Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 4

[Kilgamayan]

Note for myself: Momizi was last heard from here, right before we got whisked away to ShingyokuSpace.

Aya:

> "No, you're fine, I just wanted to make sure you were okay. But now I'm very nervous...where could Momi have gone?"
> "Lord and Lady Shingyoku, can you still hear me?"

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Wait, our head is on fire?
->Tentatively poke the flames

Seki

Aya:

> "Momi?" Tokiko questions.
> "Lord and Lady... you make it sound like we're rulers of some sort." You hear the man's voice inside you.
> "I don't mind that." The female speaks.
> "Wait, but I didn't feel anyone in there." Ami speaks.

Seki:

> It is.
> Doesn't feel that hot to the touch. It's still kinda warm though.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> To Ami: "You may not have seen what looked like anyone, but there's an orb in there they can speak through."
> Look down at our stomach.
> "You can take it as a promotion, if you like. Anyway, do you know where my white wolf tengu friend went? She was in there, but it seems like now she isn't. Last I remember her talking, it was right before you brought me to where Dai was."

Aya:

> "I'd guess that the gap youkai did something with her." The female voice considers. "Maybe around when everyone had their souls drawn out?"

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Check if our maid hat is ok

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Oh...I hope that's the case. She'd be safe there. Thank you."
> Look to Utsuho.
> "In that case, Nuke Bird, can you give us all a little heat?"

Seki

Aya:

> "Oh...I hope that's the case. She'd be safe there. Thank you."
> Look to Utsuho.
> "In that case, Nuke Bird, can you give us all a little heat?"

Seki:

> It's still on your head, somehow not burned.

Aya:

> "Yeah." Okuu replies.
> A bit of warmth... but it doesn't help your face or legs.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Thanks. I might need a bit more for my legs, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it."
> Which is closer to our current location, the Shining Needle Castle or the Human Village?
> Which, to our knowledge, is better equipped for its denizens to handle extreme cold, the Shining Needle Castle or the Human Village?

Aya:

> Which is closer to our current location, the Shining Needle Castle or the Human Village?
> Which, to our knowledge, is better equipped for its denizens to handle extreme cold, the Shining Needle Castle or the Human Village?

Aya:

> You think the village?
> The human village might be better off. You don't believe Seija had much heat production in her skill set and inventory.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Alright, folks, let's go on an adventure."
> Take flight toward the Shining Needle Castle.
> While flying, give Suzaku a wind-order to squeeze our chest, to see if she'll do it.

> While flying, give Suzaku a wind-order to squeeze our chest, to see if she'll do it.

Aya:

> You start off for the castle...
> Her hands aren't out.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Oh, forgot for a bit."
> Retrieve the hands and arms of the four birds poking their heads out of us, so they have access to them and can move them around.
> "Just so you're not all stuck in place as just heads."
> Give Suzaku that same order.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Retrieve the hands and arms of the four birds poking their heads out of us, so they have access to them and can move them around.
> "Just so you're not all stuck in place as just heads."
> Give Suzaku that same order.

Aya:

> You do so, but the two birds put them back.
> "It's too cold. Besides, it looks like we can do it anyways." Ami demonstrates.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Oh, I suppose that's true. Actually, in that case, anyone that wants to can just dunk themselves entirely to keep warm in there."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Oh, I suppose that's true. Actually, in that case, anyone that wants to can just dunk themselves entirely to keep warm in there."

Aya:

> "We know we can't pull ourselves out when we go that far. I tried the first time this happened." Ami says.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> How is Tokiko holding up, that we can see?
> Frown a bit.
> "I don't really have any other settings options than what I've described. Are you okay just being a head for a while?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> How is Tokiko holding up, that we can see?
> Frown a bit.
> "I don't really have any other settings options than what I've described. Are you okay just being a head for a while?"

Aya:

> She's taken to heading back in.
> "Didn't this girl say she could heat us up outside?" Ami questions.
> "It's not like we can keep up with Aya."
> "Well I can definitely go faster than this. We'd be indoors by now with Aya's normal speed."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "I could go faster, but isn't it more fun to be able to chat like this while letting one person put in the effort instead of five?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "I could go faster, but isn't it more fun to be able to chat like this while letting one person put in the effort instead of five?"

Aya:

> "What's the plan when we get where we're going then? And any backups?"
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Try humming the tune the carriage was playing

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "We're headed to the Shining Needle Castle; they deserve a seat at the council table, so Seija and Princess Sukuna need to be informed. I also want to see how they're handling the cold; they were already in a bad way being stuck in the sky without anyone really capable of flight, and I'm worried that they're not really equipped to handle this weather."

Seki:

> You start to muse that short tune.

Aya:

> "They're indoors at least, right? Can't really make a fire outdoors like this."
> You feel like it's getting colder. Even with Okuu's attempts. This might be colder than before she started helping.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Frown and speed up.
> "...Is it just me, or are things actually getting colder?"

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Try to put words to the tune

>"I've never heard this song before today."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Frown and speed up.
> "...Is it just me, or are things actually getting colder?"

Seki
>Try to put words to the tune

>"I've never heard this song before today."

Aya:

> You go a bit faster.
> "Yeah. Maybe we're in a bad spot."
> You think your wings are beginning to freeze.
> Okuu raises her arm, and the cannon, out.
> It radiates an intense heat, which is hot for two seconds.
> Then hardly warm, even as it seems like more heat is added.

Seki:

> You're not sure what you'd sing about... snow?
> The lake is still pretty far...
> "Do you sing often?" Flan asks.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Wow. That's some really powerful weather..."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"Occasionally in the bath."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Wow. That's some really powerful weather..."

Seki
>"Occasionally in the bath."

Aya:

> "Ill... actually go in." Ami ducks in.
> "Same here. This is far too cold." Suzaku follows.
> Bad news is you really need to land...
> Good news is you think you can make it to the castle in view. Bit hard to notice through the snow, but it shouldn't be too far.

Seki:

> "D-Do you listen to music a lot?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Hold on tight, Nuke Bird."
> Floor it and get to the castle ASAP.
