Title: Prismriver Quest - An Auditory Adventure!
Post by: Evil_Nazgul0616 on March 02, 2020, 01:36:25 AM
//As I said on my other quest, (https://shrinemaiden.com/index.php?topic=73.0) I had a pure Touhou quest in the works that I was planning on releasing within the week. This is that quest.
---------------------------

Prismriver Quest

>This is the story of three sisters: A group of musically inclined poltergeists well known throughout Gensokyo for their talents.

>Lunasa, the eldest of the three, is known for the melancholy notes sung by her violin. The hauntingly beautiful melodies she spews forth evoke depressive thoughts in all that hear it. Depending on how long one listens, her music can have a variety of effects ranging from a beneficial calming of one’s emotions to dangerous extremes such as outright despair and apathy…

>The middle child of the sisters, Merlin, has an opposite effect: The compositions blared forth from her trumpet are maniac in nature, evoking strong positive feelings in her audience. Those who listen long enough enter a state of pure mania. Becoming so happy that they rarely speak, and feel compelled to break out into spontaneous dance…

>Lyrica is the youngest child, and the complex tunes of her keyboard serve to bind the sisters together into a unique harmony. While dull and somewhat unsettling on their own, her otherworldly and unnatural notes are able to temper the extreme effects of her sisters’ melodies and eliminate the dangers associated with them…
 
>Together, they are the Prismriver Ensemble, one of the most popular musical groups in Gensokyo, whose services are often sought out for events such as parties and festivals. Occasionally, they partner up with a freelance tsukumogami drummer named Raiko Horikawa, to produce an even more unique sound that captivates their audiences.

>However, popular as they are, things have been rather quiet as of late. It has been quite some time since the three had last performed a concert together, and their rival bands are only rising in popularity… Their fans can only wonder what the reason for this odd hiatus is…

>Perhaps the reasons will be revealed in time, or perhaps not at all... One thing that is certain, however, is that before anything can be done, there is one thing that needs to be decided...

>...Which of the three sisters are you? (You can only be one.)

>Lunasa Prismriver
>Merlin Prismriver
>Lyrica Prismriver

// It also for sharing thoughts and ideas about cooperating and interacting in fair ways/moods via Lyrica ( players) with Merlin(Cheery and moderately Manic, least interacted  interpreted and involved as a Single Prismriver Sister) , Lunasa, rivalfriendly band members, etc. //

//Not parsing Branneg as things haven't officially started yet, and what he might be looking for may be answered in the writeup.
--------------------------

>...

>You are Lyrica Prismriver.

>You are the youngest member of your family, and your instrument of choice is the keyboard, which, as a poltergeist, you are capable of playing without having to make physical contact with it. Additionally, you have the ability to play illusory notes, which are musical notes that do not exist in the natural world. These notes have the odd effect of dampening the negative effects of your sisters' notes, and allow the three of you to play a beautiful, yet safe harmony.

>However, this also has the side effect of making your notes dependent on other notes to sound well. Unfortunately, this means that your desire to expand your talents as a solo artist has hit a bit of a snag... You don't let this fact deter you, though. Trying to find a way to circumvent the issue of your notes, you're always looking for new sounds and techniques to use to expand your abilites, and have gone on more than a few excursions in order to do so. Your sisters do occasionally follow you to see what you're up to -- to your slight irritation as they should really mind their own business... -- but they seem to have mellowed out recently...

>It's probably because Lunasa seems to have found a hobby of her own. You've noticed she's been going out a lot lately. You tend not to pry into her business. She's the eldest sister, after all, so as long as she's not endangering herself or the family she should be able to do what she wants...

>Merlin, on the other hand, doesn't seem to think the same way, and, in fact, seems to be a bit annoyed by whatever Lunasa's doing... You could probably ask exactly what's going on, but then again, with their attention off you, you could take the time to make some serious progress on expanding your solo career!

>...

>...Though, that being said, you should probably see what's going on sooner or later... They are your family, and perhaps you have been keeping to yourself a little too much these days... But perhaps that can wait. It's practice time, after all!

>Currently, you are in the basement of the Prismriver Manor, which you use as your practice area. Your keyboard is in front of you, freshly cleaned, and ready to play...

> Is our ability forcefully on 24/7, or are we capable of... not playing illusionary notes?
>it is. Every note you play has some illusory aspect to it. Much like how Merlin's notes are always maniac to some degree,  and how Lunasa always seems to have a melancholy tone whenever she plays.

// It is just the beginning and of course good changes and balancing are always welcome, but I am more inclined towards prioritizing the "Potential Quest" of " Prismrivers' Issue of Lunasa's New Hobby and Merlin's Disapproval" before  putting real effort on "Lyrica's Solo Career and Growth" while still retaining the aforementioned openness to changes and balancing //

// What do you think and suggest at this very early stage, Neovereign? //

> Look&listen around the room for a bit and if nothing is odd inside or around it, think of the sounds and music we encountered and do a small  practice by arranging them in different orders and gauging them

Post by: Neovereign on March 21, 2020, 09:18:43 PM
//I'd say we could probably work towards imporiving our own musical skills in the most important field, that is, not always playing illusion notes. It seems like it would serve us extremely well if we manages, and we'd even be the first of our sisters to do so.

>You look around. The basement is as it always is: Lots of old furniture covered in cloth and various things that were stored away a while ago. There's also the spider webs, but you don't really mind those.

>The basement is quiet, though it won't be for long. You begin to think about the various musical notes you've heard over the years and begin to will the keyboard to start replicating them. You play around with the order for a bit, trying to get something that sounds nice.

>You seem to be on to something, though it's still composed of illusory notes...

> If of equal choice ,start with Merlin's.
>The balancing effect of your notes happens automatically in the presence of your sisters' notes. You can't exactly replicate the same effect without those present, as it is an inherent property of illusory notes.

>You try to play as if you've never learned... and create an unsettling cacophony in your attempt to intentionally sound bad... What do inexperienced musicians sound like again? Oh, probably that...

>Come to think of it, you can't seem to recall "learning" your instrument at all. As long as you can remember you seem to have knowledge about how to play it. Of course, you've certainly improved over time, but the fact remains is that you don't remember starting with absolutely no experience.

>You think about the music of your rival bands...

>Choujuu Gigaku is pretty much The Prismriver Ensemble's polar opposite. Specializing in loud, angry melodies they refer to as "punk rock" as opposed to the ensemble's more classical, pseudo-orchestral style. They're also arguably your biggest rivals, having a rather large fanbase with younger youkai and humans.

>The Tsukumo Sisters are the new kids on the block. A pair of siblings specializing in a biwa and koto. You haven't interacted with them much, but they seem to be slowly making a name for themselves. Particularly among tsukumogami. Their music, from what little you heard, sounds more like traditional japanese music over anything else. In your opinion, it's "okay".

>Raiko Horikawa is less of a rival and more of a friend that shows up once in a blue moon. She's a freelancer who occasionally performs alongside the ensemble, producing a percussion line during concerts that adds a unique sound to your already well known pieces. The ensemble's fans enjoy these rare collaborative shows as well.

>Raiko pretty much goes where she wants. Often offering to join up with you if you happen to be performing in the area. Her audiences don't seem to have a main demographic, as she can perform pretty much anywhere for anyone.

>Your family can perform anywhere and anytime if someone requests and is willing to pay for your services. Of these private concerts, you tend to have them in Hakugyokurou, and, to a lesser extent, the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Publicly, the three of you also tend to perform near the human village. Mainly because it's a large, readily available potential audience. You also occasionally perform lakeside as well, since it's close to home. However, in the latter case, your audience is mainly youkai as most humans are wary about traveling far from the village.
