[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Looks that way."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Looks that way."

Aya:

> "What do we do, then?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Crying is sounding pretty good right about now."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Have our spare head float up to get a better look

>Inspect one of the bookshelves for dust and the kinds of books in the Scarlet Library

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Crying is sounding pretty good right about now."

Seki
>Have our spare head float up to get a better look

>Inspect one of the bookshelves for dust and the kinds of books in the Scarlet Library

Aya:

> "Maybe a rabbit will hear us. They know the ways, right?"

Seki:

> You make another head and rise up a bit.

> The bookshelves are in excellent condition.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Not at this height, they wouldn't. And I would rather die before being caught in that state anyway."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Not at this height, they wouldn't. And I would rather die before being caught in that state anyway."

Aya:

> "Hey, I'm not too keen on dying like this!" Hatate opposes.
> "Do we really have nothing?" Momizi questions.
> Still goes up... Still. Goes. Up.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> How high up are we now?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> How high up are we now?

Aya:

> You no longer see the ground.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Sigh.
> "I guess there's one thing I can do."
> Stop and start flying downward at top speed. (Obviously do our best to not crash into the ground.)

[Philosopher]

Seki
>What does our head see

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Sigh.
> "I guess there's one thing I can do."
> Stop and start flying downward at top speed. (Obviously do our best to not crash into the ground.)

Seki
>What does our head see

Aya:

> "What is it?"
> You divebomb for the ground...

Seki:

> More books... There's doors to another floor though. You'd guess this connects to the ground floor.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Head back the way we came and press on to find Eientei."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Go explore what's behind those doors

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Head back the way we came and press on to find Eientei."

Seki
>Go explore what's behind those doors

Aya:

> "Oh. Alright." Hatate sounds less hopeful.
> You stop before the ground, finding Youmu and co. are still here.

Seki:

> You need to find a way up there first.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Wait. We left their group by traveling horizontally for a while, then went vertically upward, have now come back by traveling vertically downward, and we've already run into them again???

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Wait. We left their group by traveling horizontally for a while, then went vertically upward, have now come back by traveling vertically downward, and we've already run into them again???

Aya:

> You wonder if the forest is illusory... Or if they just followed you.
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Summon three more heads
->Grab onto two and try to lift ourself up with them

>Have the other two get under our feet and push us up

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Sigh.
> Take on a defeated tone.
> "What do you want?"

[Neovereign]

Seki
>Summon three more heads
->Grab onto two and try to lift ourself up with them

>Have the other two get under our feet and push us up

Aya:

> Sigh.
> Take on a defeated tone.
> "What do you want?"

Seki:

> You summon more heads, and start to lift yourself.
> You're heavy, but it's working...

Aya:

> "I knew you'd get lost. Don't like listening, huh?" Mokou questions.
> "Wanted to know if you needed a hand." Reisen says.
> "Ah, we're not going to die like this?" Hatate questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "If you knew I would get lost, why did you dance around the matter instead of outright saying 'hey, don't leave, you can't get out on your own'?"

[Philosopher]

Seki
>How stable are we

>Can we see the side walls?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "If you knew I would get lost, why did you dance around the matter instead of outright saying 'hey, don't leave, you can't get out on your own'?"

Seki
>How stable are we

>Can we see the side walls?

Aya:

> "Because you seemed like you really wanted to do things your way..." Reisen says. "Otherwise, you probably would've followed along Youmu like us."
> "Actually, I literally said "Do you have a way to get out of this forest? It's become almost impossible to." Mokou crosses her arms. "I'm guessing you thought you could just fly straight out of it? Or go fast enough to break out?"

Seki:

> No.
> Not very stable, but it can work for now...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Look to Reisen.
> "I'm not imposing my presence on her. I don't even want to be doing it now. I really wish you three would have left without me."
> Throw our hands up in frustration.
> "Because we don't have time for any of this! This arguing is stupid! Everyone's arguing everywhere is so stupid! People all around are wasting time shoving their heads up their own asses just to be correct or contrarian or whatever else instead of actually trying to help fix the problem! So let's just all pretend we've all said whatever we each need to say to assuage each others' egos and work together to do something!"

Aya:

> "Uh..." Reisen and Hatate both speak.
> "In short, we need more people doing useful things rather than wasting time." Youmu speaks up. "Which is why I left in the first place. My little group's been much more useful than me just being around to help people focus or move somewhere. I can get you out of here and to the mountain, or you can use the wind and muster as much speed as you can to break out of here. I think you can do that."
> Youmu sounded a bit genuine, compared to the tone she's been giving before.
> "Is there even a need to rush so much..." Mokou mumbles.
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Summon enough heads to make a carpet big enough to lay on.
->Land and lay on it
->Try to float a foot

>How does this compare?

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Clap once and point at Youmu with a smile.
> "Perfect. We know that your method works, and we don't know if mine works or not, so let's do yours."

Aya:

Seki:

> You try, but can't get enough to lay down...

Aya:

> Youmu offers her hand.
> "Oh. Now we're leaving." Reisen speaks, taking the swordswoman's hand, alongside Mokou.

[Philosopher]

Seki
>What’s our max amount of heads

>Do we confidently think we could fly up to the second floor?

>Try flying like we did before the mooning.

[Neovereign]

Seki
>What’s our max amount of heads

>Do we confidently think we could fly up to the second floor?

>Try flying like we did before the mooning.

Seki:

> Looks like around 7?
> Yes. Though it wouldn't be too luxurious.
> You try to fly, but don't get off the ground...
