//I agree. This blast from the past was a fun surprise
>> "We already have two units, actually. I can still take care of things here."
> Have the fairy body smile and wave at Adelind and Reina, and then set off toward the trees around the shrine, looking each of them over for creatures that may be hanging out in them.
>>Where is Aurora specifically?>> The tree the Three Fairies of Light live in. You don't know which that is...
> Have our fairy body watch specifically for signs of regular residence as she inspects the trees.
>> "Good day, by the way."
>> Give the shrine maiden a bow.
>> Then get back to changing our shape so our hips and backside are larger as previously indicated, now that the entity possessing us is doing her thing.

>> "Try to play nicely, now."
>> Get back to focusing on changing our shape.
> Listen in on the conversation between the boss and the newcomer as we search.
>Try tapping on the trees and listening for a hollow sound> You start knocking on trees...
>What does the new fairy look like?
>Have our fairy body return
->Give the new fairy the urge to introduce herself to our fairy body.
>> Is this new fairy a Fairy of Light?> Orange clothing and hair - in twintails. Short, like the rest of the normal fairies you've seen so far.
>> Get back to changing our shape. How's the progress on that, anyway?
> Urge the orange-haired fairy to come back to us and be visible again and tell our fairy body where her (the orange-haired fairy's) house is.
>Plant the thought, 'maybe this fairy can help us' in Sunny>> No progress yet.
>> Do we feel the shaking? If so, can we confirm what it is?
>> Do we possess any general knowledge for how one would change their body shape, perhaps?
>Can we tell the direction of the shaking?> Yes.
>Have our fairy body say, "Did anyone feel that?"
>> Try showing our horns somewhere other than where they usually appear, like...our shoulders.> "I'm pretty sure... that was that girl's meddling." Reimu looks aside.
>> Unmake our horns.>> You do so, and continue your attempts.
>> Then go back to trying to change our shape to grow our hips and backside.
> ("Boss? Are you okay?")
>> What does Rumia mean by that?
>If we can>> You think she means a more explicit look at yourself? Well, many people do find it easier to cut their hair or fix something about them when they can see it... Maybe the same principal can apply here.
-> Head to where the fairy vanished
>How much do we remember about physics and science?
>Try possessing the invisible entity without first removing ourself from Adelind
->Where is Adelind?
>> Is there a non-trivial body of water close nearby? If so, head to it, and have a look at our reflection in the water. Even just a pond will do, as long as we can see ourselves in it.> You try, but it doesn't seem to work out.
>Try to possess the invisible object> Your second attempt also ends in failure... Maybe 3rd times the charm? Or you could ask Reina for help.
>("Reina, I am trying to possess an invisible object without success. Did I ever mention a problem like that before?")("You may need a better understanding of your ability.")
>Try manipulating a safe distance away the existence of space so it curves inward.

>> "Reimu, would you happen to know the location of the nearest body of water?"
>"Any idea on how to get into a fairy tree?"
> Remotely influence the shrine maiden to answer Adelind's question.>> "Huh? Oh, my bad. I was lost in thought. ...Uh... Its bait..." Adelind explains. "I dont know if that means theres no one inside, or if its a trap, bur Thats what my ability can discern.
>> Has Aurora changed locations?
>> Do we know where the Misty Lake is?
>("That was a slip up. Now I know more about my ability and I won't underestimate her again.")>> You just know that this is bait. You don't seem to know if she's here, or elsewhere.
>Try to grow the invisible tree faster on one side so that its branches touch the ground
>"Sorry about that, Adelind. I messed up."
>Face palm with our body and the fairy one, "Aurora told them and she and the two fairies are playing hide and seak with us. What can the other fairy do?"
>> We know about the pond? Silly us, that'll work just fine for a body of water. Head over to it and have a look at ourselves. That entity's fairy body can handle things here.
>"Aurora did run away. Admittedly, I'll take whatever wins I can get.">> You head behind the Hakurei shrine, to the pond there.
>"My current objectives are create a lasting impact and help someone, correct."
>Try altering the existence of the fairy body so it exists less like Rin.
->Try doing the reverse.
>> Is there anyone else around, outside of those contained within our body and our shadow?>> Genji lives here. Though you don't see him yet, at least. Maybe underwater?
>> "Do you think this could help, at least? Or is it a waste of time?"
>"Is Rin available right now?"
->"I want to see if I can help increase her existence. What did that to her?"

Meddling too much with your ability on her might end up making things worse, as I don't think you can better her situation in any way - not that it looked too bad in the first place.")
>> Focusing on our appearance as shown in our reflection in the water, resume trying to alter our shape so that our hips are wider and our backside is larger. Hold our kimono slightly open to see ourselves directly if need be.
>> Keep changing our shape! Don't lose focus now...we can't get distracted by small gains that might not even be real.
>"I'm thinking we find Marisa with how the fairy seemed to trust her.">> You keep on... Not seeing much more change.
>> We can't get ourselves down. Keep trying. And...hold our kimono a little more open to eveal a little more of our hips and backside, so we can see them and focus on them better.>> You keep your attempts and focus up, getting your kimono more out of the way. Less on your chest, more on your hips and rear. You can do this! You're a youkai. Dragon Youkai, but still a youkai. Not everyone looks like some one eyed creature, many are humanoid. And you can take a human form too, so surely you can change it!
> ("Huh? Why? Where are you going? What's going on?")("Just a short trip.")
>> Excellent! Move a little more of our kimono out of the way and reveal a little more, and keep going!
>> If it is feasible to do so, also shift our kimono to reveal a bit of our chest, and work on reshaping our chest to be larger as well.
> ("Before you go, what can you tell me about this Rikako Asakura that Miss Adelind mentioned?")("I don't know much about them. You should still be fine.")
>> Reveal a bit more of our chest to get a better focus on it, and continue reshaping all three areas to be larger.
>> Continue reshaping all three areas to be larger.>> You continue. Though... it looks like you might've gone too far in regards to fitting your outfit. Well, there's Rumia's world anyways, where no one's going to be seeing you. You can wait out a new outfit there. Or just stick to your dragon form in there, if Rin is bothered by it.
> Have a look around, then. What's immediately visible that is of potential interest?
//@Folks with an emotional attachment to Adelind: I will stop doing this if you want me to if you actively don't want it to happen. It has admittedly become very useful as a guard dropper, though; you might be able to pump her for more information while she's distracted and not thinking about what she doesn't want to tell us.
> Can we 'feel' the invisible tree 'exist' more than, say, the empty air around us?> You try to compare the two...
>> Is our outfit actually ripped somewhere? Or is it simply now too small to contain us properly?
>> Is our kimono too small in all three areas, or just one or two?>> You're not sure.
>Try reducing the existence of a tree
->See if you go through the tree
>> Continue reshaping ourselves to grow in all three areas, then.> You try...
>> Have a look at our kimono. Is it in danger of tearing in any of those areas?
>> ...Is it 'off' as in 'askew', or as in 'we are no longer wearing it and are now exposing our naked body to the world'?
>Try the extremes of our power on a tree>> The latter.
>> ...>> You may have gotten a bit out of hand. Looking at your reflection, while the sizes are pretty good, they don't fit you... Rather, you don't like how you look being this... Curvy. Maybe its your height and rest of your body not pairing up well with it? Or maybe its your own preference to not be so big... You dont think any outfits would fit this.
>> ...How big did we get?
> Are we capable of communicating telepathically with someone we're possessing?> Youre not sure
>> We do look very nice this large, though, and we did look very nice at the previous even larger size. At least, the entity possessing us thinks so, even if we're not so sure ourselves. It seems she also thinks we shouldn't make a competition out of our appearance and our friends' appearances...
> Speaking of large, how does Rumia compare to Adelind? To the current one, and how does she compare to the larger Adelind from before?>> You consider your choices... You know itll at least be a significant decision...
>> Okay, but how do WE feel about that? Comparisons. Now that we can take the lead — and are right now — over Rumia, how is that for us?
>> ...It seems the entity possessing us thinks we should give the even-larger size from earlier a try, just to see what it's like. We enjoyed changing ourselves enough to reach that point in the first place, so maybe there's something to it... Though it also seems the entity inside us acknowledges that it's ultimately our decision, since it's our body, and thinks we should make the decision we think is best.>> Its alright to be bigger than her, but you liked her getting more attention when she came out.
>> ...Oh, it also seems the entity will be sad and will miss us if forced to separate from us...
>> "We also have been coordinating, to a degree...it appears she has been guiding herself and making decisions based on my knowledge. Even now she has been still searching and attempting things, though those attempts have been almost grasping at straws given our sudden combined lack of information.">> You store your outfit away for now.
>> Retrieve our kimono from wherever it is (presumably the ground) and stuff it into our cleavage for safekeeping. (If our chest is no longer big enough for this, reshape ourselves to make it bigger until it is.)

>What have we changed about Gensokyo> You are currently in your human form, nude and vastly sized up in certain areas compared to how you used to look... It's not like they're a pain or heavy, you just don't think you're someone who can "do" this look... Especially given it's not how you naturally looked. You're better smaller, and you know that some others also believed such. You don't know what Rumia and Rin think, though.

// That answer definitely makes me not want to defer the decision.> Possible, but as for the reactions...
// Well, phooey, I don't like this situation very much. What are folks thinking? I'm slightly leaning toward Gensokyo, but could be convinced in the other direction, I suppose.

> What knowledge has our decision imparted upon us?
> How willing are we to donate from our hoard to the shrine?
>Edit our spellcard> Noel shouldn't be a problem for the sages. Reina, however... Their strengths and magic should exceed hers... The problem might be her ability and her own understanding of it. Their origins and how their world works make this completely unfair. It'd be great if you could get someone else from their world to turn on them, but it should be possible for Gensokyo to last if her ability isn't used.

->What are her feelings about the settlement
>Does Seija actually belief in the weak should rule the strong?
>So her ability evolved?> Such has always been a part of her ability. Its where her "cheat items" come from.
>"This will be interesting. She'll want to protect the village, but her personality may make it difficult to secure her aid."
>"Do you know where she is, Reimu?"
>Do we know where Seija is?
->If not try tracking the Amanojaku via scent
>"I wasn't referring to you, Reimu."> Your ability hasnt been wrong about too much. Well, being the protagonist again was something your ability details wouldn't happen, but here you are. And you were supposed to just be like this until Noel returned, yet here you are...
>What has our ability been wrong about in the past?
>What did our ability say about Noe1 before it said she and Rena would destroy Gensokyo?
>Does our ability seem sentient in retrospect or it could have come from Noe1's world?

->"Does your intuition say I'm wrong? I would love to be wrong about this incident."
>Continue towards Seija> They dont seem to mind you.
>How have the residents reacted to our presence?
>"Ah. Well, do you have an idea of how to get Seija to help? We might leverage that Noe1 and company would affect her and the village."
>What does Seija like?> You know she supposedly likes things most wouldn't, but your ability cant pick up the specifics. You wonder if everyone here already knows what she likes enough for it to be common knowledge.
>Does she have any secrets we can use as leverage?
>"I guess a lot of people here know her tastes. We can ask around or if that doesn't pan out, try asking Shinmyoumaru."> " She doesn't live at my place anymore." Reimu answers.
>Glance around for friendlier looking faces

> So they aren't put off by our current shape?> They aren't.
> Huh...perhaps this figure isn't so bad after all. Maybe we should keep it for a while longer...> definitely not only your friends seemingly viewing it as good on you...
> It does seem like something we set has upset them, though. We should try to fix that. Can we tell exactly why they're disappointed?
> Hmm...we should take an interest in them as well, then.> "Its been quiet here. Which is alright. Its much better here than roaming around Gensokyo."
> "Oh my how wonderful."
> Smile a bit.
> "How is life treating you? Well, I hope?"
> Nod.
> "Good, good. It would truly be a shame if you earned this level of existence only to despise it."
> "Would you be willing to converse further once our business with Seija has been conducted? I wish to learn more about you, whatever you are willing to tell me about yourselves."
>"I'm glad to hear the village has treated you well."> "Well... If we happen to cross paths again, i guess." Yatsuhashi agrees.
> "You are welcome to come with me."> "We're just enjoying the morning. Don't want to get into too much just yet."
> "I meant more after our initial round of business with Seija has been conducted. I imagine that will take a little bit of time. She may also be coming with us, depending on how business goes."
>"I do expect a little trouble today. Perhaps I could visit you on a less busy day."> "What will you be doing?"
> How large are the tsukumogami's entire bodies compared to our current chest size?> Their bodies are larger than your chest.
> "Ah. That..."
> Glance over to Reimu, then back at the tsukumogami.
> "...may be best kept a secret from those uninvolved, for their sakes. Unless our shrine maiden disagrees?"
> How much larger?
> Would these tsukumogami be of any help to thwart the incoming disaster?
>"Incident resolving, someone is imitating people. If you see someone starts acting out the ordinary it is better to avoid them as they can vanish in the blink of an eye and then ruin your reputation. "> At least thrice one's size? If not four times. They're average height, its not fair to compare a person to a body part.
> If the tsukumogami curled up into balls, would they fit inside our chest? Or are they still too big for that?> Youre a dragon youkai, nor an Oracle, or something that doesn't care where its eaten prey ends up - you don't want to consider such.
> "If you truly believe that, then that is enough of a reason why you might be targeted. Do please keep alert, yes."
> Well, if they wanted just to come along or something, we could give them a lift and keep them safe that way. It'd be really easy to converse with them and learn more about them too, with them sitting right there.
> "With that said..."
> Look to Reimu.
> "Where might we be able to obtain a gift for the little princess, do you think?"
>Kilgamayan> Keeping people out of reach is Rumia's specialty.
> That may be, but Rumia does it in a way where they're somewhere else and not still with you, doesn't she? With this way, we'd have the little dears immediately with us at all times, in easy conversation range.> You refuse to consider further. There are only negative differences between risking yourself and those involved versus using Rumia

>Do we know where the market is in this town?> You don't believe the risk to be worth the possibility.
>Do we have any yen in our hoard?
>Ffffffff - OK, you can do this.> "She might like a doll or something from Alice."
->It might take a bit, but if Gensokyo survives then we can collect our lost treasure through honest means.

->"I'd love to see that, but more importantly that seems like a good gift."
>If Reimu floats off, follow.
> If we do indeed leave, say to the tsukumogami: "It has been a pleasure, dears. I hope to see you again soon. Perhaps next time, you will be able to join us." (If we don't leave, don't say this.)> " It can be a normal sized doll." Regime speaks.
>"I'll be sure to come and visit at a better time. Take care Benben, Yatsuhashi."
>Float up and head towards Alice's house
->Stop if Reimu isn't following
> Smile what we hope is a warm smile at the two tsukumogami as we bid them farewell.> The two wave you off.
> On our way toward Alice's house, if we find a time where Reimu isn't paying close attention to us, try looking at our body and changing its shape so that our chest, hips, and backside grow a little more.
> Hmm...> You decide to try anyways.
> ...Try reshaping our chest to grow it a little larger anyway.
>Let our body resume its 'natural' human shape
->Try our chest again
>"What do you think Alice will ask for an inchling doll?"
> Do we have anything in our hoard that has a reflective surface? If so, retrieve it, angle it so we can see our chest in it, and try growing it again.> You try again, to no avail.
>"That'll be nice. Do you think the doll will garner her interest?"
>There goes the opportunity to get relieve the anxiety and stress through combat with the Goliath Doll.
> Are there any reflective surfaces immediately visible?> Reimu nods.
> Is Reimu looking at us? If not, have a look at her backside, and remotely try to change its shape to be a little larger.
>Nod
>Have we ever tried using fire and ice breath at the same time?
> Nod and begin landing.> You have not.
> While we're looking at her, remotely try to change the shape of Reimu's chest to be a little larger.
> Do we know why Reimu's body isn't changing?
>Head to Alice's house and knock on the door> You'd assume it's because it isn't yours... As far as you know, you're changing yours because you're a youkai, and they can have such varied appearances... There was never anything about youkai in general changing how others looked.
>Try to imagine ourself with brunette hair
->Try to change our hair color
> HAVE we been here before? Or did we just know?> You just knew.
> Does Reimu know about our talent for knowing things?
> Could we change Reimu's shape if we were making contact with her?
> Could we make Reimu a part of us somehow, in a way that (a) she would survive, and (b) could be undone so she would bec just herself again?
> Does our bountiful basin of knowledge not provide us any more information about making Reimu a part of us?
> What if we just straight-up ate Reimu whole? Would we be able to change her shape then, maybe?
>Give a Shrug> In your knowledge, it seems that if you could somehow literally make her a part of you, you might be able to change her - but such wouldn't be reversible to the point of returning her back to being a human.
->"In spirit? Other people's eyes?"
>Do we think our ability and lack of a past are connected?
> Do we know how Reimu wouldd react if we told her we were thinking about trying to change her shape similar to how we changed our own, but not to nearly the same degree?
> Do we know how Reimu would react if we asked her if we could non-lethally, non-painfully eat her?
>"It isn't a good explanation, but. . ."> You don't believe she would be too averse to such news.
->Roll onto our toes then back on our heels
>"I don't know how to really explain it."
>"Thank you."
>Do we know where Alice is?
> What is the extent to which our shape-changing abilities go? If we were holding an object, could we shape ourselves completely around it while still keeping it technically separate from us? Could we 'reshape' ourselves so our body seamlessly connects to the object, making it a part of us?> Reimu glances down to herself for a second.
> "By the way, Reimu, you have seen what I have done to myself. I have been considering if it is possible to do the same to others. Would you like me to do the same for you? It would not have to be to nearly the same degree, of course."
> How would we make Reimu a part of our body? Would it be related to our shape-changing, or is it based in something else?> You would need something else. None of your abilities can achieve it...
> If making Reimu a part of our body is based in our shape-changing, how exactly would it be done?
> Are we able to reshape our humanoid body in manners other than scale resizing and switching to dragonoid form?
> How would Reimu take it if we asked if we could make her part of our body, assuming she would retain her own sentience as part of the process?
>"Kinda funny. . ."
->Smirk
>"The sparrows from your ritual attacked the three fairies here and inadvertently saved the children."
>"Sunny can spin a good yarn, but doesn't understand how to tell good lies."
> Do we know what specifically we would need to make it happen?> "Huh?"
> If we made Reimu a part of our body, would she still have her own body shape, free will, and all that, and simply be affixed to us in some fashion? Or would we look the same as we do now, with her soul/consciousness/whatever simply inside us somewhere?
> Do we know what would happen to Reimu's mind and body if we made her part of our body, then?> You do not believe they would still be so. In one way or another, they'd be changed.
> Is our chest presently large enough that Reimu could sit on/in it and we could give her a ride, toting her around? Consider both her draping/dangling her legs out in front, and tucking them into our chest to keep them securely in place.
> Would she be willing to do such a thing?
> Are we willing to do such a thing?
> Do we know what Noel and her boss entity are up to at present?
>"Do you remember when you did that purification ritual with real sparrows?"> You probably could... Wouldn't be that big a seat though.
> Why would Reimu not be willing?
> Have a look at our chest and try reshaping it to be a bit larger again, so that it becomes large enough to be a comfortable seat for Reimu (or someone else).
> Are Noel and her boss entity chatting with each other, with other denizens of their realm, or with Gensokyo residents?
>"Mmmm."> It seems she would think you're fooling around too much, at least. And perhaps she's a bit right...
>Do we have any clue what kinda of destruction they are planning?
->Slaying everyone
->Destroying the barrier?
>"I'm a little anxious about losing another home."
>Do we think we can replicate Byakuren's strengthening magic?
> Even if it's much less dire, certainly we could reshape ourselves at the same time as forming a plan for how to handle this incident? It is not as though reshaping ourselves requires speaking...can we not reshape ourselves while speaking?
> Has Alice met us before? If so, what is our opinion of her, and what is her opinion of us?
> What does Alice think of our current figure?
>"You've piqued my interests Miss. . ."> You could try, but you have reason to believe it would obstruct your objectives indirectly. At least in Reimu questioning what you're doing, and possibly being scolded...
>"Ah introductions are necessary. Adelind Aurum."
->Curtsey
> That's fair...it can wait until we're traveling from one objective to another, then, when we won't be distracting ourselves from an immediate task.
> Also, quite noteworthy that we've met yet another person that is not put off by our current figure...
> "Of course. Miss Margatroid, we come seeking a custom-made doll, to be presented as a gift. Do you know of Miss Shinmyoumaru, the kobito princess?"
>Kilgamayan> You don't expect Reimu to stop any business in that time at least.
> "She is also not aware we are requesting this. I am sure she would greatly enjoy it, though."
>Kilgamayan> Yes.
>Is the princess normally inchling size?
> Does our vast repository of knowledge afford us that information? What would the kobito princess like in a doll gift?> Knowing Alice and Shinmyoumaru, you believe a doll around her size that can move and act would be best. You know Alice is capable of making autonomous dolls already, but convincing her to use more of her power for such is difficult. Second best would be something like Shanghai and Hourai, while third would simply be having Shinmyoumaru use the mallet for the doll's movements and such.
> Look to Reimu.
> "That may be more your area of expertise than mine."
> "That would make sense. Having one her size would probably make her far happier than having one where she barely comes up to its ankle. I was thinking more along the lines of how it might look, though, in the event it could perhaps be customized to look like someone she knows."
>"Or perhaps it could be made to have pieces switched out."> "Would she want that? If not, I could make a few outfits."
>Could we offer to let Alice use our power for the doll?
->Would she be able to guess what we are from our power
> Look to Reimu again.> "I wouldn't think so."
> "Do you think she would want a doll of a specific person?"
> Look back to Alice.
> "I suppose that makes things simpler, then. A few outfits would most surely be well-received."
>"Would it also be possible to make it autonomous?"> " Er... Im afraid that's a bit much for me right now..." I can start on the outfits now, though."
> Why is that request too much for Alice at the moment? (Do not ask this out loud, simply check our library of knowledge.)
> Nod.
> "Understandable. Ah, and at the risk of sounding greedy or impatient, how long does such a process take?"
>Kilgamayan> She doesn't like resorting to more of her power.
>Do we think we could replicate the process of making an autonomous doll?
->Do we think we could make it into a golem
> "Oh, that is quite the fast turnaround. What would you have us do in the meantime? Come inside, wait out here, fetch something for you?"
>"My, you must be a master of the craft to be able to finish so swiftly."> "Of course you can come in, but it won't take long. And puppets are one of my specialties."
> Nod.
> "Thank you."
> Look to Reimu and gesture toward the door.
> "After you, Miss Hakurei."
>Golem, autonomous doll, which is easier?> Reimu heads in as Alice holds the for open.
>Start going over the process of the easier.
> Is Alice watching us and holding the door open for us, or is she also heading back inside?> Shes waiting for you to enter, holding it and watching you. Like a good host.
> If both Reimu and Alice are heading (back) inside, and neither of them are looking at us, have a quick look at our chest, and try to reshape it so it is a bit larger, large enough to serve as a comfortable seat for someone of Reimu's size.
> Darn.
> Enter!
>Enter> You enter, and Alice closes the door behind you.
> Oho, some downtime...> "Im going to see if Marisa is home. Dunno if I'll ask for her help, though." Reimu reopens the door.
> Look to Reimu.
> "Well...now what? Shall we simply wait?"
> "It would be worth asking if she is willing, I would say."> "thats why-"
> What was the cause of the laser?> Your ability identifies the cause as BREWTHM. Though given Reimu ignoring it, maybe its no worry.
> "Best of luck, Reimu."
> Close the door behind her if she doesn't.
> Look around for a mirror or other reflective surface.
> If we find one, and Alice is still upstairs, focus on our chest in our reflection, and reshape it to be large enough for a person of Reimu's size to comfortably use as a seat.
> If we do NOT find one, and Alice is still upstairs, focus on our chest directly, and reshape it to be large enough for a person of Reimu's size to comfortably use as a seat.
> Are we now also large enough that we could carry the Tsukumos inside them if they curled up into balls?> It'd still take more. Unless they can literally curl up that much, rather than crouching.
> How indecent are we? Is anything particularly private exposed, or is our outfit simply very revealing?
> Could we partially cover both sides, at least, so that nothing particularly untoward is immediately visible?> If you used your outfit like a towel, you could cover it all,but that leaves your lower underwear in plain view.
> What if the Tsukumos curled into fetal positions, rather then crouching? Would that allow them to fit, or would it make things harder?
> If we made Alice a part of our body, would it be possible to restore her to her current independent state?
> Are there any differences between the processes of making Reimu part of us and making Alice part of us?
> Are there any differences between the effects of making Reimu part of us and making Alice part of us?
> Do we happen to have any clothes in our hoard, or stored away anywhere else?> No.
> Do we know the process of making Alice a part of our body?
> Is there any furniture present that we could stand behind so our lower half isn't immediately visible to anyone that isn't right next to us?> Yes. Though the dolls here have already seen your upper.
> Assuming Alice was willing to become part of our body, are we capable of making her part of our body as we are now?
> If so:
>> How long would it take?
>> How would she appear?
>> How long would separating her from us take?
> Maneuver behind said furniture, set our outfit up to be worn as though it were a towel, and then reshape our chest so it is large enough that we could carry the Tsukumos inside (assuming one on each side).> You retreat behind a table and change... Yourself.
> Would Alice be putting in all the work of becoming part of our body, then? Or would we be helping the process along?
> Would it be possible for her to become part of us so that, say, instead of where her legs would normally be, she is actually connected to/part of our tail, but the rest of her body looks at it normally does?
> If she became a part of us, would we have motor control over her?
> Would Alice know what to do to become part of us, then? Or would we have to instruct her?> You'd need to instruct her. It'd likely raise plenty of suspicion and distrust...
> Speak in a low voice.
> "This is less unproductive than you might think, friend."
> Well, if Rumia is going to give us clothes, tuck our kimono away in our chest.
> What risks are there for Alice in becoming part of our body, that she would be suspicious?> None. Explaining how to do it would raise suspicions.
> "I am considering repayment options. Not to say I would be offering myself up in this manner, of course."
> If we discussed the matter beforehand, and Alice was amenable to it, would explaining the process still raise suspicions?> Yes.
> If Alice were a part of us, would she be able to separate herself on her own? Or would she require our assistance?
> "Quite possibly. Not everyone can do some of the things you and I can do, after all."
> Why would explaining the process cause suspicion if Alice were amenable to becoming part of us, the process poses no risks to her, and she is able to separate herself from us?> It would show you know more about her grimoire than anyone Roger she knows does. Not only such, but also what she is capable of with it.
> "Generally speaking. I do have some other considerations at the moment to which this is more immediately relevant, but this specific act is not entirely unrelated to the potential repayment options mentioned earlier."
> Oh. That...might be a problem, yes.> Not nearly as well...
> Well. Is the process possible without the Grimoire's involvement, whether it's her doing all the work, us doing all the work, or both of us working together?
> "Throwing the amanojaku at her."
> Are we still capable of doing it here and now, assuming a willing Alice?> Without the grimoire, yes.
> If so, would it take longer?
> "And Miss Margatroid should be compensated for services rendered toward that end. So, here I am, considering possibilities for such."
> How much longer would the process take?> Should just be some extra minutes.
> "As I said previously, I am not offering myself up in that manner."
> Would we still be giving Alice instructions, or would we do everything ourselves?> No.
> Would Alice still be able to separate herself, or would she need us to do it?
> "Rather, under the right circumstances, I believe I can offer a small part of this to her for herself."
> Would the process pose any risks to Alice without the Grimoire? If so, what would they be?
> What is Alice doing right now?

->"She wants to stop the problem children too, starting at the shrine."
>"We'll need to ask Alice for another doll, After the shrine. This child won't wait."> "Well, I prefer getting rid of all the middle men in an incident as well." Reimu speaks. "But why don't you just comply when we're already this far into this plan? You want it to be a waste of time, or have some backup, even if we don't end up needing them?" Reimu questions the doll.
>Can our> You believe it can speak.dollghterdaughter speak?
->Hmm, daughter? Food for thought later.
>"With that resolved we should get another doll from Alice."
->If nothing happens or interrupts head to Alice's house
>How long until the doll needs a recharge?
->Does she know?
>"We have Noe1 or Noel who can impose her existence on people to control them either by making them think her thoughts are their own or directly controlling their actions."> Your forbidden knowledge just seems to come back with blankness in such an attempt.
>"Reina is a master of fusion."
->What more details can find on Reina?
>Who are our potential enemies and allies?
>Is Noe1 invulnerable when she reduces her existence?
>Shake our head
->"No, Reina's power and Okuu's are very different. Seija is our counter to her."
>Stroke our chin
->Could Satori's hypnosis cause Noe1 to forget her powers?
-->Does the Sanzu river cause forgetfulness?
>"There is also Mirai who knows the past and future, not a fighter though. The doll and I should be able to act as a counter."
->Glance at the doll
-->"You really need a name. Thumbelina?"
---->Use our power to find out her reaction if she gives us the silent treatment
>What abilities do Ana and Giana have?
> Who is Mirai aligned with?> She may be able to.
> If she is aligned with Gensokyo, or at least not aligned with Meira, is she okay with us just blurting her abilities out like that?
>"Alright, would Alese fit you? It means beautiful soul?"
>Use our ability to see what Mirai knows about the future concerning this incident.
->Then check on Rin, Rumia, and the doll's fate.
> Fortune favors the bold! Who does Mirai believe will win this conflict?> The doll doesn't seem to object.
> Does Mirai foresee our ruin specifically?> Yes.
> Does Mirai foresee any of the details that lead to our ruin? Maybe fooling around too much, or getting too seriously involved, or getting irreversibly possessed by Noe1, or something else along those lines?> It seems like taking this seriously will result in such. But you can't just ignore this. Especially since you were chosen, and you're being believed in.
> Could we use our ability to discern what Mirai's future sight would reveal to her in hypothetical situations she has not actually considered?> You think so...
> Do we know why we can't make the Tsukumo Sisters part of our body?
> What future would Mirai see if she looked at us asking Seija if we could make her part of our body?
>What does future look to Mirai where we explain to Alese how to use the moon sister's ability properly?> Its because they are Tsukumogami
>What does falling to ruin mean?
>"There is also Ana and Giana with abilities tied to nature."
->Say which if either would be willing to help us.
>Use our ability to learn barriers and seals from Reimu
>How is Gensokyo destroyed? Ecological? Everything punted to the outside?
> In that Seija vision, what part of our body does she become?> "It's not like we'll have to deal with all of them, right?"
> Is anyone in Seija's little camp capable of being claimed as a treasure?
>Who would directly oppose us in stopping this incident?
>Who would help Reina and Noe1?
>Of Reina and Noe1's possible allies who could we convert to our side?
>Try forming a small barrier in our hand
> Would anyone be alerted if we claimed Seija as our treasure, like Shinki with Alice?> At the moment, Reina and Noel.
> Could we make Seija part of our tail? If so, would she agree to it, and how would we look together?
> Could we make Seija part of our head? If so, would she agree to it, and how would we look together?
> Could we make Seija part of our chest or backside? If so, would she agree to it, and how would we look together?
> In each of those hypothetical situations, where would Seija be, and how would she look?> She would be a part of you. As such, she wouldn't really have an appearance of her own.
> Would Seija still have a consciousness? If so, would she be able to move or otherwise influence our body at all (e.g. if she became our tail, would she be aware of such and be able to, say, wag)?> No.
> Would we have access to Seija's mind and/or ablities if she were a part of our body?
> What benefits, if any, would making Seija part of our body confer on ourselves?> You would have more body mass.
> What benefits, if any, would making Seija part of our body confer on Seija?
> Would making Seija part of our body confer any other benefits beyond simply making us heavier?
> Who else in Seija's camp could we make part of our body, since the Tsukumos are out for whatever tsukumogami-related reason?
>Could we add Seija to us using Daiyousei's fusion technique> No. Other than fusion or someone else's ability, making someone a part of your body thus way won't net any benefits.
>"We could get Mirai and Giana to possibly aid us. Currently the delinquent . . . the foreigners don't have any aid."
> If we added Seija to our body via Daiyousei's fusion technique, would Reina notice?
> If we added Seija to our body via simply making her a part of us, would Reina notice?
> How many other youkai are in Seija's camp?
> Could we possibly make all of those youkai part of our body, either all at once or one at a time? If so, how difficult would movement become with all of them along for the ride?
Aww dang, no fun stealth surprises :(
> If we made Seija and those five youkai parts of our body, would we appear to have significantly more mass, or would we be more or less the same size and shape, and simply a lot denser?
> In the futures Mirai would see where Seija agreed to become part of our body, how did we sell her on the idea?
> If Mirai were to look into the future of us asking those other youkai to become part of our body, how many would actually join us? (Assume Seija is already on board, as opposed to us just asking out of the blue.)
>"Alese, try using your ability on Mirai's."> The former.
>"Our ability lets us use Mirai's and know the futures she doesn't know."> "so fighting fire with fire." Him a comments.
> What would happen to Seija's town if we made her part of our body?
> ...Could we just make her entire town part of our body to keep it safe?
>What do we need and to do to win without deaths. Gensokyo's destruction and being mentally scarred.> Nothing from the act itself.
>Is it impossible even when we use Mirai's ability indirectly for the answer?
>"That can't be right. Alese could you give it a try?"
> What would happen to Seija's town if she were away from it for a little while did to being part of our body?> Yes.
> Could we even make her entire town part of our body, buildings and all? If so, what would we look like with buildings as part of us? Would those parts of us be building-shaped, or would we simply be generically more massive?
>"OK, do you know how to use your ability?"
> Are we capable of making inanimate objects part of our body, or are we limited to living creatures?> The doll nods, but gives an x with her hands, as if she doesn't want to.
> Is there any sort of size limit to things we can make part of our body?
>Why doesn't Alese want to use her ability?
>How would the group react if we told them how the incident will end?
>What would be Rin and Rumia's reaction to our past?
> How do we feel about showing our tail in front of Reimu?> She does not want to use up her energy source so wastefully.
> If we made Seija part of our tail specifically, and then changed our shape so our tail no longer showed, what would happen to Seija?
> If we hid our Seija-tail, would Reina still notice that Seija was part of us?
>"You are aware I would recharge you without compensation, right."> Yes.
>Is there anyway to end in a draw?
>Do we see Alice's house?
>Land and knock at the door> You descend and knock. A quicker response this time.
>"Sorry to bother you again. I was hoping you might make another doll. The previous doll I made autonomous."> "Really? Just like that? Will, you certainly shouldn't need my help to make a doll if you can manage that."
>Motion to Alese
>Scratch our cheek> "Mm... Ill be a bit." Alice returns inside.
>"I had to cheat with my ability. There were some unexpected side effects."
>Did we charge Alese as much as possible?> No.
>If there is a future we can convince Reina to duel us tomorrow> Yes.
->"Alese, come here please. I'll charge you."
-->Use our ability to safely charge Alese while we wait.
>If we fuse with Satori and Seija would we be more likely win a duel against Reina and Noe1 than any other incident resolver.
->Who would suffer if we duel the duo and to what extent?
>If we challenged Reina and Noe1 to a submission duel while we are fused to Satori and Seija and use their abilities to counter.> Your ability determines that more knowledge wouldn't help.
>What does are ability say would be able to counter Reina?> You consider what ways to counter Reina... It seems like there are a few options.
>In what circumstances could we tie?> if you both forfeit at the same time.
>"Alese, we can communicate through our ability by checking the others thoughts."
>Do we think Alice would like discussing Alese's differences from Shanghai and Hourai such as the shape-shifting and copying our ability?
>Confirm if the following is true
>The best we can do is tie
>To Tie we need to challenge Reina to a duel
>Seija was a counter to Reina if we didn't duel
>In the timelines where we tie what was it we did besides challenge Reina
->What did we need to offer Reina?
>Wait patiently for Alice
> While we wait...> Yes.
> Is anyone (other than Rumia, presumably) paying attention to us?
> If not, try reshaping our chest so it is somewhat concave on the outside sides, making each side form something of a crescent.
>This makes things easier.> "I just cut out the middleman. They'll assist us, and I've repaid them in advance." Alice speaks. "Much quicker than making more dolls and waiting for you..."
>"Ah, Seija, Shinmyoumaru, hello. What brings you here."
>Where is Mirai?> With Kosuzu at the Myouren temple.
>How peeved would Reina be if we fused with Seija for a duel and/or used our treasure ability to snatch her jewel during the fight?
>How long until Gensokyo's destruction?
>Can we fail from taking too long?
>"Thank you so much. I apologize for being a bother, Alice."> You give the new group a sitrep, then start for Mirai...
>Float up to the others
>"Now need to talk Mirai into helping or staying neutral."
->And informing everyone how bad the situation is.
>"Mirai is at the Myouren Temple."
>Start flying towards Mirai stop if something happens
->Go ever using the fusion Daiyousei developed
-->Then go over Patchouli's combat spells
>What do we know of our physical and magical abilities?> You know that you're strong physically, but you're not on the levels of the big magicians magically yet.
>Is the temple near?
>Is Alese aware of how bad the situation is?
>Land in front of the two.> You land. Kosuzu does have that future telling book in hand, though.
>If the other person is Mirai
->"Hello, Kotozu, Mirai."
-->Take a deep breath
--->"Mirai I want to talk to you about your boss and if you will help her."
>Who is Siena?//whoops..supposed to be Seiga.
>What is going on between the two?
>Where did Mirai go?
->Is she trying to avoid us?
>Who is Siena?
>What is going on between the two?
>Where did Mirai go?
->Is she trying to avoid us?
>What is Seiga planning> Kosuzu appears to be trying to get into the Hall of Dreams Great Masouleum.
>Is Mirai conscious> Yes.
>How does she talk?
>"Hello Kosuzu, Seiga."
>"Kosuzu can I borrow your book for a little while?"
