Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 3

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Largely people-wrangling. Go figure that a lot of different folks have been affected by what has happened in different ways and have different opinions on how to proceed."

Aya:

> "Largely people-wrangling. Go figure that a lot of different folks have been affected by what has happened in different ways and have different opinions on how to proceed."

Aya:

> "Close friends?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Some of them, yeah."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Some of them, yeah."

Aya:

> "And they're settled now?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "No. But things are either ongoing or in a state where I can't currently do anything to advance them, at least not without abandoning everything else I'm doing for an extended period of time."
> While speaking, give wind orders to the five closest tengu to us (not counting anyone inside us, obviously) to stare at our chest. Without making a show of it, take note of how many actually do.
> "Incidentally, do any of you know where Lord Tenma actually is?"

Aya:

> You give an order...
> Theres... hardly any that aren't stealing a glance.
> "Like the other higher ups, we have her... in holding."
> "We're borrowing some space in the palace for them."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> So basically the entire mob is staring? Or are we just checking the five we gave that order to?
> "I'm impressed they went that peacefully."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> So basically the entire mob is staring? Or are we just checking the five we gave that order to?
> "I'm impressed they went that peacefully."

Aya:

> The 5 are staring. Many others are only getting peeks with a slight gaze down for a moment.
> "They could be waiting for us to fall apart and come around with "We told you so" attitudes."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "I mean, maybe, but I would have thought they'd try to fight back a little bit before settling into something like that. Being passive-aggressive doesn't feel like how they'd conduct themselves, and I'm not just saying that because Boss Iizunamaru can hear us. But maybe I've misjudged them."
> Do any of the five closest look like they particularly enjoy the view, and may be actively holding themselves back? If so, while speaking, give that one a wind order to reach into our cleavage for Boss Iizunamaru's blouse. (If there is more than one like this, choose only one for this order and leave the others be.)

Aya:

> Yes.
> You try. Though she doesn't try anything...
> "Even they know we shouldn't be infighting."
> "We're ready to start discussing." The bold tengu you were searching for appears, with those from the village.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Look to the bold tengu.
> "Oh hey, welcome back. Hope everything went okay?"
> While speaking, give the bold tengu a wind order to reach into our cleavage to find Boss Iizunamaru's blouse.

> While speaking, give the bold tengu a wind order to reach into our cleavage to find Boss Iizunamaru's blouse.

Aya:

> "It-"
> You give a wind order, though you feel a rumble and crashing near the palace. At the palace?
> "Eh?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Look over to the palace. Can we see what happened?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Look over to the palace. Can we see what happened?

Aya:

> Some Tengu scrambling about as if attacked?
> You think you see something white, but you have no idea what it could be. The sun pouring in?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Scoop up the bold tengu in one arm, one of the tengu that was talking to us previously in the other, and speed off toward the white thing. (Don't fly right into it, just in case it's that hell raven firing laser beams off everywhere.)

Aya:

> Scoop up the bold tengu in one arm, one of the tengu that was talking to us previously in the other, and speed off toward the white thing. (Don't fly right into it, just in case it's that hell raven firing laser beams off everywhere.)

Aya:

> You grab a couple of Tengu, who both protest,  and fly towards the strange thing.
> It moves a bit but before you can notice more, a fierce wind surrounds it.
> You can only notice something red past the wind, alongside whatever the white thing is.
> The hell raven appears to be up here in the air with the Tengu, but not confronting the situation directly yet.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Force the wind to stop so we can see what the heck this thing is.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Force the wind to stop so we can see what the heck this thing is.

Aya:

> You prepare, but something tells you that you shouldn't... you have a feeling it won't go fantastically.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> How do we feel about our safety from flying into the wind?
> Frown.
> "Well, that's not good. You two ready to dive into whatever this is?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> How do we feel about our safety from flying into the wind?
> Frown.
> "Well, that's not good. You two ready to dive into whatever this is?"

Aya:

> You think you should be fine getting past the wind. Though there's whatever that white thing us to worry about... it could be an active laser.
> "W-What the heck? Why us?"
> "Nn... they might be attacking our higher ups there... did you do something?" The other asks the bold Tengu.
> "No! The surface tengu didn't do anything suspicious on their way here with me."
> You think the white thing is moving away?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Well, I'm not about to drop you. But lucky for us, I think we can avoid that wind for the time being."
> Maneuver around the wind to the hell raven, keeping an eye on the unknown white and red things.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Well, I'm not about to drop you. But lucky for us, I think we can avoid that wind for the time being."
> Maneuver around the wind to the hell raven, keeping an eye on the unknown white and red things.

Aya:

> "We can fly too-"
> You dart around to Utsuho.
> The wind seems to be closing in on the white thing, like a barrier.
> Okuu begins preparing a beam for the white thing, you believe.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Oi! Shoot if you need to, but what's going on here?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Oi! Shoot if you need to, but what's going on here?"

Aya:

> "We have no idea." The Tengu speak.
> "This is for messing with our home." The raven fires off a large laser.
> It pierces the wind and the white thing.
> With the wind dispersed, the white thing Is revealed... A large phantasmal serpent with red eyes, that hardly seems bothered by the laser that just pierced it.
> There's something on its head. Again, obscured by wind.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> ...Is this Mishaguji?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> ...Is this Mishaguji?

Aya:

> You comb your memory... large white snake... you think so.
> That means Suwako came down?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Hold on tight, ladies."
> Get in closer to see if that is indeed Suwako on the serpent's head.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Hold on tight, ladies."
> Get in closer to see if that is indeed Suwako on the serpent's head.

Aya:

> You approach the serpent.
> The girls in your arms start to panic. The bold one squirming like crazy to get free, with fear in her eyes, and the other visibly shuddering for a couple seconds.
> "This doesn't feel like a good idea." The other speaks. "I don't know why."
> You suspect it's the curse God's fault. But you don't think zsuwakp would attack you. ... hopefully.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> We got the bad feeling earlier that stopping the wind was a bad idea. Do we have that same feeling about approaching Mishaguji?
> Can we yet visually confirm Suwako is present, given how far we have gone so far?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> We got the bad feeling earlier that stopping the wind was a bad idea. Do we have that same feeling about approaching Mishaguji?
> Can we yet visually confirm Suwako is present, given how far we have gone so far?

Aya:

> It's a bit similar now.
> You can't.
