Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 6

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Casually gesture at our...enhanced self.
> "I mean, I'll never say no to immediate company. But in terms of strict need, I should be okay. Not like I can't just yell at my own back for assistance if I need it anyway."

Aya:

> "Good luck, then."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Flash the speaker a thumbs-up.
> Then head out of the pocket dimension and back to where Kosuzu is.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Flash the speaker a thumbs-up.
> Then head out of the pocket dimension and back to where Kosuzu is.

Aya:

> You return to Suzunaan. Kosuzu's no longer putting on airs now. Though, she's still in the appearance you usually know, instead of the new one.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Wind whisper to Kosuzu: "Reimu's in the backdoor dimension now, so you're probably fine to be your true self again."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Wind whisper to Kosuzu: "Reimu's in the backdoor dimension now, so you're probably fine to be your true self again."

Aya:

> "I don't want to take the chance yet..." Kosuzu looks aside. "She'll probably get worried I'm trying something I can't handle."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Quietly: "I'll vouch for you if she does."
> Quietly: "...Also, please do tell me if I'm coming on too strong or making you uncomfortable with my behavior."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Quietly: "I'll vouch for you if she does."
> Quietly: "...Also, please do tell me if I'm coming on too strong or making you uncomfortable with my behavior."

Aya:

> Kosuzu chuckles.
> "I know I look great now. This stuff happeing to Gensokyo hasn't seemed too bad either. But I uh..."
> Kosuzu pauses.
> "Yeah, I guess I am running away from getting Reimu involved in any of this. But she has other things to do, and is always too worried about me when it comes to me. Like even when she came in here, she wanted to know about me, like I knew she would."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Quietly: "That's just because she cares, like I do. But you'll notice she took a youkai's word for it that you're sleeping and led a parade of youkai into the shop part a bunch more youkai that were already there. I think maybe she trusts you'll be fine to some degree. And if she does see the real you, you can probably just blame it on what happened to Gensokyo."
> Quietly: "So why not let yourself be yourself? If not for me, then for you. Not that I wouldn't still give you 'attention', of course~"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "...Later." Kosuzu decides."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Pout just the tiniest bit.
> Quietly: "Aww. Well, if that's what you want, it's your call."
> Quietly: "Anyway, don't leave Alice and Patchouli waiting for too much longer. I'm going to continue running around everywhere and gathering people."

Aya:

> Kosuzu looks back towards the meeting point in thought.
> You notice Youmu arrive at Suzunaan. Of course, her group is following, but the surprising thing is what seems like the new additions to it. Notably, the Watatsuki sisters.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Ah..."
> Look sheepish and step to the side out of their way.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Ah..."
> Look sheepish and step to the side out of their way.

Aya:

> "So this is what they meant by the Village." Youmu speaks.
> "You didn't even know where we were supposed to be headed?" Yorihime questions.
> "Shut it. We got here quick enough. At least we didn't have to scramble around the whole village in wondering where to go." Mokou snaps, as the group heads for the back.
> "Unless you already told more about this meeting, that's probably going to be the only one that comes..." Wriggle speaks up, coming out of hiding with a shrug. "I did what I could."

Seki:

> You can see more people heading for this store. A small group, with two, no, three of them appearing to be bunnies?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Did Yorihime seem to take note of us at all?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Did Yorihime seem to take note of us at all?

Aya:

> Not really.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Seki:

> Do we recognize any of them?

Aya:

> Wind whisper to Yorihime: "If you want satisfaction, have one of them retrieve me, and it's yours."
> Exit the shop.

[Neovereign]

Seki:

> Do we recognize any of them?

Aya:

> Wind whisper to Yorihime: "If you want satisfaction, have one of them retrieve me, and it's yours."
> Exit the shop.

Seki:

> You don't think you remember any of their faces well.

Aya:

> You exit the shop, spotting Kaguya, Eirin, Reisen, Tewi, and the bunny that was with the Watatsukis heading in.
> At least this time you're acknowledged, with Reisen giving a brief wave.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Return Reisen's wave with a smile.
> "Hey, good to see you all again! And not just because this saves me a trip. Is the Bamboo Forest still being even weirder than usual, or did that clear up?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Return Reisen's wave with a smile.
> "Hey, good to see you all again! And not just because this saves me a trip. Is the Bamboo Forest still being even weirder than usual, or did that clear up?"

Aya:

> "Yea..." Reisen sighs. "It still really makes you lost."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "But you can at least get out of it now?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "But you can at least get out of it now?"

Aya:

> "We can, yes." Reisen stops to speak, while the rest follow towards the other realm.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Grimace a bit.
> "Makes me glad I didn't have to make the trip."
> Nod our head in the shop's direction while still looking in Reisen's direction, grinning at her.
> "Anyway, best you get in there before your presence in my close vicinity gives Youmu a renewed determination to kill me."

> "Anyway, best you get in there before your presence in my close vicinity gives Youmu a renewed determination to kill me."

Aya:

> "She wouldn't do that." Reisen puts a hand to her chin. "She seems like she's just busy. Or maybe not looking forward to something. Why, do you think you wronged her?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "'We'? No, not at all. You did nothing wrong. I just happened to notice that, the last time I even thought about...getting to know you better, shall we say, she immediately put a stop to it."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "'We'? No, not at all. You did nothing wrong. I just happened to notice that, the last time I even thought about...getting to know you better, shall we say, she immediately put a stop to it."

Aya:

> "Hm..."
> "She's just protective of her girlfriend. Now hurry up." One of the rabbits calls.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Yes, that. Don't let me try to steal you from her. For everyone's sake."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Yes, that. Don't let me try to steal you from her. For everyone's sake."

Aya:

> Ah...uh huh..." Reisen continues on.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Wind whisper to Reisen: "Or do let me try to steal you from her, if you really want~"
> Get out sock and geta back on, and then head to the Hieda manor.

Aya:

> Get out sock and geta back on, and then head to the Hieda manor.

Aya:

> You depart, leaving for Akyuu's place.

Seki:

> Who's in the cart at this point? Anyone important?
